1. Donkey Kong Bananza
Nintendo has done it again, breathing new life into one of its oldest franchises. Donkey Kong Bananza is not just a platformer — it’s a celebration of everything we love about DK.
The game introduces a vibrant jungle city with a dynamic day-night cycle, interactive NPCs, and dozens of creative levels filled with bananas, enemies, and surprises.
One of the highlights is the four-player co-op mode , which lets you team up as Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky, each with unique abilities. For fans of platforming, family-friendly fun, and nostalgia, this game is a must-have.

2. Killing Floor 3
If you love adrenaline-pumping co-op shooters, you’ll want to dive straight into Killing Floor 3 . Tripwire Interactive has raised the stakes with smarter AI, even bigger waves of enemies, and a much darker story.
What really sets this game apart is its destructible environments and new tactical options — you can set traps, barricade doors, and even call in drone strikes if your squad earns enough points. And of course, the boss fights are as terrifying and over-the-top as ever.
Check out the official Killing Floor 3 website for trailers, news, and updates.
3. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers
For players who love challenging, atmospheric games, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers might be your game of the year. This Chinese-developed action RPG is set in a haunting, plague-ridden world inspired by Chinese mythology.
You play as Wuchang, a cursed warrior with a mysterious feathered arm that gives you both devastating attacks and strange powers.
The game’s combat is brutally satisfying , clearly inspired by Soulsborne games, with dodging, parrying, and learning boss patterns being key to survival.

4. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Remaster
Skateboarding games are back, thanks to the success of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 Remaster a few years ago. Now, Activision is giving us Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Remaster , and it’s everything fans have been asking for.
Best of all, the game has modern online multiplayer modes and leaderboards, so you can show off your combos and tricks to the world.

Ryu Hayabusa is back, and he’s more deadly than ever in Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound . This brand-new entry in the legendary series stays true to its roots — fast, precise combat and unforgiving difficulty — while introducing new mechanics that keep things fresh.
What really makes Ragebound exciting is its epic boss battles and huge environments , ranging from ancient temples to cyberpunk cities.
