WWE 2K26 benefits most from having been built on a tremendous foundation – one that has barely had to change, but continues to in ways that are starting to hurt more than help.

It's not a flawless photograph, but Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is memorable, terrifying, and artistically stunning.

Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is an incredible evolution of an already great series, featuring a finely-tuned loop of hunting, hatching, restoring, and upgrading that perfectly, joyfully feeds into itself every step of the way.

Scott Pilgrim EX is the latest in a long line of retro revivals from Tribute Games, and like all of its previous works, the developer has done an admirable job of producing a beat ‘em up that builds on its predecessor while adding much appreciated gameplay depth and plenty of replayability.

Pokémon Pokopia is an enjoyable, personality-packed building simulator set in a surprisingly deep world that is stuffed with fun things for its delightful Ditto protagonist to do and create.

Like the result of an experiment conducted in an underground Umbrella Corporation lab, Resident Evil Requiem successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation.

Styx: Blades of Greed is a sequel that mostly delivers the same stealth gameplay as its predecessors, with all the good and the bad you might expect from that.

A pretty mediocre metroidvania, clearly taking the form and function of these games but failing to meet the high bar set by the titans of the genre.

Reanimal is a horror story, a journey through hell made up of the simple, elegant gameplay that Tarsier has honed to a feather's edge over the last decade.

High On Life 2 is a fun sequel that expands on the original’s best ideas, but an underwhelming story and even sloppier gunplay means it also takes a step backward in plenty of areas.
