Genre: Adventure
After so long, Silksong somehow feels both inevitable and unbelievable. Hornet moves like a dream, every dash and dive tight, every fight a dance that’s punishing but (mostly) fair. The world of Pharloom is staggering in scope: it just keeps expanding, full of new enemies, lavish art, secrets around every corner - all underscored by beautiful music and crisp sound design. Items and builds feel meaningful, not filler, and the variety on offer is impressive even for a game of this scale. It’s everything I hoped for: familiar yet transformed, reverent of its predecessor but confidently its own. After all the memes, the silkposts, the endless patience - Silksong was worth it. Anyone grumbling about difficulty, especially if their point of reference is Hunter’s March, might want to remember Hornet’s famous line from the first game. Loved it.
Wheel World is a stylish, vibe-first cycling adventure that feels a bit like Forza meets Sable, but definitely carves its own identity. Riding feels fantastic, the soundtrack is a jam, and - while I wouldn’t know - I imagine the bike culture jokes land with those so inclined. It’s not particularly challenging, and the second half drags a bit, but it’s addictively satisfying, and as a love letter to bikes mostly sticks the landing.
A cosy, clever puzzler with adorable art, quirky dialogue and just enough logic to feel satisfying. It’s short and can get repetitive, but, like Thomas Was Alone showed, personified shapes add immediate heart and charm. Hard to not like.
Time Flies is short, strange, and potentially unforgettable. You buzz through clever puzzles and silly bucket list goals, laughing one moment and reflecting the next. It’s over appropriately quickly, but every second is packed with charm and thoughtfulness.
Cult of the Lamb expands in early 2026 with the Woolhaven DLC. Near the endgame, players can uncover the frozen mountain of Woolhaven, rebuild its lost town, endure blizzards, battle the creeping Rot, and even raise animals through new ranching systems. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
Yooo! Sekiro: No Defeat is an anime based on the acclaimed FromSoft title. The series revisits the world of Shadows Die Twice and will be streaming soon exclusively on Crunchyroll. Fingers crossed!
Unashamedly Dark Souls 1-pilled, Wuchang brings back slow, stamina-tight combat, interconnected level design and more, while introducing its own novel ideas. Difficulty starts mild, then spikes pretty hard. Builds feel meaningful, from clash-happy dual blades to busted spellcasting. Really solid!
What can one even say about a game like this? In short: I loved it. I was at 201 hours (and 1.7M Likes) when the credits rolled, and every minute was soaked in serene Australia-inspired ambience, poignant atmosphere, engaging storytelling, the usual Kojima absurdity, and most importantly, an intensely satisfying gameplay loop. It might not hit quite as hard as its predecessor, perhaps just by virtue of no longer being completely novel, but it makes up for that in what it does differently. Death Stranding continues to be a rare experience that invites even the most cynical players into a quietly moving form of connection - where travelling alone becomes a shared and strangely emotional act of collaboration.
The Alters starts as a base sim adventure but quickly becomes something heavier. You don’t just optimise workflows, you mediate between fractured selves while a deadline creeps closer. It’s definitely more narratively driven than deep simulation sandbox - it’s sparse but sharp. Presented wonderfully, well-paced and worth your time.
