Romeo is a Dead Man
Game Informer
8.25/10
83
I wanted more from the love story, but I was eager to make Romeo stronger and learn more about the colorful cast of characters.
Terminator 2D: No Fate
Game Informer
7.75/10
78
No Fate is a strong retro adaptation of a beloved film, but it is not without some design annoyances that we’ve moved beyond.
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Game Informer
8.75/10
88
The wait for a new Metroid Prime has been long, but it only takes a few minutes in Beyond to remember why we have been so eager to re-enter this universe for the past 18 years.
Marvel`s Deadpool VR
Game Informer
7.75/10
78
Both the dialogue and gameplay sometimes grated on me, but there are a number of impressive moments and the occasional strong joke that surprised me and made me laugh.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
7.75/10
78
Age of Imprisonment offers myriad improvements across the board mechanically and visually, but my favorite element is that it treats Tears of the Kingdom’s story with respect.
Lumines Arise

It’s All Connected on the Game Informer website.
Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted
8/10

A Nostalgic Garden Stroll on the Game Informer website.
Ghost of Yotei
Game Informer
9.25/10

Ghost of Yōtei impresses.
Cronos: The New Dawn
Game Informer
7.75/10
78
If you’re in the mood for something that recalls games like Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space, Cronos might hit the spot. But it’s not without its pain points.
Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
9/10
90
Metal Gear Solid 3 didn’t necessarily need a remake, but now that it’s here, I’m not sure I will ever be able to go back to the original versions.
Drag x Drive
Game Informer
6.75/10
68
I will always appreciate Drag x Drive for being unlike anything else and working better than I expected, but there just isn't much to it.
Sword of the Sea
Game Informer
8.5/10
85
Sword of the Sea moves at the pace of a magical swordsperson speeding across sand dunes on a floating blade at 170 miles per hour, and it never gives you a reason to look away.
Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
7/10
70
It’s not a game I see myself booting up on my own, but as a means to get a party going with players of all skill levels, I am glad I have it on the metaphorical shelf.
Donkey Kong Bananza
Game Informer
9/10
90
Donkey Kong and Pauline’s adventure is a showpiece for Nintendo’s new console, and it meets the incredibly high standard the developer has been setting for itself since the ’80s.
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach
8.75/10
88
Death Stranding 2 is a game with faults and annoyances, but it also makes big, expensive swings and is trying to establish its own unique genre, often successfully.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
6/10
60
A lot of thoughtful work went into Welcome Tour to make me understand and acknowledge its $10 price tag, but it’s just not a tour I would recommend taking.
Blades of Fire
Game Informer
5.5/10
55
Some of Blades of Fire's ideas around combat and its world are exciting. They just couldn’t overcome the parts that made me want to give up on the game.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
9/10
90
I was eager to see the expedition's conclusion, but I did not want it to end.
Silent Hill 2
Game Informer
8.75/10
88
Despite the difficult revelations Silent Hill 2 unveils along the way and how uncomfortable the experience made me (by design) I was eager to immediately start the journey again after seeing the credits.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
8.75/10
88
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is a fantastic reminder that the franchise that began on the Super Nintendo in 1994 is a real competitor for Nintendo’s best 2D platforming series, an extremely competitive landscape.
