Kirby Air Riders just isn’t a sport I used to be anticipating or hoping for, however now that it’s right here, I’m very grateful for it. Masahiro Sakurai is finest recognized for his work directing the Smash Bros collection, and when you’re a fan of these video games, Air Riders will really feel shockingly acquainted. From its flashy presentation to its dizzying variety of achievements and unlockables, there’s a stage of fashion right here I didn’t know I used to be lacking.

Roguelike can imply numerous issues these days, with so many genres crossing over with it in an (thrilling) try and innovate. However what I like about Morsels, an indie twin-stick roguelike from developer Furcula, is the way it seems like a “traditional” roguelike. In a run, you gather little creatures referred to as morsels, every with completely different talents and assault kinds. In the event that they die, you lose that creature out of your roster, and also you’ll solely ever have three — it’s type of like a sport the place your weapons are additionally your lives. It stands out, nevertheless, as a result of there’s comparatively little macro development (at the least within the opening hours), which means the one method to progress farther is to simply get higher. Couple that with a smattering of secret aims and a normal drought of rationalization, and it nearly jogs my memory of Spelunky. You be taught by doing and dying. Some runs are simply unfortunate. However if you get a great run with the correct amount of talent, the sport feels superior.

Silent Hill 2 is again. Once more! Bloober Staff’s glorious remake of Konami’s 2001 psychological horror sport is out there on Xbox Sequence X/S. The sport launched on PlayStation 5 and PC final 12 months and I preferred it quite a bit. I am unable to think about the Xbox model of the sport will carry something new or novel to the expertise, however I’m glad it’s on a brand new platform in order that extra folks can test it out. And when you end that sport wanting extra, Bloober Staff’s 2025 horror sport, Cronos: The New Daybreak, is fairly strong, too, and undoubtedly has some Silent Hill 2 vibes.
