Rote races, dull dialogue, and an empty world left me wondering why Wheel World's denizens love biking around it.

When Eriksholm finally lays out all of its stealth puzzle pieces on the board two-thirds through the game, the entire experience sings, inviting playful and smart experimentation. I just wish I had access to all of these pieces sooner.

Like a standout freshman bursting onto the scene, College Football 25 was a pleasant surprise, but College Football 26 aptly demonstrates it wasn’t just beginner’s luck, delivering an equally impressive sophomore effort.

This futuristic vibe and unrealistic speeds may not be for everyone, but I’m delighted to see this style of play still alive and kicking its way down the course.

While Iron Galaxy has excellently modernized the gameplay and graphics of these classics to feel right in 2025, I wish it had done a better job of highlighting the influence these games once had in their heyday.

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.

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.

Free roaming exploration needs some work, but racing with the crew remains first-class fun.

Overture is a victory lap, a reminder, and a worthwhile investment of time for anyone who enjoyed Neowiz’s first crack at this fairytale-inspired adventure.

Even though Nightreign's success comes with some significant caveats, it had me saying, “Just one more run,” over and over again, a marker of excellence in the genre.

This bite-sized adventure isn't flashy, but it captures a lot of what makes these characters so much fun.

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.

The realm of indie roguelikes is competitive and crowded, but despite years of tough competition, Monster Train 2 has strongly reasserted its series as one of the leaders of the pack.

With the Shield Saw and other great additions, id Software gives us something we didn’t know we wanted, proving once again that this legendary series can still evolve in ways we haven’t even dreamed of.

As the score soared in the final moments of my playthrough, of The Midnight Walk, I knew it was a journey I was glad to have taken.

The first game was a fun one-off experience, but its sequel is a far more complete and rewarding package that left me hungry for more savage planets to explore.

Bionic Bay is a brilliant twist on physics-focused puzzle/platforming, but be ready for a significant challenge.

I was eager to see the expedition's conclusion, but I did not want it to end.

Blue Prince harnesses the innate, burning curiosity one feels when seeing a closed door at the end of a hallway and crafts it into an unforgettable experience.

South of Midnight's decent combat and platforming are elevated to great heights by stellar visual and musical presentation, resulting in a game I can't stop smiling about.
