Marvel Cosmic Invasion is poised to be the “best traditional beat ’em up of the year,” said Game Rant. Developer Tribute Games “achieved near perfection with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge,” and the upcoming release “looks set to build beautifully on that foundation.” The brand is drawing from Marvel’s trove of iconic heroes and villains, with Wolverine, Venom, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, She-Hulk and more as playable characters. (out now for Xbox Series X, PS5, Steam, Nintendo Switch 2)
She’s Leaving

A first-person survival-horror game “with a twist,” as you get to play “both the hunter and the hunted,” said Game Spot. Embodying forensic analyst Charles Dolan, you will explore the dimly lit halls of spooky House Haywood on your quest to solve the mystery of missing people. She’s Leaving is a “compact but engaging” horror game that “blends forensic investigation with tense, stalker-driven survival gameplay,” said Impulse Gamer.
