After a long period in early access, Rotwood has made its way to Switch 2 and PC. The roguelite brawler draws easy comparisons to both last year's Absolum and the hugely successful formula evident in Hades, as you tackle increasingly complex runs into fantasy-themed battles. For those with longer memories, the game may also recall the glory days of Castle Crashers. The tone here is light and the art style is cartoony and inviting, but the gradual upgrade of abilities, gear improvement, and solid battle system make it one that feels like it has longevity. If you've been looking for a co-op adventure with low stakes, brisk pacing, and ease-of-play, Klei Entertainment's new release could be just the ticket.

Full disclosure – I didn't particularly like Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake. But here's the thing about my opinion... it's not your opinion. You might love it! And it's certainly not a broken game. I was frustrated by it, but it looks great and it is scary, which makes it a pretty great game to play on Friday the 13th. My suggestion is to lower the difficulty and enjoy the mood and story and not get hung up on the photography combat like I did. Or you can go play Resident Evil Requiem if you haven't already. Or play it again. That's an option, too.

I have my issues with WWE 2K26 that you can read all about in my review, but when I don't have to engage with the content that bugs me the most, it's still a fun time. With the Road to Wrestlemania in full swing, 'tis the season to throw down in 2K's annual wrestling sim. And if you hate the game's sim-style gameplay, I highly recommend going into the menus and turning off all of the mini-games, stamina, and weight detection to make it closer to an arcade experience. 

Now that the review period is over, I'll continue unlocking Ringside Pass content and will dive deeper into one of my favorite activities: creating custom wrestlers and alternate superstar attire. I've already made snazzy alternate attires for my favorite tag team, the Motor City Machine Guns, based on their 2009 and 2021 looks, and I'm thinking of making some more CM Punk attire designs despite having a boatload of them already. For non-wrestling fans, this is how we like to play dress-up without the physical dolls. I'll probably also continue booking shows in MyGM while knocking out a few podcasts.
