The Blood of Dawnwalker Review

Rebel Wolves' debut has the best-written open world since The Witcher 3 and the nerve to refuse you a happy ending, built around a thirty-day clock that genuinely changes how you approach an RPG map. It is also a first game, and it plays like one: targeting that never gets fixed, an enemy roster that runs dry, and a launch-week technical picture on PC that ranges from flawless to stuttering depending on whose rig you ask. Go in accepting you will not see everything, and it is one of the year's most memorable RPGs.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Review

The most atmospheric Hell Let Loose yet, and the least finished. The jungle setting, the helicopter-versus-tunnel asymmetry and the river boats are the smartest things this series has done - but a soft audio mix, locked-out servers, AMD crashes and a thin weapon pool make the first week hard to recommend at $39.99. In three months this could be definitive.

Review

Halo: Campaign Evolved

A genuinely strong, faithful Unreal Engine 5 rebuild of a genre-defining classic, undercut at launch by a rough PC release - the remake itself deserves better than the series-low score it's carrying.

Review

Gurei

A small, ferociously focused samurai boss-rush whose order-based difficulty system turns a familiar genre into something that plays differently every time - gorgeous, fair, and completely unapologetic about who it's for.

Review

Moss: The Forgotten Relic

A charming, great-value way to finally experience Quill's acclaimed adventure without a headset - even if a little of the VR magic is lost in translation.

Review

DOOM: The Dark Ages: Revelations

A massive, mechanically fresh expansion that recaptures DOOM Eternal's speed and makes an already great game even better - essential for anyone who owns The Dark Ages.

Review

Rhythm Heaven Groove Review

A joyous, wildly creative comeback that any Switch owner with a pulse should play - a fitting swan song for the console.

Review

Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains Review

A polished, genuinely fun Star Wars reinvention of Monopoly that comes alive with friends on the couch thanks to hero abilities and team play - but it cannot escape Monopoly's luck-driven pacing, and a thin solo mode plus a premium price keep it short of essential.

Review

Dead or Alive 6: Last Round Review

One of the best-feeling fighters around, presented more completely than ever - but it's a seven-year-old game resold with little new, and its monetization reputation has its own players seeing red. Brilliant to play, hard to recommend at full price. Try the free Core Fighters tier first.

Review

Star Fox Review

A gorgeous, joyously playable restoration of a 1997 classic - the best-reviewed Star Fox since the N64 original. Velan Studios nails the spectacle, controls and replay-friendly branching, but its devotion to the source means a short campaign and few surprises. A triumphant homecoming that plays it safe.

Review

Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition Review

Devil May Cry 5 remains the high-water mark for stylish action, and the Devil Hunter Edition is a rock-solid, locked-60fps way to play it anywhere - with Vergil included and a tempting launch price. It is not the definitive package, since a couple of Special Edition modes are missing, but as a portable version of one of the best action games ever made it more than earns its place in your Switch 2 library.

Review

EA Sports UFC 6 Review

EA Sports UFC 6 is the best the franchise has ever been. Flow State finally gives every fighter real identity and the stand-up game is a weighty, photoreal joy, even if an unevolved ground game and a stale career mode stop it short of a first-round knockout. A clear win on the cards.
