Achilles: Survivor arrives as a nimble fusion of top-down bullet heaven and strategic base-building, set in a vividly reimagined ancient Greece. Dark Point Games channels mythology and roguelite tension into a well-oiled loop of combat, construction, and progression – especially satisfying if you appreciate running toward the mythic while building defenses under fire.

9 Years of Shadows review (PS5)
9 Years of Shadows brings Europa’s quest inside the hulking mechanical fortress of Talos to PlayStation 5, offering a thoughtful Metroidvania blend of elemental combat and musical healing.

From the outset, Hunter × Hunter: Nen × Impact positions itself as a fighting game that leans into the chaotic excitement of 3-on-3 team battles. Developed by Eighting and Bushiroad Games and published by Arc System Works, it’s a project with solid fighting game lineage behind it, drawing inspiration from the fast-paced tag systems of Marvel vs. Capcom 3. That foundation gives the game a sharp edge in terms of mechanical depth, but the experience is let down by a lack of polish and content that undermines its initial promise.
