No sooner had one game released than another followed. Each week brought a noteworthy title that resonated well with players, catering to various tastes across platforms.

Big Releases to Celebrate

Coming in hot on September 11 was Borderlands 4, offering the series’ best gameplay to date. While it faced some technical hiccups, its engaging story and loot mechanics refreshed the looter-shooter genre.

Another standout is Hades 2, which, although it technically launched in early access last year, deserves a mention. In my opinion, it’s one of the best roguelike games ever created and enhances the beloved original in almost every aspect. Make sure to grab it when you can.

New Entries into Classic Franchises

The franchise that defined survival horror, Silent Hill f, has also made waves this month. Gamers praised its storytelling while appreciating the fresh setting and time period that still remained true to the series.

If speed is your preference, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds pushed the boundaries in Sega’s kart racer. It introduced exciting guest characters and the ability to teleport across worlds. We also had noteworthy titles like Dying Light: The Beast, Cronos: The New Dawn, and Hell is Us, which while not flashy, added delightful variety to the month.
