Latest: Cat Mail Co.

Gamer Social ClubJul 11, 2026Score 65

“Cat Mail Co., while being entertaining for a few hours of gameplay, definitely lost its luster the more hours I sunk into it. Could this have been due to poor initial planning and organization at the early phases of the game? Maybe. But that being said, the further along you get, the harder it becomes to do any kind of overhaul of your organizational processes. Unless you enjoy throwing all the packages into one corner of the warehouse and starting from scratch. If organization and low-risk gameplay is your jam, however, then Cat Mail Co. will be right up your alley!”

“EA Sports College Football 27 has the best gameplay hands down. I was so excited during the reveal and the announcement of all the new features. Finally getting hands on and experiencing the new features really made my day. While some things still need work, like we need something better than this current version of ‘‘Mascot Mashup”. I still feel like love was lacking from this year’s iteration and there are so many other ways to make it better.”

“Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a visually stunning but structurally uneven remake — every improvement it makes seems to introduce a new friction, resulting in a solid pirate adventure that never quite dethrones the original it's remaking.”

“Ascend to Zero brings some of my favorite elements to the roguelite genre. Its late-game focus on gear sets adds one last unique element to a fun, great-sounding, surprisingly deep Survivors-like.”

Latest: Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok

NookGamingJul 10, 2026Score 80

“Granblue Fantasy: Relink - Endless Ragnarok is a rather excellent game as a whole package as long as you’re looking for gameplay over story in your JRPG. That said, the Endless Ragnarok content is only really exciting to heavily invested players, who really want to farm the endgame. The new roguelite mode is certainly a standout feature, but you will need to grind those quests for quite a while before unlocking it in full.”

UagnaJul 10, 2026Score 90

“DOOM: The Dark Ages – Rivelazioni is an exceptional expansion that enhances and transforms an already rock-solid combat system. The Chain Spear stands out as one of the modern series' most successful additions. The return of the dash, increased verticality, and the ability to switch between spear and shield bring the gameplay closer to the mobility of DOOM Eternal without sacrificing the weighty feel of The Dark Ages. While the story remains predictable and the controls require an adjustment period, these are minor flaws when weighed against the quality and volume of content on offer. At a time marked by uncertainty regarding id Software's future, Rivelazioni once again demonstrates the studio's technical and creative prowess. It represents a near-perfect blend of the brutality found in The Dark Ages and the speed of DOOM Eternal.”

INVENJul 10, 2026Score 80Pre-release Review

“An action roguelike where you stop, earn, and master time itself. Combat that lets you defeat bosses with 0.1 seconds remaining, a design where frustration and progression interlock with narrative, and the thrill of explosive growth stand out. Sluggish early-game pacing and late-game repetition are drawbacks, but this striking new title reveals its own distinct identity.”

“DOOM: The Dark Ages | Revelations will put you to the test. And the main character, too. But it's a brutal action-packed ride that you'll really enjoy. It's an excellent expansion. Its difficulty and structure'which involves backtracking'might not be for everyone, but it's excellent.”

“Echoes of Aincrad is a well-realised RPG about the people behind the avatars. While repetitive exploration and awkward world design hold it back, its excellent characters, satisfying combat, and genuine love for MMORPG culture make it the strongest Sword Art Online game yet,and an enjoyable action RPG even for people who don't care for the anime.”

“DOOM: The Dark Ages – Revelations is exactly what a great expansion should be. It doesn’t reinvent the foundation established by the base game. Instead, it strengthens it, expands it and quietly fixes one of its biggest shortcomings by restoring the glorious speed that made DOOM Eternal so addictive in the first place.”

JetsonPlaysGamesJul 9, 2026Score 50

“I must admit I am a bit perplexed by the lack of excitement in Hyperwired. Twin-stick shooters can so rarely be considered boring, but this one manages to land with a dull thud. Without meaningful threats or interesting upgrade paths, the game just thoughtlessly advances, each room feeling just like the last. The plug mechanic, which should have been its saving grace, ultimately acts as the anchor weighing it down.”
