The PS5 release of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide essentially acts as a celebration of the game reaching its current state of being one of the best co-op shooters out there.
Horizon Zero Dawn has aged quite gracefully, and while the remastered release might feel unnecessary to some, thanks to the boost in visual fidelity, it's the definitive way to play the game.
New World: Aeternum has made some great changes in time for its console release, and while the endgame might not have too much to offer yet, the leveling process is plenty of fun, especially if you go deep into the crafting system.
Europa is a peaceful experience while still managing to be a compelling 3D platformer in its own right. Despite the utter lack of any threat, it never stops being fun thanks to its gorgeous visuals and simple gameplay.
Throne and Liberty might end up being a fine MMORPG in the long term, but currently, it has little in the way of new or interesting ideas to draw players away from other heavyweights in the genre.
The PC release of Final Fantasy 16 is fantastic, with decent performance and stable frame rates. The fact that it also manages to be a fun action game in its own rights also helps.
Keeping with PlayStation Studios' tradition, the PC version of God of War Ragnarok is the definitive way to play and enjoy the epic adventure, regardless of whether you have a beefy high-end gaming rig, or your primary PC is your Steam Deck.
World of Warcraft: The War Within is a breath of fresh air. The expansion feels like it has put World of Warcraft back on track after a few years of sub-par storytelling, and the gameplay additions like Delves and Hero Talents also add quite a bit to look forward to for new players.
Deathbound is a fresh new Souls-styled action RPG with rewarding combat that might have too steep of a learning curve for some players out there.
While Nobody Wants to Die doesn't really emphasize its gameplay as much, in turn, it offers up a story that is an absolute joy to experience, thanks in no small part to its well-realized cyberpunk world and well-written characters.
EvilVEvil might be a competent shooter in some aspects, but its shallow progression and bland graphics hold it back from truly shining.
Crown Wars: The Black Prince is a decent game that is let down by a variety of reasons. While the story, visuals and audio are all, at best, mediocre, the strong gameplay loop where combat directly feeds into the management mechanics is an excellent way to flex your tactical prowess.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic is an interesting exercise, since it doesn't really have much to do with the original World of Warcraft Classic anymore. The sweeping changes it makes to leveling, class and quest design, while interesting on their own, also supplements the more intriguing small-scale stories told throughout the game.
Controversies surrounding PSN account linking on PC games aside, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut continues Sony's tremendous record of fantastic PC ports. There are plenty of options for PC players to tinker with to get the most out of their hardware, and even the Steam Deck is able to run the game with a few tweaks. Just about everything else that's good about Ghost of Tsushima Director's continues to be good.
