Kirby is one of the few Nintendo franchises that has completely passed me by until now. It’s probably my fault, but the characters from that series have always looked to me like those quirky cartoons that start out happy and colorful, then veer into surprisingly dark horror‑comedy territory. Kirby Air Raiders is in a league of its own though.

This review praises ARC Raiders as a fresh, polished, and more accessible entry into the extraction shooter genre, highlighting its engaging PvPvE combat, well-designed robot enemies, satisfying progression systems, and stunning audiovisual presentation on Unreal Engine 5, while noting criticisms of its menu-based social hub and occasional inventory management clunkiness on consoles.

This review praises Battlefield 6 as a triumphant return to form for the franchise, redeeming the missteps of its predecessor. It highlights the exceptionally fun and chaotic large-scale multiplayer as the core strength, featuring a spectacular and impactful environmental destruction system, well-designed maps, and satisfying gunplay and class progression.
