There is just way too much to do in this game and it can get confusing without some sort of organized menu system. But if you can stick past that, be okay with having to walk to each event rather than click a button on a menu, you should be fine. Multiplayer will keep this game alive with so many options to choose from and it's suitable for all ages.
If it wasn't for the extreme bugs and flaws that shroud ReCore this would be one of the best games I've played so far this generation. The good outweighs the bad. I hope for its success because this new IP deserves to be an ongoing franchise for everything new it brought to the table.
Far Cry: Primal offers a beautifully laid out and vast land crying to be explored. It has strong moments in its empty wilderness but is missing that "X Factor" that keeps it from feeling like a complete, genre defining experience.
This is definitely a game for fans of any age. There was a lot of love put into it with great detail to its gameplay design.
Hitman Episode 2: Sapienza builds upon what Paris' foundation laid out. A sprawling world crawling with tons to do and good replay value.
Hitman is definitely the stealth action game it was promised, and turning the series episodic has really upped how each new chapter is turning out.
Dishonored 2 is ultimately quite similar to the original game with subtle changes to gameplay. However its dual campaign mode should provide enough excitement and fun to fans and newcomers alike.
I Am Setsuna adds a lot of value to our memories and shows us just how far these games have progressed over the decades. But the lack of momentum and good controls hold it back from greatness.
This game will have its players enjoying the experience from beginning to end with a smile over their faces.
Resident Evil 4 holds its crown as the best game in the series. A great voice cast can't always cover up some awkward story moments, but the atmosphere and experience alone should have almost everyone playing this game sometime in his or her life.
This is a game for the fans. If you loved the previous episodes you'll love this one.
Gravity Rush 2 is a game designed for those who are looking for a lot of fun in a little package. There is never a shortage of tasks to accomplish - even if they are sometimes boring - and combat that takes getting used to but overall this game will leave a smile on your face.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 is fantastic follow up to the 2015 title but is ultimately held back from reaching true greatness thanks to its demonic microtransactions.
There's a lot of joy to be had with The Escapists 2. From an updated crafting system to fun challenges and interesting escape scenarios to discover, this game is designed for hardcore strategists and won't be an easy play for anyone.
The Frozen Wilds feels a bit less unique compared to the base game but if you can ignore that you will find a lot to like and love about Guerrilla Games' latest effort.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is a truly stunning use of the anime license with a ton of tricks to master.
Detroit: Become Human has a thrilling story experience, and figuring out what choices make the plot that's right for you is most of the fun. However, some annoying control mechanics crossed with awkward camera functionality, and performance issues stop Detroit: Become Human from reaching greatness.
Some persistent issues might hold Spider-Man back from the incredible heights many were hoping it would touch, but a strong core, a great love and respect for its source material, and a number of incredibly fun mechanics make it a dream come true for fans of the famous wall-crawler.
Resident Evil Zero is a game best remembered through nostalgia rather than revisiting it. But its single player/co-op game style and item searching add a few interesting moments.
For a LEGO game, LEGO Marvel's Avengers is adequate but not complete. It has a lot going for it, but it's starting to feel like Call of Duty in the way that it's blurring with all the others in the franchise.
