Conquer the Frontier
In Wild West Legacy, you aren’t just a gunslinger; you’re a survivor. After a brutal attack leaves you for dead, you must rebuild your life from the dust up. The game shifts the focus from typical “outlaw” action to the broader struggle of the era:

Manage: Recruit settlers, assign jobs, and manage vital resources like food and water to ensure your community prospers.
PS5 & PS5 Pro Enhancements
The Ultimate Edition is optimised to leverage the power of the PlayStation 5, offering a “visually stunning” version of the frontier.
First-Person Perspective: A dedicated optional first-person mode allows you to experience the detail of your hand-crafted settlements and the intensity of a shootout up close.
PS5 Pro Optimised: Players on the Pro model can expect enhanced performance, refined lighting, and higher fidelity textures to capture the stark beauty of the prairie.
Haptic Feedback: Feel the kick of your revolver and the rhythm of your horse’s gallop through the DualSense wireless controller.
What’s in the Ultimate Edition?
This physical and digital release is packed with a massive amount of bonus content for fans of the genre.

Indie developer Sunny Lab, in partnership with publisher Silver Lining Interactive, has officially confirmed that its highly anticipated 2D adventure RPG, The Witch’s Bakery, will whisk its way onto the Nintendo Switch 2 in Q2 2026.
Following a massive Kickstarter success that saw over 7,000 backers pledge more than €315,000, the French studio announced the next-gen console version alongside a brand-new trailer. The game is now slated for a simultaneous release across PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, the original Nintendo Switch, and its successor.
Magic in Modern Paris
The Witch’s Bakery invites players to step into the flour-dusted shoes of Lunne, a cheerful witch who has just arrived in a vibrant, modern-day Paris. While she spends her mornings managing a bustling bakery, her real magic lies in her ability to see into the “Heart Palaces” of her customers to heal their deepest emotional struggles.
The gameplay experience is structured into three distinct daily phases:
Daytime: Manage the bakery, serve customers, and grow your reputation.
Evening: Explore iconic Parisian districts, such as Le Quai des Bouquinistes, to meet new friends and uncover secrets.
Night: Retreat to Lunne’s cosy atelier to craft magic, decorate the shop, and rest for the day ahead.
Physical Pre-orders & “Key-Card” Innovations
In a move to cater to collectors, Sunny Lab also announced physical editions for PS5 and both Nintendo platforms. Interestingly, the developer noted that the Nintendo Switch 2 physical version will utilise a “Game Key Card” (GKC) approach to keep the retail price accessible while still offering a boxed product for enthusiasts.
“Being able to offer a boxed version of The Witch’s Bakery is something we’re genuinely excited about,” the team shared in a recent update. “Physical releases come with additional costs… but it’s important to us to keep the price reasonable and accessible.”
The physical editions are available for pre-order now at $34.99 / £29.99 / €34.99 and include an exclusive digital cookbook featuring recipes inspired by the magical pastries in the game.
Release Outlook
With over 90,000 wishlists on Steam and a growing community, The Witch’s Bakery is shaping up to be one of the breakout “cosy” hits of 2026. Owners of the original Switch version will also reportedly benefit from cross-generation save support and a free upgrade path to the Switch 2 version, ensuring no baker is left behind.

