Silent Hill: Townfall delivers strong atmosphere, excellent sound design, clever survival mechanics, and a mystery that keeps you wanting to uncover more of St. Amelia. Some frustrating puzzles and technical issues keep it from reaching the next level, but it remains a compelling and rewarding horror experience overall.

Control Resonant expands Remedy's surreal world with a fascinating new setting, compelling story, and stunning art direction, but repetitive combat and enemy encounters hold it back from reaching loftier heights than its predecessor.

EA delivers another solid spectacle of the beautiful game, with gameplay that aims for and hits the top-corner.

Marvel's Wolverine delivers brutal combat and a stellar lead performance by Liam McIntyre, but stumbles with a safe, cliché-ridden narrative and repetitive gameplay. While it captures Logan's feral nature wonderfully, the overall experience struggles to justify its full price tag and is best picked up on sale.

I really enjoy Madden 27. I love the on-field gameplay; I like the depth of Franchise Mode, and the Persona Engine gives all 53 players a personality; I have fun in Superstar mode when I don’t take it too seriously and try to create my own personal story around what’s playing out in the game. The bread-and-butter modes have their hits and misses, but it’s hard for me to deny the fact that Madden 27 is a good football game in 2026.

Halloween: The Game falls short in the fear factor, with a distinct lack of balance between killer and survivors leaving the Illfonic title behind its competititors in the asymmetric horror genre.

The Blood of Dawnwalker could be the best debut IP from a new studio in years, representing a brutal, diverse adventure in a stunning open world. However, it misses a mark because of some technical issues and gameplay-focused concerns that, if addressed, could push the game into 'masterpiece' territory.

STALKER 2's Cost of Hope expansion represents the next generation of a beloved franchise, but this time, it sets the stage for the most major evolution we've ever seen. It's a haunting, emotional, and twisting expansion that might not be perfect, but comes damn close.

Duskfade is an impressive indie platformer that pays homage to the genre's classics with precise controls, varied mechanics, and a surprisingly mature narrative. Despite these strengths, the experience is hindered by combat that lacks more weapon types and the tedious backtracking that will frustrate anyone aiming to collect every item.

Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is an excellent tag fighter that strikes a fantastic balance between accessibility and depth. Its 4v4 system is surprisingly approachable thanks to its emphasis on assists, while a diverse roster, excellent tutorials and plenty of unlockable rewards provide plenty of incentive to keep playing. Add in gorgeous comic-book visuals, a superb soundtrack and smooth online performance, and Arc System Works has delivered one of the strongest Marvel fighting games to date.
