Dynasty Warriors Origins

Dynasty Warriors Origins

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

Star Wars Episode One: Jedi Power Battles

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

DreadOut Remastered Collection

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

Hollowbody

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

OverRider

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

Xuan Yuan Sword: The Gate of Firmament

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

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

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

Star Trek Legends

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.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl

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.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind

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

Voidwrought

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.

Microsoft Flight Sim 2024

Microsoft Flight Sim 2024

Microsoft Flight Sim 2024 is a great game, that should be better than its predecessor if not for the technical hurdles it places onto the player.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered

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.

Breath of Death VII: The Beginning - Reanimated

Breath of Death VII: The Beginning - Reanimated

With completely remade visuals and numerous tweaks based on feedback of the original, Shadow Layer Games has certainly did the original a ton of justice as the 16-bit inspired visuals are outstanding, with the same engaging combat and humor that made the original so treasured.

Find Love or Die Trying

Find Love or Die Trying

Find Love or Die Trying is your typical visual novel with not much here to add to the genre. Despite that, an interesting bunch of characters and twist on the dating reality show aesthetic is a nice touch with good humor, decent writing, and impressive art.

Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd

Dragon Age: The Veilgaurd

As two Elven Gods have returned, the fate of Thedas relies on Rook, an unlikely hero who will gather their allies in order to save the lands from the poison that is the blight and have to rely on help from the Dreadwolf himself, Solas.

Threshold

Threshold

Threshold is the latest psychological horror title from publisher, CRITICAL REFLEX. As you start your first day on the job at the Border Post, you’ll start to explore and work alongside Mo, your co-worker. While your job is merely needing to keep the train going, you start to realize there is far more going on.

Rage of the Dragons NEO

Rage of the Dragons NEO

With heavily details stages, slick animations, and a host of intentionally familiar characters, Rage of Dragons became a bit of a cult hit, especially as it originally started out as a new entry in the Double Dragon series. 

Slitterhead

Slitterhead

Slitterhead has you ghost jumping from body to body as you attempt to kill a city’s worth of grotesque monsters in the process. While combat can function well enough, and the story does get somewhat interesting, a time travel gimmick brings alongside a lot of repeated mission design that really drags the whole experience down.

Awaken: Astral Blade

Awaken: Astral Blade

Awaken: Astral Blade has you hack and slashing through countless abominations as Tania, a Bionic female warrior tasked with a mission. However, as she digs deeper into its mystery, she finds answers that will change her forever.
