Tekken 8 at $24 is the deepest 3D fighter going, despite a player base that scores it far below the critics.
Hornet's pogo-and-dash silk kit moves better than the original's, and 40 hours at $20 is absurd value — unless you bounce off punishing boss timing.
Corridor dread and bullet-hoarding done as well as Dead Space did it — worth the price if you can forgive boss fights that belong in a different game.
The best Ubisoft release in years — Lost Crown nails 2.5D metroidvania flow with Hollow-Knight comparisons, but Ubisoft canceled the sequel after sales disappointed.
Killer boss combat with Journey-to-the-West mythology — Wukong's lategame fights rival Orphan of Kos, but Chapter 2 onward demands real Sekiro-level patience.
Best-in-class single-player DLC if you finished base Elden Ring — Land of Shadow rivals a full game, and patch 1.14 tamed Consort Radahn's combos.
Finally fixed since launch — patches 1.5 through 1.8 restored A-Life and tamed the worst stutters that wrecked the November 2024 reception.
Supergiant's hardest swing in years — Hades II isn't a remix, it's a deeper, weirder game that still respects the original's perfect run-based loop.
A worthy successor that nails the fast, hard-hitting combat — but the 50-100-hit boss fights and near-unreactable one-shots make it a qualified buy.
Denshattack! finally fixed the gravity switch issue, making its Sonic meets Jet Set Radio trick-fest utterly unputdownable.
