Dreamcutter

Dreamcutter

Dreamcutter is an overly simple action platformer that certainly has its issues, but a surprisingly well-written story and some of its art result in a very adult and largely enjoyable experience.

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader

Warhammer 40: Rogue Trader can often be a great experience, complete with an approach to the CRPG genre that benefits the licence. However, a slew of technical issues and poorly implemented systems hold it back from being the game it truly should have been.

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank

Turnip Boy Robs a Bank

Turnip Boy is back! Where his previous outing was a fun take on the Zelda-like, the young turnip has returned with his own take on the Rogue-lite. Break in, steal some cash, and then invest in making each additional run faster, smoother, and deadly.

Lords of the Fallen (2023)

Lords of the Fallen (2023)

While Lords of the Fallen suffers from some severe technical issues, the game itself is one of the best Soulslikes out there. From being a great showcase for Unreal Engine 5, the real star of Lords of the Fallen is its stellar co-op system that is both easy to use and offers a wealth of freedom in its use.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown

While The Lost Crown is vastly enjoyable, often incredible at times, the execution of its story and characters rarely impress, making for a somewhat inconsistent adventure by the time the credits have rolled. 

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora takes the high-end visual fidelity of the James Cameron films and translates it beautifully into a massive open world rich with vibrant detail and life. As a Na’vi who has escaped captivity of the invading RDA forces, you must unite the clans to save Pandora.

Arizona Sunshine 2

Arizona Sunshine 2

With the inclusion of a dog to join you on your journey, Arizona Sunshine 2 has a pretty compelling story that keeps your interest. While manual reloading can certainly make firefights intense, several technical and control issues start to sour the experience in some disappointing ways.

Alan Wake II

Alan Wake II

Alan Wake 2 is a multifaceted masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of gaming. The stunning visuals, impeccable audio design, narrative delivery, and exceptional performances converge to create an unparalleled gaming experience.

Blasphemous 2

Blasphemous 2

Every slash of your weapon to the Prayer you’ll unleash feels great to use and allows your skill of its tools to drive your engagement. It may not impress with its narrative, but its gameplay is nonetheless the star of the show and shines brightly upon the Penitent One’s holy crusade.

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name

While its ending and resolution for Kiryu are its best components, little else allows The Man Who Erased His Name to feel like a memorable and worthwhile addition to the series. It’s certainly not the best Like a Dragon title, but it’s far from the worst. 

Gangs of Sherwood

Gangs of Sherwood

Gangs of Sherwood takes the classic characters of the Robin Hood tale and places them in a co-op character action game where you take the fight to the Sheriff of Nottingham, a man overflowing with the technological power of the Lionheart, a mystical object of power.

The Last Faith

The Last Faith

While The Last Faith certainly revels in that mix of both modern and nostalgic, it rarely finds its own unique voice alongside what is essentially a greatest hits of the genre.

Dredge & The Pale Reach

Dredge & The Pale Reach

With gorgeous visuals that match both the beauty and horror that can await you, Dredge is one adventure that is worth discovering, taking in its mystery, and always on the hunt for that one big catch, as long as you tend to it before it gets dark. 

RoboCop: Rogue City

RoboCop: Rogue City

RoboCop: Rogue City has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had all year. It certainly is a bit rough around the edges with its noticeably low budget, but that doesn't stop its action and spectacle from shining through, creating a game that honors its long-lasting legacy.

Teardown

Teardown

Teardown might sell itself off as a destruction simulator, but it’s a rather complex puzzle game built around performing the ultimate heist. With a complete voxel world to destroy or alter to your needs, you’ll need to use every tool at your disposal to get the job done.

Nickelodeon: All-Star Brawl 2

Nickelodeon: All-Star Brawl 2

While All-Star Brawl made good on certain elements of the Smash Bros. concept, it launched in a state that felt devoid of the personality of its roster, a game that was by all accounts bland, boring, and soulless.  That said, its sequel is anything but.

The Foglands

The Foglands

While both VR and non-VR modes, Foglands sadly brings nothing new to the table to warrant much attention. It has its moments, but they are sadly too few alongside one of the most repetitive games I’ve ever played. 

ACHILLES: LEGENDS UNTOLD

ACHILLES: LEGENDS UNTOLD

Achilles: Legends Untold is a Diablo-esque soulslike that is rather enjoyable but can feel a tad limited in its gameplay, despite a wide-ranging skill tree, plenty of weapons and skills, and a host of different foes that you will cleave in half or boot off cliffs.

Dreamworks All-Star Kart Racing

Dreamworks All-Star Kart Racing

Bamtang is back on the racing circuit with that of Dreamworks All-Star Kart Racing, a more trimmed-down kart racer than Slime Speedway and one that feels bland and soulless around every corner. 

My Time at Sandrock

My Time at Sandrock

My Time at Sandrock once again places you as head of your own shop. It is up to you and Mi-an, to satisfy the needs of the town and get to the bottom of the numerous issues plaguing this sand-locked settlement such as bandits, and a group of monstrous creatures that have Sandrock in their sights.
