NBA 2K27 keeps moving in the right direction without trying to reinvent the wheel. Instead, it focuses on polishing the core gameplay, from defensive physical contact to ProPLAY animations and player controls. When it comes to real-world fidelity, it gets pretty damn close, which is ultimately all that matters for a sports sim.

Anchored by clever puzzles, atmospheric dread, and a solid mix of stealth and action, Silent Hill: Townfall initially feels poised to deliver a survival horror classic. However, it's ultimately held back by shallow characters, a predictable story, and forgettable enemies, settling instead for a fun, if uninspired, spin-off.

Remedy once again expands its interconnected universe with Control Resonant, sparing no expense in the process. The game stands out as a brilliantly written, remarkably bold action-adventure that pushes the studio’s signature storytelling and kinetic gameplay to new heights. By refining what made the original so compelling while introducing ambitious new mechanics, it marks a massive leap forward for the franchise. Ultimately, Control Resonant delivers a thrilling experience while signaling a bright, highly promising future for Remedy Entertainment.

Marvel’s Wolverine is an enjoyable title and a solid pick for die-hard fans, but that’s about as far as it goes. While there is nothing glaringly wrong with Insomniac’s latest effort, it falls well short of the standards set by a studio of this caliber. Ultimately, it’s average in every respect, and given the immense talent and budget behind it, average simply isn't enough.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault builds on its predecessor’s foundation by drastically upgrading its combat, roguelike mechanics, and shop management systems. This laser focus on gameplay means you won’t find a deep, story-driven RPG here, but the result is a deeply satisfying experience for anyone who loves looting dungeons by day and running a shop by night.

Despite a light content line-up, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is worth purchasing for one reason alone: Metal Gear Solid 4 is no longer trapped on the PlayStation 3.

Amid a sea of mediocre Soulslikes, Onimusha: Way of the Sword arrives as a much-needed breath of fresh air. Capcom has delivered a top-tier action title with remarkable depth and variety, keeping you fully engaged from start to finish. While a few minor flaws exist, they do little to dull the game's overall excellence. It is a triumphant comeback for the series, positioning Onimusha to reclaim its spot as a dominant force in the action genre.

The Blood of Dawnwalker bears all the hallmarks of a project crafted by brilliance, particularly through its top-tier storytelling and tight combat mechanics. Yet while its core identity as an Action RPG is rock-solid, the surrounding package lacks the high-end production polish needed to elevate it further. It’s an undeniable achievement, but one constantly shadowed by the obvious strain of a limited budget and workforce.

By pivoting away from the gameplay that defined its predecessors, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy takes a significant gamble. The end product is an uneven experience that doesn't always hit its mark, yet the effort is far from a misstep. If anything, this new direction demonstrates that the universe has rich, untapped potential capable of thriving well beyond the tragic journey of Amicia and Hugo.

By leaning heavily into more of the same, Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters ensures diehard fans of the manga will get exactly what they came for. Yet that hyper-focus comes at a cost. The game makes few concessions for new players, offering little in the way of fresh mechanics or accessible entry points to help a broader audience connect with it.
