Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter

A
The Blood of Dawnwalker

Rebel Wolves' vampire RPG from the Witcher 3 director. Strong writing and a clever 30-day timer; combat gets repetitive. 1M sold in 3 days.

PS5 / Xbox / PCAction RPG84 Metacritic
Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Capcom's first new Onimusha in 20+ years. Superb parry combat (IGN 10/10); repeated mini-bosses hold it back.

PS5 / Xbox / Switch 2 / PCAction86 OpenCritic
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave

Intelligent Systems' Switch 2 debut for the series. One of the year's best-reviewed games.

B
Marvel's Wolverine

Insomniac's Logan is great and the combat bites, but critics found it linear and dated. Lowest-rated PlayStation Studios game on PS5.

PS5Action77 Metacritic
Control Resonant

Remedy's melee-driven sequel starring Dylan Faden. Great setting; combat thins out in the back half.

PS5 / Xbox / PCAction RPG84 Metacritic
Silent Hill: Townfall

First-person horror set in Scotland. Thick atmosphere, clunky stealth and harsh checkpoints.

PS5 / PCPsychological Horror81 Metacritic
EA Sports FC 27

The annual football juggernaut. New Grounds mode splits fans; monetization gripes as usual.
