SWORN Review

Though SWORN feels unfinished right now, it is competent and has the potential to grow over time.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound embodies everything a retro action platformer should aspire to be.

As a sequel to Hollow Knight, Silksong meets expectations. When expectations are this high, meeting them is no bad thing.

While largely an ethereal and placid experience, Herdling surprises with moments of wonder, suspense, and sadness.

Wheel World is an enjoyable swoop through a melancholy countryside.

Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo feels destined to be one of 2025’s highlights.

Incredible though it may seem, PowerWash Simulator is one of the most satisfying and fulfilling videogames I have ever played.

Ruffy and the Riverside needs to get out of its own way so I can enjoy its strengths and overlook its weaknesses.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a beautiful, wonderful mess.

Celeste is one of the most incredible works of art in recent memory—in any medium.
