Cronos: The New Dawn review - great atmosphere that is rough around the edges

Although Cronos: The New Dawn doesn't revolutionize the genre, fans of survival horror games set in unique settings will be satisfied. A dense atmosphere, a mysterious plot, and a solid dose of anxiety define this new game from Bloober Team.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater: Faithful to a fault

For better or worse, Metal Gear Solid Delta shines as a preservation of a classic but rarely feels like a bold reimagining.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Hinokami Chronicles 2 review: More of the same

Though not without its faults, Hinokami Chronicles 2 is a visually stunning and faithful follow-up that builds on the original with more characters, polished storytelling, and just enough style to keep Demon Slayer fans hooked.

Mycopunk Early Access review: This is how you do a co-op shooter

An indie co-op PvE shooter might not be something you expect to enjoy, but Mycopunk will surprise you. The characters and missions are fun and creative, but the base gameplay carries it all.
