Marvel Cosmic Invasion: The Siege of Castle Doom DLC

Siege of Castle Doom brings a rogue-lite mix to the beat’em up title. And, with the inclusion of Sue Storm and Dr. Doom, it allows this expansion to also affect the main campaign. However, while the rogue-like elements don’t really shine, the game’s stability is at an all-time low.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion: The Siege of Castle Doom DLC

Warhammer Survivors

Warhammer Survivors could have benefited from some unique ideas and a bit more atmosphere to compliment its source material. It is still incredibly addictive and fun, but can lean into being a bit too colorful and friendly. Regardless, there are tons of characters here to unlock, weapons to discover, and with two Warhammer universes to conquer, you certainly get your money’s worth.

Eternal Palace Sakura

Eternal Palace Sakura feels like a bonus mode in the Senran Kagura games, but a far more shallow offering than what those games even offered. This roguelite has promise, but its far too much of a repetitive grind, when there is no story or reason to care for the task at hand.

Anomalith

About the most damning thing I can say about Anomalith is how despite combining two different genres into one experience that it doesn't succeed in conveying either one in any meaningful way. The extraction elements are watered down with the ease of dropping off items, and the lack of true horror elements makes this more action horror than survival horror.

Theos: Cities of Myth

Theos: City of Myths is an easy to pick up and play city builder that I had a great time with. This is one I would recommend to anyone looking to get into the genre with how simple and intuitive it really is. And if that person is you, why not try and see if you can build a Greek city that can stand up to both time and your God's wishes.

Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest

Warrior Cats: Clans of Forest is a very by-the-numbers experience that looks to bring the beloved books to life like never before. As a licensed game, it does the bare minimum to present the property in a pleasant manner and does ultimately succeed in adapting the source material. However, as a videogame detached from that, it's surprisingly basic and lacks polish in even the most basic things.

Enshrouded

Enshrouded has been a fantastic experience even solo despite crossplay not being active yet. Enshrouded takes a genre and builds it around an already solid RPG adventure, one with just enough intrigue to make me care about its world, and the tools needed to explore it to its fullest.

Moonlight Peaks

Beautiful settings, entertaining characters and situations, and smooth animations no matter what is happening. With us being in the midst of the spooky season and fast approaching Halloween, Moonlight Peaks is a great cozy time and feels right at home alongside many of the other slice of life titles.

Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy

Few survival horror games have really presented compelling stories, and often have their gameplay at the forefront of the experience. Remothered: Red Nun's Legacy is quite the opposite, and while its gameplay isn't revolutionary, the game is nonetheless compelling and disturbing, complete with moments that will make your skin crawl.

REKA

The tale of Baba Jaga has been told many times before, and while certain aspects always remain, Reka handles itself in a fairly unique way by having you work alongside her, as opposed to simply existing away from those stories and believing in those tall tales. With its storybook charm and cozy tone to its presentation, Reka is one magical experience that can cast quite the spell on you.

Fire and Ashes

Fire and Ashes is a fairly miserable experience, even despite the constant bombardment of technical issues. With a story that doesn't appear until the game's final moments, and the developer's use of Generative AI, Fire and Ashes is an experience I'll forget by the time this is published.

Valor Mortis

Valor Mortis feels like a promising first attempt at something different. One More Level has demonstrated that a first-person Soulslike can work, even if the execution isn't always as successful as the concept itself. With some additional polish and a little more variety, this could have been a genuinely excellent addition to the genre.

Planet Zoo 2

Ultimately, Planet Zoo 2 is a good sequel to what I already considered one of the best games in the genre, even if it doesn't quite improve upon everything I would have liked it to. The addition of aquatic animals, flying birds and the expanded conservation systems are all welcome, and the sheer level of creativity and depth on offer remains incredibly impressive.

Final Fantasy Resonance

Final Fantasy Resonance is a title that could very well reshape the series going forward, if enough people get behind it. The turn-based combat is fantastic, and while the Vision system could use a bit of a refresh, it celebrates the legacy of this storied franchise in remarkable ways.

Stupid Never Dies

Stupid Never Dies is a rogue-lite action brawler where you play as Davy, a zombie with a crush on a human popsicle by the name of Julia. As monsters attempt to take over the Earth, Davy and his allies need to act fast, eat enemies, and use their powers to stop a diabolical monster named KOM from taking over the world.

