Off the back of 2017’s Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap and 2020’s Streets of Rage 4, developer Lizardcube had already proven itself to be a safe pair of hands when it comes to resurrecting classic Sega series’, and Shinobi: Art of Vengeance has only further cemented its reputation as a studio…

While much of what I loved about Snake Eater is attached to the time and place of a boundary-pushing PS2 game in 2004, revisiting it through Metal Gear Solid Delta in 2025 came with a big burst of modernized nostalgia.

OFF is an important relic of the old RPG Maker scene, a pioneer in the realm of independent, small-scale RPGs that innovated in its own right.

When EA showed off what Madden NFL 26 would be this year, I wasn’t sure I believed it. Not because I didn’t want to, or because I thought I was being lied to.

Drag x Drive controls like nothing else I’ve ever played, and it asks a lot of you in order to get used to its complicated mouse and motion mechanics.

Mafia: The Old Country is an effective return to the linear and tightly story-driven format of the original Mafia and Mafia II.

As a competitive RTS, Stormgate is what's next. Or at least, I hope it is.

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a good arena fighter, and a noted improvement over its predecessor, but it’s not a sea change.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is a game I’m going to be replaying for a long time. It looks and sounds incredible, and the fast but thoughtful combat is so damn satisfying that I had a hard time putting it down long enough to write this review.

Wildgate’s tense 20-player matches make for some really impressive chaos as I happily worked with my friends to either dominate the competition or (more often than not) valiantly go down with our ship.
