7.0/10OrbitalsSwitch 2
Orbitals is an easy game to admire. Its retro-anime presentation, playful cassette-futurist world, warm co-op chemistry, and steady stream of new puzzle ideas give it a distinctive personality. Yet its late narrative rush, lightly demanding puzzles, and frustr
6.3/10The Sinking City 2PlayStation 5
The Sinking City 2 is a respectable survival-horror adventure with a superbly eerie setting and consistently enjoyable puzzle-solving. Its derivative combat, limited enemy variety, restrictive progression, and thin narrative prevent its considerable atmosphere
8.0/10Onimusha: Way of the SwordPC
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a challenging, complex, and highly satisfying action game whose exceptional combat outweighs an overreliance on repetitive rift arenas and some aging design choices.

6.8/10Madden NFL 27PlayStation 5
Madden NFL 27 is capable of producing the thrilling, unscripted football moments the series needs, thanks to responsive running, convincing animations, and welcome passing-game additions. Outside the lines, however, its ambitious mode updates remain undermined
5.0/10Wild Blue SkiesPlayStation 5
Wild Blue Skies recreates the broad shape of a beloved arcade space shooter with attractive visuals and occasional bursts of satisfying action, but its restrictive combat systems, uneven challenge, and generic world make it a disappointing homage rather than a
