While the added new location provides some engaging bosses, it's the hockey stick wielding badass in Casey Jones that makes this DLC an absolute no-brainer.

With the appearance of a crimson beast on the rampage, Van and company set forth on another adventure and case to solve. With some new additions to combat and some fresh faces joining the ranks, the fate of Calvard hangs in the balance.

Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos is a complete miss. It feels like a glorified DLC pack for a previous game that never approaches anything deserving of its own release. The story and presentation feel like the first draft of what could have been special, and the driving itself is lackluster and boring.

Tails of Iron 2 is a bloody adventure that tells the story of Arlo, a young rodent that looks to avenge the death of his father at the hands of the Dark Wings. Arlo must gather his courage and rebuild his kingdom and then take the fight to enact his revenge and save the kingdom.

Big Helmet Heroes is a 3D successor to Castle Crashers, a fun beat’em brawler with fun characters, impressive abilities, and some engaging levels. While flawed in certain areas, it is nonetheless a great time for two players.

Eternal Strands takes the climbing of Shadow of the Colossus and Dragon’s Dogma can places it in a world full of life and color. As you attempted to uncover a decades long mystery and attempt to survive, you’ll track down beasts and monsters, harvesting their power for your own needs.

Sniper Elite: Resistance is more of the same, and while that is somewhat damning, it is at least more of what Sniper Elite 5 gave us, a damn fun multiplayer experience both in competitive and co-op.

Dynasty Warriors Origins is a staggeringly solid comeback after the disastrous Dynasty Warriors 9. Whether new to the series or a veteran of the franchise, Origins is hands-down the best in the series. 

Star Wars: Episode One: Jedi Power Battles Remastered could have been a charming beat’em up and fixed the list of issues that plagued it several years ago. However, with no real changes to gameplay, visuals, or its structure, Jedi Power Battles is the same bad Star Wars game it was 25 years ago.

Dreadout Remastered Collection is more port than remaster, but handles its atmosphere with great execution. As you explore the halls of a derelict school, trying to find your friends, you’ll use your cellphone to vanquish ghosts and other evil forces.

Hollowbody, is a game inspired to hell and back by Silent Hill 2, and with a new update that adds a third-person perspective to the game, I've dusted off my hover car and crash-landed into the ruins of an old British town. 

OverRider, developed by TensionMeow Studio is a wildly addictive brawler draped in a gorgeous cyberpunk aesthetic that even in Early Access, is impressive, if just a bit rough around the narrative edges. 

Xuan Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament is unfortunately a very poor experience, regardless of having the fundamentals of what should be a good game. From horrible presentation to constant mini-map glitches, there is almost nothing to like here

After wrapping credits on The Great Circle, I had to simply admire the dedication Machinegames had in crafting such an authentic Indiana Jones experience. I also thought about how challenging it must have been to achieve such a nearly flawless adaptation of its source material while also ensuring that this adventure felt entirely new.

Star Trek Legends has been freed from the Apple Arcade prison and offers a mobile-like experience to combine several different eras of the franchise. From Picard to Captain Kirk, Sisko, and Janeway, you’ll explore the mystery of the Nexus to unravel the deeper story within.

After several delays, as well as attempting to develop the game under the threat of war, Stalker 2 is finally here. While its launch was plagued with countless bugs, with many finally addressed, the overall package is a misfire, which is fitting given how often your guns can jam.

Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind may show its budget across the whole package, but it is certainly money well spent. There is a care and passion behind every pixel that is present across both the brawling stages and the arcade-like experiences of piloting the Zords.

Voidwrought is a slick-looking and wonderfully designed Metroidvania that feels incredibly great to play. With some challenging boss encounters and a wealth of secrets to explore, its only real downside is a lacking story that is simply not executed well.

While this collection does a respectful job of preserving the original two games, I do wish more work had been done to make the environments really stand out as much as the vastly improved character models do. Still, the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered Collection is a great attempt to improve these games, even if they never really played that well in the first place.
