February’s release calendar is busier than it used to be, and this weekend’s recommendations reflect that surge. Game Informer’s team has been playing early builds and ports — from Team Ninja’s new Soulslike to retro Virtual Boy software on modern hardware — and offers a short list of highlights worth your time.

  • Nioh 3: Team Ninja’s newest entry moves the series into an open-world format and introduces time-travel beats and a faster Ninja combat style that complements the more defensive Samurai stance. It’s a strong entry point for newcomers and veterans alike.
  • Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2: Early impressions suggest the port preserves the core survival-horror experience while running solidly on Switch 2 hardware — a tempting option if you want RE on the go.
  • Virtual Boy collection on Switch 2: The eerie, retro perspective of Virtual Boy titles translates into a surprisingly engaging novelty when played on contemporary handhelds, offering a fresh way to sample gaming history.
  • Overwatch 2 and new heroes: The long-running shooter’s latest direction leans back toward its original feel, and a slate of incoming heroes should shake up the meta for anyone jumping into quick matches this weekend.
  • Other reads & previews: From a fresh look at Dragon Quest VII’s reimagining to in-progress takes on Mewgenics and recent updates to niche titles like Deadlock, there’s plenty to explore between sessions.
