Hello Neighbor starts off strong, with a strange mystery and interesting place to explore. As you progress through the game's act it quickly loses momentum eventually ending with a whimper instead of the game many were hoping for since the early alphas.
Wickedly violent and fun combat, detailed environments, and hordes of enemies to kill. It doesn't add anything new but the combination of fun and horror sets a chilling mood, making A Walk in the Park a great reason to get back into The Surge.
Batman The Enemy Within Episode 3: Fractured Mask doesn't attempt to rush things any focuses more on narrative instead of action. In Batman The Enemy Within Episode 3: Fractured Mask you'll either push away those potential allies or made new alliances.
Star Wars Battlefront II's predatory microtransaction system drains a lot of the desire to continue playing, creating a new hole for the Star Wars Battlefront series to stumble into.
For its price, de Blob delivers a solid adventure. Venturing throughout, splattering paint around each area, and completing challenges are fun for a few levels but quickly lose their luster.
Horizon Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds is a phenomenal addition to an already fantastic game. It shares the same quality as the main game and doubles down on feature content with more battles, quests, and challenges.
A heavy focus is put on a weak custom character that for some reason plays a larger role than Classic Sonic. Sonic Forces takes too many steps backward from 2011's formula for an experience that's average at best.
Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy is another excellent addition to Telltale's growing library of games. The fantastic story and decisions help mold the story into a personal dialogue of the player's choosing, encouraging multiple playthroughs with unique outcomes.

In one scene you can be in an ultra-serious situation dealing with someone on the brink of suicide and in another a laugh-out-loud comedy, and that’s what Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is about. It brings together these outstandingly written and acted characters to life within a bleak world where death can happen at any time.
Super Mario Odyssey is full of innovative gameplay and original levels that it easily can eat up your time. The story simply serves as a goal for the player but the in-game introduction of new platforming action that constantly created unexpected mechanics filled me with joy and excitement.
Life is Strange Before the Storm Episode 2: Brave New World is a fantastic addition to this 3 part series. It still suffers from the same issues from the first episode but these are minor complaints.
