By returning to the past, Battlefield 1 feels renewed. The best game in the series since Bad Company 2.
Not the best or most intricate level, but a welcome departure from previous episodes.
The best Forza Horizon is now one of the best racing games on PC. Vast, varied and lots of fun.
More good Hitman, although the repetition of style and presentation is taking the shine off the experience.
An excellent sequel that expands your toolbox and offers complex, multifaceted environments to explore.
No polish or refinement, just lots of giant ants and plenty of ways to kill them. Ridiculously fun at its best, which it frequently is.
Trials of the Blood Dragon shows promise when it's allowed to be a Trials game. The rest of the time, it's just bad.
Not quite on par with Sapienza, Hitman's third episode is nonetheless a detailed, intricate playground for murder.
It's not flawless, but Overwatch is still one of the best new multiplayer shooters to arrive in years.
The early game promises an instant strategy classic, but Stellaris is unable to maintain that pace.
Huge, open and beautiful. Sapienza offers up a different sort of challenge to Paris, and is a promising sign for Hitman's future.
Beamdog has proven they can continue the Baldur's Gate story. In doing so, they replicate the antiquated nature of the Baldur's Gate games.
Functional, yet prosaic. Constructing robots is a highlight, but Automatron's quest is short and unremarkable.
Not particularly difficult, and its mobile roots are showing, but Hitman GO: Definitive Edition is an entertaining puzzle spin-off.
Despite being a smart progression of Blood Money's ideas, Hitman feels unrefined and unfinished in lots of small but important ways.
Effortlessly stylish, perhaps to the detriment of substance. But Superhot isn't one to miss.
A few good ideas, but Prospekt is hurt by uninspired design and infuriating combat encounters.
A little too streamlined in places, but Rise of the Tomb Raider does a lot to improve upon its predecessor.
A chaotic action romp, tragically let down by repetition and padding. There's fun to be had, but all too little variety in its huge open world.
Sloppy controls make for an infuriating platformer. If you want a modern Sonic game, get Generations instead.
