“Very few games have mechanics that sing in such unison like Cairn, much less with such a unique voice. Whether you're a fan of the genre, an adventure junkie or seeking a challenge, make the climb.”

“Whether you're judging it on its own merits or comparing it to the very best on the market, Highguard has little to offer, and even less to keep you hooked.”

“Arknights: Endfield is unlike anything else in the market, even if the sweeping premise feels admittedly low-key due to the writing, and combat desperately needs more depth.”

“A solid game in its own right with a uniquely gorgeous aesthetic, MIO: Memories in Orbit is marked by bizarre design choices and a lack of variety to combat.”

“Defying all traditional game design conventions like its predecessors, Pathologic 3 offers a consistently compelling journey of morality in the face of death.”

“Terminator 2D: No Fate doesn't capture every single little detail from the classic film, and the controls certainly have their quirks. Nevertheless, it's a fun side-scroller with enough game modes to keep you coming back.”

“The Forsaken Hollows is pretty much a given for any fan of Nightreign, even if the lack of new weapons stuns the replay value.”

“You would think adapting Sung Jinwoo's rise to power would be easy, especially given its action-heavy focus, but Solo Leveling: Arise Overdrive will prove you terribly wrong.”

“Of Ash and Steel isn't trying to be a huge triple-A adventure, but while committing to its own vision of a Gothic-like RPG, it has plenty of its own problems to sort out first.”

“Initially full of potential, Heart Machine's latest eventually runs out of gas when it's not stumbling off some awkward combat issues.”

“A product of its time, revamped for the present, Syberia Remastered offers a sleeker look at the start of Kate Walker's adventures but loses a bit of the original's magic in the process.”

“Far from reinventing the wheel, RedSec slots neatly into Battlefield 6 as a competent battle royale mode. While the future could splinter into some question directions, it's a strong start.”

“A dull reboot of a legendary franchise, Double Dragon Revive mixes tedium with wonky movement, boring stages and annoying bosses for an ultimately unfulfilling experience.”

“The Wild West setting, intriguing lore and mech combat feel promising at first, but Bounty Star wastes them with a repetitive gameplay loop and dull story.”

“As the "definitive" version of its 2017 platformer, Yooka-Replaylee balances smooth controls and stunning visuals with annoying humor, haphazard levels, and underwhelming challenge.”

“Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter is a great remake, but it's truly elevated by almost perfectly channeling the original's charm.”

“Metal Eden's fast-paced gameplay loop and harrowing sci-fi setting serve as a solid backdrop for arena combat, but be prepared for a whole lot of talking.”

“Between Dead Cells and other rogue-lites, The Rogue Prince of Persia may not hold hardcore fans over in the very long run. Nevertheless, its premise is incredibly solid, backed by strong gameplay that channels the essence of Prince of Persia in all the right ways.”

“Herdling continues Okamotive's reputation for unorthodox titles that resonate in unique ways. Desolate and survival-driven, yet warm and freeing, it's an adventure unlike any other despite the occasional hiccups.”

“Sword of the Sea is like a siren - beautiful, inviting and great to listen to. Despite cutting through with an impeccable sense of style, the lack of a cohesive narrative and short runtime feels like you're treading water.”