After a nine-year hiatus, the gaming world’s most cynical and foul-mouthed goblin is returning to the shadows. Developed by Cyanide Studio and published by Nacon, Styx: Blades of Greed is the third instalment in the stealth-action series, following Master of Shadows (2014) and Shards of Darkness (2017).
Scheduled for release on February 19, 2026, the game looks to evolve the franchise’s “hardcore stealth” roots into a more expansive, sandbox experience.
A New Era of Goblin Greed
Set immediately after the cliffhanger ending of Shards of Darkness, Blades of Greed serves as a narrative bridge to the events of Of Orcs and Men. For the first time, Styx is no longer just a hired hand; he is a boss leading his own crew from a personal zeppelin.
The central MacGuffin this time is Quartz, a mysterious and volatile power source. As the continent of Iserian teeters on the edge of a Great War between humans, elves, and orcs, Styx aims to snatch as much Quartz as possible, which simultaneously grants him devastating new magical abilities.
Expanded Gameplay & Traversal
While previous entries were known for their tight, linear levels, Blades of Greed introduces a Metroidvania-style structure across three massive open environments:
The Wall: A brutal human military stronghold.
Turquoise Dawn: A lush, vertical orc village.
Akenash: The ruins of the ancient elven capital.
New Tools for the Master of Shadows
To navigate these larger spaces, Cyanide has overhauled Styx’s mobility:
The Glider: Allows Styx to soar across gaps and drop onto unsuspecting guards from above.
Grappling Hook: Adds significant verticality, letting players zip to rafters and hidden ledges.
Metal Claws: Enable Styx to scale surfaces that were previously unreachable.
Stealth vs. Combat
The developers have doubled down on the “pure stealth” philosophy. Direct combat remains deliberately clunky and punishing—Styx is a goblin, not a gladiator, and can be killed in just two or three hits.
Instead, players are encouraged to use creativity over brawn. You can extinguish torches with sand, poison food supplies, rig chandeliers to fall, or use Quartz-powered abilities like Time Shift and Mind Control to turn enemies against one another.

When Yacht Club Games announced they were partnering with the pixel-art masters at Nitrome, fans knew something special was brewing. The result is Shovel Knight Dig, a game that trades the series’ classic horizontal platforming for a frantic, vertical descent into the earth.
If you’re wondering whether this roguelite spin-off lives up to the blue knight’s legendary status, here is everything you need to know.
The Premise: Down the Rabbit Hole
The story kicks off when Drill Knight and his crew, the Hexcavators, blast apart Shovel Knight’s peaceful campsite and steal his hard-earned loot. Instead of traversing the world map, Shovel Knight grabs his Shovel Blade and dives into a massive hole in the ground to give chase.
Unlike the original Shovel of Hope, which was a curated NES-style platformer, Dig is a roguelite. This means every time you dive into the well, the levels are procedurally generated, ensuring no two runs are exactly the same.
16-Bit Glory
While the original games famously adhered to 8-bit NES limitations, Shovel Knight Dig jumps forward a generation. The visuals are inspired by the 16-bit era (SNES/Genesis), featuring:
Fluid Animations: Shovel Knight moves with a smoothness we haven’t seen before.
Vibrant Palettes: Each biome—from the fungal Mushroom Mines to the mechanical Smeltworks—is bursting with colour and detail.
Parallax Backgrounds: The sense of depth as you descend is incredible, making the underground feel massive.

