Returnal first launched as a PlayStation 5 exclusive back in 2021 and was easily a 9/10 game that’s highly recommended to those that love the challenge a rogue-like title provides. The story is mind-numbing and just keeps going off the rails as you progress through the game, leaving you with more questions the deeper you’re in.

After release, Returnal was updated with free content such as the Tower of Sisyphus, which gives new challenges and more context in Selene’s journey, plus a co-op mode that allows players to go through the game with a friend.

Indiana Jones and The Great Circle Review - A Faithful Adventure With Flawed Execution

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has the potential to be a favorite for fans of the franchise, delivering an authentic Indiana Jones experience with its story and cinematic presentation. While the game shines in its exploration and puzzle elements, the combat and stealth mechanics’ lack of gameplay variety holds it back.

This will be music to the ears of kids who grew up on the series, but for the uninitiated, there’s nothing quite like the Mario & Luigi games. Mario & Luigi Brothership does its best to appeal to a wide range of players with charming presentation and a strong new Battle Plug system, but not everyone will be enamored with its reflex-testing gameplay.

Life is Strange: Double Exposure Review - A Nostalgic Return That Falls Flat

Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
