PS5 / Xbox / PC

Pearl Abyss delivers the open world game I've been waiting for since Red Dead 2 and Witcher 3. 70 hours in and I'm not done. A genuine GOTY contender.

Released March 19, 2026

From Housemarque, the devs behind Returnal. Third-person action roguelite with bullet-hell combat, 8 biomes and 8 bosses. More approachable than its predecessor.

Released April 30, 2026

The follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. Same open world samurai DNA, new protagonist, and stunning Japanese landscapes.

Forza Horizon 6

Japan, 550+ cars, classic Skylines and Supras everywhere, and yes, you get to race a giant mech. One of the most parent-friendly games I've played in a while.

Released May 19, 2026

PS5 / Xbox / PC

007 First Light

From the Hitman devs, and you feel it. A cracking Bond story, fun combat, and dead easy to pause for the kids. A few online hiccups aside, an easy recommend.

Released May 27, 2026

Mouse: P.I. For Hire

1930s rubber hose animation meets boomer shooter. Australian-made. 95% on Steam. Already out.

Who's Writing This?

I'm Alex Kropp, dad of four, based in Moreton Bay, QLD. I review games the way a real parent plays them: in 30-60 minute sessions, often interrupted, and always straight up about whether a game deserves your time and money.

Kropp Gaming has pulled 2.5M+ views on a single video, consistently hits 45K-100K views per upload, and has 3.6K followers on both Twitch and TikTok. The audience is real, mostly fellow dads who want honest takes without the hype.

I'll always tell you how long it takes to get good, whether the price is justified, and whether it's worth squeezing in after the kids go to bed.
