Unfortunate Spacemen is the real deal, a free to play multiplayer title that captures the magic of The Thing while at the same time managing to avoid all the common F2P pitfalls.
Destroy All Humans! (2020) is a faithful remake that captures the joy of the 2005 original while at the same time looking and feeling like a modern game.
Lightbulb Crew have crafted a gem that will shine brightly as one of the genre’s most innovative and addictive exponents.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is an incredibly fun experience that seems destined to top the most played charts on Steam for a pretty long time.
KING Art Games’ first foray into the RTS genre is a more than worthy alternative to Relic’s Company of Heroes series.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is still the game to beat when it comes to RPG combat, though this remaster plays things a bit too safe, considering its price tag.
The Dungeon of Naheulbeuk’s comedy might not earn it many favors, but its excellent tactical combat can make up for any shortcomings in other areas.
Serious Sam 4 is the heavy metal mosh pit to Doom’s beautifully choreographed ballet of death. Rough around the edges, but incredibly fun to play if you are a first person shooter fan.
Star Wars: Squadrons is a dream game for anyone looking for a worthy successor to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series.
Space Crew is a competent sequel to Bomber Crew, and not just a palette swap, as it introduces new elements into the mix while at the same time refining what made the first game so good.
Aquanox Deep Descent suffers from poor mission variety and an underwhelming story, but its combat and ship customization systems are solid and entertaining.
Watch Dogs: Legion is the rare big budget AAA sequel that dares to take chances with cool new ideas instead of remixing the same old tunes with better graphics or a bigger map.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla might not revolutionize the open world RPG genre, but its careful evolution of the mechanics outlined in Origins and Odyssey leads to the series’ best title yet.
The Falconeer is a very competent flight combat title set in a gorgeous and mysterious world that is a joy to explore, even if it’s a bit empty.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is a very faithful remaster of Criterion’s best Need for Speed, though its graphical upgrades aren’t as noticeable on PC as they are on consoles.
Godfall’s excellent combat system and gorgeous graphics will earn it many fans, though its cookie cutter storyline and chronic lack of enemy variety drag down the experience a bit.
Immortals Fenyx Rising is a surprisingly refreshing open world adventure that is not only extremely fun to play, but also very respectful of the player’s time.
Chronos: Before the Ashes feels dated and awkward, though its intriguing world and unique aging mechanic will probably earn it some fans in the crowded action RPG landscape.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game Complete Edition is as fresh and exciting today as it was ten years ago. This is one of the best beat ’em ups I’ve had the pleasure of playing during the past decade, and I sincerely hope that it will finally be able to stay on sale for a long time, because its original removal from online shops prevented millions of players from experiencing an adventure that deserves to be played and replayed countless times.
Hitman 3 is the best entry in the series by far, supplanting Blood Money as the definitive stealth sandbox experience.
