Ereban: Shadow Legacy Console Edition is a great port that translates wonderfully to the PS5 controller. Check it out if you haven't already!

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is easily one of the most terrifying horror games on the market. The Camera Obscura remains one of the coolest combat systems in gaming, but the movement and combat pacing still feel weirdly stuck in the early 2000s.

This is the best Monster Hunter Stories game to date. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection outclasses Wings of Ruin in narrative depth, visual fidelity, combat complexity, and world design. The game has a high learning curve, but once you get a hang of it, it holds its own in...

Nioh 3 is Team Ninja firing on all cylinders. Combat hits harder and feels more varied than anything else in the genre right now. This is the action RPG to beat this year.

Tormented Souls 2 is a faithful sequel that broadens scope while respecting the source material. Tank controls stay polarizing because you're getting retro survival horror complete with its flaws. If you bounced off the first game's clunky controls and archaic design, this won't convert you. But it is a solid...

Ghost of Yotei is the rare sequel that understands what made its predecessor special and builds upon it exceptionally. Atsu's revenge tale might hit predictable notes, but the journey transcends its familiar narrative through unparalleled player freedom. And with Yotei Legends coming in 2026? I can't wait to dive back...
