00:002026 is already pretty stacked for excellent games, so let's rank the best ones so far.
00:056.
00:06Blades of Greed
00:07Ever wondered what it would be like if Metal Gear Solid V went goblin mode?
00:11Well, Blades of Greed does just that.
00:13We didn't expect this game to impress us so much by genuinely evolving the stealth
00:17genre like it does.
00:195.
00:20Demon Tides
00:20Few 3D platformers feel as joyous as Demon Tides.
00:24It's a bit easier than Demon Turf, fusing exhilarating, wave-riding traversal with
00:28inventive design to create a bold, joyful adventure that rarely misses a beat.
00:334.
00:33Mugenics
00:34This is a perfect mashup of the binding of Isaac into the breach and a touch of Dungeons & Dragons,
00:40a truly outstanding strategy road-like.
00:42Pokemon Pocopia
00:43Just one more hour, that's what you'll be saying every time you play Pokemon Pocopia.
00:48This cozy Pokemon game is utterly charming and one of the best Switch 2 games ever.
00:52Nioh 3
00:53This game takes the Souls-like series open world and manages to make it feel like a huge
00:58improvement rather than a gimmick.
01:00Nioh 3 is as challenging as ever, but it's also the easiest to get into as well.
01:05At number 1 is Resident Evil Requiem, a soaring piece of survival horror theatre that balances
01:11intense action with absolute terror across two heroes.
01:14Resident Evil Requiem is the best game of 2026 so far, but do you think there's an upcoming
01:19game that could top it?
