Review

REPLACED

REPLACED is a breathtaking cyberpunk pixel-art experience that earns its long development through visual craft and narrative ambition rarely seen in the medium. Combat, platforming, and save system rough edges keep it from greatness, but what works here works at an exceptionally high level.

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is a stunning achievement in both art direction and game design. Its hand-drawn 1930s aesthetic is not merely cosmetic — it informs every aspect of the gameplay, from the cartoon-logic weapons to the impossible architecture of its meticulously crafted levels. Combined with sharp shooting mechanics, genuinely engaging detective sequences, and Troy Baker's charismatic lead performance, this is one of 2026's must-play shooters.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A

Pokemon Legends: Z-A successfully evolves the franchise with its real-time battles and richly detailed city setting, even if the single-location approach limits the sense of adventure that defines the best Pokemon games.