Before Armoured Core VI returned to the throne, this vibrant, fast-paced spiritual successor was keeping the giant robot dream alive. Here’s why it’s still worth strapping into your Arsenal today.
For a long time, the mech genre felt like it was in cryosleep. Fans of customised robotic warfare were left waiting, replaying old titles and hoping for a revival. Then, in 2019, a streak of neon-colored lightning hit the Nintendo Switch (and later PC). It was called Daemon X Machina.
Helmed by Kenichiro Tsukuda—a veteran producer of the legendary Armoured Core series—and featuring mechanical designs by the visionary Shoji Kawamori (of Macross fame), Daemon X Machina arrived with a serious pedigree. It promised deep customisation, breakneck speed, and an aesthetic unlike anything else on the market.
While it may have flown under the radar for some, this game is a chaotic, flawed, and absolutely addictive gem that deserves a second look. If you love building giant robots and then using them to blow up other giant robots, here is why you need to reclaim your destiny.
The Loop: Loot, Build, Destroy
At its heart, Daemon X Machina is a third-person action shooter with a heavy emphasis on “looting.” You play as a “Reclaimer”—a mercenary pilot in a post-apocalyptic world where the moon has shattered, raining strange energy onto the Earth and turning AIs against humanity.
Your tool of the trade is the Arsenal, a highly customizable mech. The core gameplay loop is intoxicatingly simple:
Accept a mercenary contract (mission).
Drop into a battlefield and obliterate corrupted machines and rival mercenaries in fast-paced aerial combat.
This is key: When you down an enemy Arsenal, you can fly over to their wreckage in real-time and rip weapons or armour parts right off their chassis to add to your inventory.
Return to base, take your new loot into the hangar, and spend hours obsessing over your build.
The immediacy of looting on the battlefield is fantastic. See an enemy with a cool laser sword? Shoot them down and take it. It turns every encounter into a potential shopping spree.
The Hangar: Where Hours Disappear
If you are the type of gamer who spends more time in menus tweaking stats than actually playing the game, welcome home.
The customisation in Daemon X Machina is deep and satisfying. You aren’t just slapping on a new gun; you are balancing weight, energy consumption, memory usage, boost speed, and lock-on ranges. Do you want a hulking tank that dual-wields bazookas? Do you want a lightning-fast ninja mech with a katana and an SMG? Do you want to specialise in long-range sniping or area-of-effect missile swarms?
The game encourages you to build multiple Arsenals for different mission types. And crucially, it lets you make them look incredible. The paint and decal options allow for some serious “Fashion Mech,” ensuring your machine looks as deadly as it performs.
The Vibe: Neon Apocalypse and Heavy Metal
Where many mech games lean into gritty, grey military realism, Daemon X Machina kicks down the door wearing neon sunglasses.
The art style is a striking, cel-shaded comic book brought to life. The world is bathed in vibrant reds, electric blues, and radioactive greens. It’s a stylistic choice that ensures the action remains readable even when dozens of missiles and lasers fill the screen.
Matching this high-energy visual style is an absolutely shredding soundtrack. The music is a driving mix of heavy metal and industrial rock that fits the mechanical carnage perfectly. When the guitar riffs kick in during a boss battle against a colossal “Immortal,” your adrenaline will spike.
The Honest Truth: It’s Not Perfect
It would be disingenuous to recommend Daemon X Machina without acknowledging its rough edges.
The story is, to put it mildly, a convoluted mess of anime tropes. There is a massive cast of mercenary characters, rival factions, and shadowy organisations, and it can be very hard to care about who is betraying whom and why. Most players eventually tune out the dialogue and just focus on the mission objectives.
Furthermore, the mission variety can wear thin in the late game. You will find yourself doing a lot of “destroy all enemies” or “defend this target” objectives repeatedly. While the combat remains fun, the context for it gets repetitive.
The Verdict: Strap In
Despite its narrative flaws and repetitive mission structures, Daemon X Machina succeeds where it counts: the moment-to-moment gameplay.
The sheer joy of piloting a fully customised Arsenal, boosting through the air at breakneck speeds while dodging a barrage of lasers, feels incredible. It fills a niche between the slower, methodical pacing of older mech sims and high-speed character action games.
If you are looking for a game where you can turn your brain off, crank up the metal soundtrack, and spend dozens of hours building the ultimate war machine, Daemon X Machina is waiting for you in the hangar.

