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.

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.

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Review - Budokai Tenkaichi’s True Successor

Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is a hefty game, yet the clear omissions make it feel like a lesser product compared to a title from nearly two decades ago. And while that may disappoint a lot of players, what is present is a great action fighter that looks and more importantly feels awesome to play.
