Code Vein 2 feels like the first post-Elden Ring Soulslike to try something of a similar scale, and has inventive combat moves - but it's made too many compromises to get there.

The developer of Overboard and Expelled delivers its darkest adventure yet.

A big-hearted battle to save the universe.

This sublimely silly auto-attacker makes fighting the armies of darkness a riot.

Death Howl is an awful bully, and I love it.

Sleep Awake has a great premise and certainly knows its creepy imagery, even if it doesn't all come together.

Some of Where Winds Meet's many minigames and stealth systems could use a polish, but it doesn't Suck-iro – this martial arts action-RPG is well worth your time.
