Choo-Choo Charles (PS5)

The missions keep me on edge, especially when Charles suddenly appears around a bend. Planning each route on the treacherous tracks before setting out adds a great layer of strategy.

Navigating the treacherous winding tracks to plan each mission keeps the tension high, and the concept of fighting a bloodthirsty train is as ridiculous as it is fun. I’ve already lost track of time exploring the massive play area in my trusty old engine.

I was skeptical about a game where you fight a train, but the mission planning on those winding tracks keeps me on edge every session. The old engine handles surprisingly well, and hunting Charles feels genuinely thrilling.
