Bravely Default 2 is one of the best games to point to when people ask what makes JRPGs fun.
Old School RuneScape is a massive but compelling time sink, and even after all these years, there's simply nothing else like it.
Beyond Light delivers one of the best raids in Destiny history and some of the best story moments in Destiny 2, and that's more than enough to make up for a few disappointing gaps.
The Pathless switches effortlessly between relaxing exploration and exhilarating story moments, and it's altogether incredible.
A gorgeous, tear-jerking platformer which improves on absolutely everything in the first game and ranks among the finest Metroidvanias available today.
A short and satisfying space adventure which really is laugh out loud funny
It's not quite on the level of The Taken King or Forsaken, but Shadowkeep feels like a major step forward for Destiny 2. It's a promising starting point for the game's third year, and for post-Activision Bungie.

Code Vein's lackluster combat is held up by great character customization, and its boring world is driven by a memorable story. It's clunky and uneven, but fun.

A first-person survival shooter that's as engrossing as it is unnerving, Metro Exodus tells a powerfully human story in a world that's equal parts style and substance.
