I would have loved more RTS-style missions in Warcraft 3 Reforged's Forsaken Kingdom campaign expansion, but the deeper RPG mechanics and a story that fits right into the Warcraft 3 era seamlessly kept me hooked to the end.
Valheim is the oath of the ultimate survival crafting adventure fulfilled, with a gorgeous art style, deadly dungeons, charming homesteading mechanics, and a breathtaking scope.
While a lot of the basic mechanics and moment-to-moment survival horror of The Sinking City 2 feel inescapably like off-brand Resident Evil, it's a praiseworthy imitation of its main inspirations wrapped in the Cthulhu mythos.
The Mound: Omen of Cthulhu is an entertaining co-op horror excursion that can sometimes feel a bit too oppressive.
A high-concept, fascinating strategy RPG that can start to buckle under its own ambitions.
A mind-boggling grand strategy game that tries to do way too many things, but ends up doing some of them extremely well.
While it may not satisfy those looking for more of a classic survival horror experience, I absolutely loved the heart-wrenching and vibrantly inventive journey that was Silent Hill f. Each finished playthrough beckoned me back into the gloom to start another, even though the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Because I still had more questions, and Silent Hill f still had more answers. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time, and it may just become an instant horror classic.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 fulfills the promise of being the most true-to-life and detailed game of its kind.
Against the Storm is a well-designed, charming, enthralling roguelike city builder.
