Tribute has become skilled at creating visually nostalgic beat ‘em ups, and its return to the Scott Pilgrim franchise is no exception. It is, however, light on surprises or mechanical innovation.
Despite minor complaints, Pokémon Pokopia sticks out as one of the best examples of a third-party developer using the Pokémon license to the fullest extent possible.
A masterclass in refinement and a tour de force of gameplay, Requiem is Resident Evil at its finest.
Controlling Kratos, fighting, and exploring just isn’t particularly fun on a basic level. A just below perfunctory genre experience alongside characters and in a setting I admit I like spending time with.
Nintendo may not know what to do with the Star Fox franchise, but Fur Squadron Phoenix makes a great case that the genre can still flourish in 2026.
Despite Mewgenics' best attempts to kill my appetite, dozens and dozens of hours in, I'm still hungry for another run.
A Spine-Tingling Dive on the Game Informer website.
Nioh 3
9/10
90
Nioh 3's consistently rewarding approach to open-world design, combined with its entertaining Ninja gameplay style, cements it as the best entry in the franchise.
High on Life 2 is the kind of game that you can put on, laugh at for a while, and forget what's troubling you, even though reminders might slip in through the pointed social commentary.
Reanimal
8.25/10
83
Reanimal is a simple game with a challenging subject matter, and neither great as a shared experience nor fun. But, it is thought-provoking and stimulating, and if you can stomach it, Tarsier Studios has created something worth wrestling with.
I wanted more from the love story, but I was eager to make Romeo stronger and learn more about the colorful cast of characters.
Mario Tennis Fever is hardly a revolutionary entry, but it nails the series' most important element by offering a well-rounded experience with myriad ways for players of all skill levels to enjoy the game of tennis.
Highguard
7.5/10
75
It takes a while to wrap one's head around the flow of play, but Highguard's raid mode is a lot of fun, even while some other aspects of the game need to be further fleshed out.
Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties doesn’t raise the bar in any way, but newcomers and returning fans will find it a thrill ride from start to epic finish.
The vehicular combat genre may feel like a relic from a bygone era, but Carmageddon: Rogue Shift proves it still has some gas left in the tank.
Even if the challenge isn’t always there, those who’ve set sail on this adventure before will find plenty to love in this latest expedition.
Cairn
9.25/10
93
Cairn is more than a remarkably gripping mountain-climbing game. It's also a deeply affecting narrative of anguish, loss, and the steep cost of obsession.
Remove Code Vein II's inspirations, and what remains is an unremarkable and forgettable experience.
Taking cues from the likes of Hollow Knight and Ori, this punishing platforming and exploration game is well worth your time if you're up for a big challenge.
Death Howl
8.75/10
88
Death Howl is a cohesive and well-crafted fusion of deckbuilders and Soulslikes.