In the world of Soulslikes, few titles have captured the “anime-gothic” aesthetic as perfectly as Bandai Namco’s 2019 hit. After years of silence, the Revenants are finally rising again. CODE VEIN II has been officially revealed, and it’s shaping up to be much more than just a standard sequel—it’s a time-bending reimagining of the formula we loved.
Here is everything you need to know about the upcoming journey into the past and present.
The Story: A Race Against Time
Set in a post-apocalyptic world where humanity and Revenants coexist in a fragile balance, CODE VEIN II introduces a terrifying new threat: the Luna Rapacis. This mysterious force is turning Revenants into mindless Horrors, accelerating the collapse of what remains of civilisation.
You step into the boots of a Revenant Hunter who, after a fatal mission, is revived by a mysterious girl named Lou MagMell. Lou shares half of her heart with you, granting you the unique ability to wield time as a weapon. Together, you will travel between the ruined present and the world as it was 100 years ago to rewrite history and prevent the cataclysm before it ever begins.
Key Characters
Lou MagMell: Your mysterious saviour who possesses the power of time manipulation.
Valentin Voda: A powerful Revenant from the past, researching formae to save humanity.
Lyle McLeish: A reckless master swordsman and ace of the “Dawn Chorus” organisation.
Gameplay: Evolved Combat & Exploration
While the core “Anime Souls” DNA remains, CODE VEIN II introduces several massive shifts in gameplay:
1. The Dual-Timeline World
The world is now more open, allowing for deeper exploration. Crucially, actions you take in the past ripple into the present. Solving a puzzle or defeating a boss 100 years ago might unlock a new dungeon or change a questline in the modern day.
2. The Partner System 2.0
Your AI (or co-op) companions are more integrated than ever. You now have two primary ways to utilise them:
Summon: Your partner fights independently alongside you.
Assimilation: You channel your partner’s essence directly into your own body, granting you a massive stat boost and access to “explosive” high-damage attacks.
3. New Tools of Destruction
Bequeathed Formae: These are special summoned items, including a Motorcycle for faster traversal across the wasteland and unique weapons like the “Absolute Executioner” greatsword.
New Weapon Types: Alongside favourites like the Bayonet and Halberd, the sequel introduces brand-new agile Twin Blades.
Jails: The finisher system returns with new variations, such as the Reaper Jail, which equips you with a scythe for sweeping crowd-control counters.
Release Date & Platforms
Mark your calendars: CODE VEIN II is scheduled to launch worldwide on January 30, 2026.
Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam).
Editions: Standard, Deluxe, and a Collector’s Edition (which includes a limited 18cm Lou MagMell figurine and an artbook).
Pro-Tip: If you’re planning to play on PC, Bandai Namco recently confirmed the game will require roughly 70 GB of space, with a recommended RTX 3080 for 1080p at 60 FPS on high settings.
The shift toward a more open world and the inclusion of a motorcycle suggests Bandai Namco is looking to compete with heavy hitters like Elden Ring while keeping the stylish, character-driven heart of the original.

In the world of fantasy gaming, we’ve spent decades kicking down dungeon doors, looting chests, and slaying dragons. But have you ever stopped to wonder how much work it is to run the dungeon?
Enter Vambrace: Dungeon Monarch, the latest title from Dvora Studio (the team behind Vambrace: Cold Soul and The Coma). Released earlier this year, this game invites you to hang up your hero’s sword and pick up the crown of a dark regent.
The Ultimate Power Trip: Playing the Villain
In Vambrace: Dungeon Monarch, you aren’t the underdog hero—you are the ultimate obstacle. As the guardian of a fading deity, your job is to defend your territory from waves of “heroes” who see your home as nothing more than a source of XP and loot.
The game beautifully captures the feeling of being a mastermind. You sit at the heart of your domain, watching as arrogant knights and greedy mages walk into your traps. It’s a refreshing perspective shift that makes every victory feel like a successful master plan coming together.
How It Plays: Strategy Meets Chaos
If you’re wondering where this fits on your digital shelf, imagine a blend of deck-building strategy and fast-paced auto-battling.
Build Your Legion: You collect and upgrade cards representing various units and spells.
The Synergy System: With over 20 synergy types, the game rewards clever combinations. Do you go for a “Vampiric” build that heals as it deals damage, or a “Mechanical” build that uses brute force and armour?
Dungeon Management: Between waves, you construct buildings that unlock higher-tier units and grant you passive buffs, turning your lair into an impenetrable fortress.
Visuals That Pop
True to the Dvora Studio pedigree, the art style is stunning. It maintains that signature hand-drawn, dark-fantasy aesthetic that feels both eerie and elegant. The animations are fluid, and the character designs—ranging from skeletal archers to hulking demonic guards—are dripping with personality.
Why It’s a Must-Play in 2025
While the deck-building genre is crowded, Dungeon Monarch stands out because of its pacing. Unlike slower, turn-based card games, the real-time auto-battles force you to think on your feet. You have to decide in a split second whether to drop a protective shield on your frontline or save your mana for a devastating meteor strike.
With its recent arrival on consoles (PlayStation and Xbox) this December, there’s never been a better time to claim your throne.
The Bottom Line: If you’re tired of being the “chosen one” and want to try your hand at being the “final boss,” Vambrace: Dungeon Monarch is a tactical, stylish, and addictive ride.