Frosthaven

Frosthaven is a turn-based game based on the boardgame. With epic cards in your arsenal, you’ll command a group of mercenaries to protect the town, build up its outpost, and stop evil at every chance.

NASCAR 26

NASCAR 26 may not be the definitive NASCAR experience just yet, but it proves that iRacing Studios is building toward something special. Its rewarding handling, smarter racing, and greater strategic depth capture the tension of stock-car competition better than any console NASCAR game in years.

Warhammer 40K: Boltgun II

Boltgun 2 doesn't have anything in the way of a compelling story, or even anything to define its aesthetically pleasing protagonists. However, smart quality of life choices and those lifted from later versions of the original Boltgun do make for a more directed and refined sequel.

Hellraiser: Revival

Hellraiser: Revival is a single-player first-person survival horror game that feels like a combination of Condemned: Criminal Origins, Silent Hill, PT, and Resident Evil; most notably its 7th and 8th entries, all mixed into one game. That's not to say it feels like an imitation of those games, or leans on them to do the heavy lifting, but it does set the expectations of what you're getting here.

Forever Ago

Forever Ago tells a deeply human story about grief, love and the memories we carry with us, without becoming overly sentimental or constantly reminding you what emotions you are supposed to feel. At a particularly stressful point in my own life, it gave me something unexpectedly comforting, and that is an experience I am unlikely to forget anytime soon.

Order of the Sinking Star

Order of the Sinking Star isn't completely perfect, with some puzzles starting to feel repetitive when you've spent too long working through the same mechanics. However, being able to freely jump between regions does an excellent job of reducing that frustration, while the constant evolution and combination of its mechanics keeps introducing new ways to think about problems you thought you already understood.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer

Ultimately, Star Wars: Galactic Racer surprised me. I expected an enjoyable Star Wars racing game, but what I got was something with far more depth, progression, and staying power than I anticipated.

Middle Earth: Shadow of War - Definitive Edition

While it is great fun to dominate enemy after enemy and begin your rise to power, there just isn't enough variety to keep the game from falling into a repetitive gameplay loop. While the removal of the store all those years ago certainly improved the outlook many had on the game, the removal of some of the game's best online systems feels like a bad call, especially given the community that was built around them.

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor - Game of the Year Edition

While the story was never something I was really invested with here, the free flowing combat and the Nemesis system carry this game to incredible heights. While I still believe that Shadow of War is the better game, at least with its online components, it's hard not to be impressed by this game all over again. And, with the portability of the Switch 2, you can now save Mordor on the go.

RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Dragonwilds is a slow and steady grind that while can be rewarding, still feels a bit rough around the edges, making me wonder if more time in Early Access could have refine certain parts of the whole experience. Still, if you've been itching for a survival game that isn't built around more realistic visuals, or you are fan of RuneScape, Dragonwilds does offer a compelling and fairly faithful conversion to the survival genre, just make sure you play with friends, and watch out for those blasted hunters.

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve

After not playing an Ace Combat game since Ace Combat 4, I went into Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve with no idea what to expect. What I found was a spectacular return to the series, with thrilling aerial combat, a surprisingly engaging story, stunning presentation, and rock-solid PC performance.

The Blood of Dawnwalker

From several of the minds behind The Witcher 3, comes The Blood of Dawnwalker, an action RPG set in a region under the control of a court of vampires. And, as Coen is transformed into one during an attack on his village, his revenge will only be complete once they are dead, and his family returned.

Graveyard Keeper 2

In life there is an inevitable and natural conclusion to all. In the story of Graveyard Keeper, and now Graveyard Keeper 2, however, the end of a life just might be the beginning of another. The dark and morbidly humorous tale of GK2 comes to us at the beginning of fall and just in time to welcome the fast approaching spooky season.

Blades and Battles

Throughout history, or at least via 12th Century French literature, it's hard to imagine Sir Lancelot dive kicking a humanoid lizard, or Arthur pulling off a juggle combo against floating skulls. Still, Blades and Battles relishes in that absurdity and leans into it through the rough hour it provides, I only wish it had more going on.
