Terry's Terraforming ReviewMeta Quest 3
Terry's Terraforming brings an inventive planet-shaping job to Quest 3, but its restrictive objectives take some of the fun out of experimenting.
Well Dweller ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Well Dweller is one of the year's best metroidvanias, with gorgeous fairy-tale art, excellent movement, fun combat, and wonderfully paced exploration.
The Magician VR: The Cursed Wand ReviewMeta Quest 3
The Magician VR delivers satisfying wand magic on Quest 3, but strict gesture recognition and repetitive wave combat limit its spellcasting fantasy.
Flipping is Hard ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Flipping is Hard turns a phone's awkward rotations into maddening platforming, with funny customization and co-op making the repeated falls easier to enjoy.
Stupid Never Dies ReviewPS5
Stupid Never Dies pairs fantastic punk art and a hilarious cast with fun monster transformations, though sluggish combat and loose targeting hold it back.
Moonfrost ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Moonfrost pairs familiar farming with gorgeous pixel art and a surprisingly deep building system, though four-direction controller inputs could feel smoother.
Odd Town ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Odd Town has a wonderfully strange visual identity and some entertaining ideas, but difficult onboarding, punishing police encounters, and awkward controller support limit its appeal.
Pixel Washer ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Pixel Washer has a cute lead and an appealing premise, but drawn-out cleaning, slow progression, and awkward handheld aiming keep it from finding its rhythm.
Shil ReviewMeta Quest 3
Shil turns two colors into a wonderfully strange VR puzzle adventure, packed with inventive levels, deceptive perspectives and seven endings worth chasing.
Truckful ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Truckful pairs wonderful driving and a creepy small-town mystery with gorgeous scenery, but restrictive equipment slots and progress-losing physics problems sour the journey.
Gears of War: E-Day ReviewXbox Series X
Gears of War: E-Day delivers astonishing presentation and a devastating look at Emergence Day, though its familiar, drawn-out firefights wore me down.
ROLLA ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
ROLLA has a gloriously messy premise and good-looking destruction, but relentless attacks and repetitive runs make it hard to enjoy for long.
Silver Pines ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Silver Pines blends survival horror, interconnected exploration, and a wonderfully strange mystery into one of the year's best games.
VMX ReviewMeta Quest 3
VMX makes BMX, mountain biking and scooter tricks feel surprisingly natural in VR, though its wild motion can upset even experienced players.
Tiny Flock ReviewMeta Quest 3
Tiny Flock is a charming, inventive VR puzzler with gorgeous dioramas and adorable sheep, though its 21 levels leave me wanting more.
RetroSpace ReviewPS5
RetroSpace is a funny, creepy space station immersive sim with memorable exploration and clever tools, held back on PS5 by uneven performance and bugs.
Control Resonant ReviewPS5
Control Resonant is Remedy at their absolute finest, taking Dylan Faden through an impossible, gravity-bending New York with phenomenal, crunchy melee combat.
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival ReviewPS5
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival starts as a striking pixel-art brawler, but relentless gunmen, wonky hitboxes, and no co-op wear down its appeal.
Roboquest VR ReviewMeta Quest 3
Roboquest VR brings blistering movement and varied builds to Meta Quest 3. Its roguelite shooting works in VR despite a few interaction quirks.
Blackwood ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Blackwood nails flashy gun-fu and takedowns, but retail chores, erratic camera angles, and thin Act 1 content undercut this early PC release.
Blades & Battles ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Blades & Battles delivers a functional Golden Axe-inspired beat 'em up, but shallow heroes, awkward hit detection, and no progression make it forgettable.
Glitch Protocol ReviewPC (ROG Xbox Ally X)
Glitch Protocol looks tiny and harmless, then spends 200 handcrafted rooms doing everything it can to kill you. It worked on me completely.
The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodline ReviewPS5
The Alighieri Circle: Dante's Bloodline looks striking inside its cathedral, but a thin story, puzzling structure, and uneven voice acting hold it back.
