Resident Evil: Requiem - Review | Progress Bar Resident Evil: Requiem successfully introduces compelling characters, concepts, and monsters to one of gaming's most beloved series.

#ResidentEvilRequiem is as spooky and silly as any game in the series, but it doesn't quite stick the landing. Our review:

Too Many Games - March 2026 Edition | Progress Bar Sometimes there are simply too many games. To address this truly insane quarter of releases, I thought I'd try something a little different.

Sometimes there are simply too many games. Check out this rundown to determine your immediate future: will you be a mermaid-corpse investigator, Baby Kratos or a first-time Dad?

REANIMAL - Review | Progress Bar REANIMAL is haunting, disturbing, emotional, and beautiful, and a wonderful spiritual successor to the Little Nightmares series.

REANIMAL carries forward the Little Nightmares legacy with confidence. Darcy's review:

Lovish - Review | Progress Bar Lovish has a solid identity and structural premise, which sadly does not work when stretched out over a whole game.

Lots of fun ideas that fall away in the constant struggle against arbitrary challenge. Our review of #Lovish:

TR-49 - Review | Progress Bar TR-49 is packed full of satisfying revelations and a surprising amount of emotion for a largely text-based game.

Heads up to those who like #HerStory, #IMMORTALITY, or #ReturnoftheObraDinn.

MIO: Memories in Orbit - Review | Progress Bar MIO: Memories in Orbit is a Metroidvania with beautiful art and a captivating narrative, but some design choices bring the experience down.

There’s a fantastic Metroidvania here, but some design choices bring the experience down. @dmax3901.bsky.social's review:

Dragon Quest I & II, & III HD-2D Remakes - Review | Progress Bar Three sprawling adventures across magical worlds full of quaint towns, perilous dungeons and treacherous seas.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond - Review | Progress Bar Metroid Prime 4: Beyond utterly fails to innovate enough to be called a true successor to the original trilogy.

If nothing else, #MetroidPrime4 has shown us the series is beyond ready for its Breath of the Wild moment. Darcy's review:

The Outer Worlds 2 - Review | Progress Bar The Outer Worlds 2 is a bold step in the right direction and a title well worth checking out if you're a fan of Obsidian's work.

How does @obsidian.net's #TheOuterWorlds2 fare? Our review:

Ball X Pit - Review | Progress Bar Ball X Pit is flashy, tactile, moody and absurdly addictive. Fans of Vampire Survivors need to check this one out!

Fuse your balls!

(in a good way!)

Donkey Kong Bananza - Review | Progress Bar Donkey Kong Bananza for the Switch 2 well and truly heralds the triumphant return of Nintendo's goofy gorilla mascot.

Donkey Kong's time has come again! #Nintendo #DonkeyKongBananza #Switch2

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach - Review | Progress Bar Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a wonderful sequel that improves on the first game, while levelling out Kojima's self-indulgences

A weird and wonderful sequel. @dmax3901.bsky.social 's review of #DeathStranding2OntheBeach

Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour - Review | Progress Bar Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is novel, engaging and sporadically fun, but at $15 AUD it's a hard title to recommend.

A bit of an odd one. #NintendoSwitch2WelcomeTour is interesting on paper, but at $15 it's a tough sell.

DOOM: The Dark Ages - Review | Progress Bar DOOM: The Dark Ages is ultimately another bombastic, relentless and just plain fun shooter, and a bold sidestep for ID Software.

#DOOMTheDarkAges is a bold side step for ID Software. It ultimately succeeds in reinventing the classic DOOM formula yet again, in what is undoubtedly another bombastic, relentless and just plain fun shooter.

South of Midnight - Review | Progress Bar South of Midnight overflows with a strong sense of identity and place, but is let down by how mediocre everything else is.

The vibes in #SouthofMidnight are off the charts, but can the gameplay keep up? @compulsiongames.bsky.social @xboxanz.bsky.social

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Review | Progress Bar Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an impressive debut, offering a bizarre world, banging soundtrack, and a fresh take on turn-based combat.

#ClairObscurExpedition33 has the potential to be the next sleeper hit of 2025. So does this French take on Final Fantasy hit the mark?

Blue Prince - Review | Progress Bar Blue Prince is an interactive, labyrinthine puzzle box to end all puzzle boxes, and a masterpiece, by every definition of the word.

#BluePrince is not only the best puzzle game in years, it's possibly the best puzzle game ever made. @dogubomb.bsky.social

Assassin's Creed: Shadows - Review | Progress Bar Assassin's Creed: Shadows does its best to feel different while adhering to the perhaps now overly familiar blueprint of the series.

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows does its best to feel different, but it ultimately remains an iterative experience. Darcy's Review:

#Ubisoft #Yasuke #Naoe #Assassin'sCreedShadows @ubisoftanz.bsky.social

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Preview | Progress Bar This was an impressive showing for Sandfall Interactive's debut title, and definitely makes it one to watch when it releases this April.

#ClairObscurExpedition33 is shaping up to be one hell of a debut from Sandfall Interactive, keen to check out the final product.

Avowed - Review | Progress Bar Avowed presents a unique, cohesive world with gorgeous vistas, impactful choices and weighty first-person combat.

Darcy checks out #Avowed from Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind Fallout: New Vegas, Pillars of Eternity, The Outer Worlds, and more.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II - Review | Progress Bar Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is one of the most detailed, beautiful and deep medieval RPGs ever. But is it any fun?

Warhorse Studios has clearly set out to create the most detailed and immersive medieval RPG ever, and I think perhaps they have. But is it any fun? #KingdomCome:DeliveranceII

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector | Progress Bar Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector features a standalone story and builds on its predecessor in subtle, but deeply impactful ways.

Citizen Sleeper 2 is ultimately a game about hope. About community, and how together we have the power to bring about change, even while the wider world screams and rages in the distance. Our review:

Metaphor: ReFantazio - Review | Progress Bar Metaphor: ReFantazio is a triumphant evolution, and an absolutely unmissable RPG in a year already chock-full of unmissable RPGs.

#MetaphorReFantazio is an absolutely unmissable RPG in a year already chock-full of unmissable RPGs.

The Plucky Squire - Review | Progress Bar Whether you're after classic hack 'n slash gameplay or the vibes of a Saturday morning cartoon, The Plucky Squire has you covered.

#ThePluckySquire?! I thought they closed that place down!

Astro Bot - Review | Progress Bar Astro Bot is a phenomenal platformer with dazzling visuals, responsive controls, groundbreaking physics, and a banger soundtrack.

#AstroBot is a phenomenal 3D Platformer that absolutely earns its place among the greats.

Star Wars: Outlaws - Review | Progress Bar Star Wars: Outlaws is an ambitious take on the open world formula that fully commits to delivering an immersive space scoundrel experience.

#StarWarsOutlaws is an ambitious take on the tried and true open world formula, that fully commits to (and largely succeeds in) delivering an immersive and dynamic space scoundrel role-playing experience.
