Excellent gameplay and visuals help elevate a bloated and poorly paced story.
Ghost of Tsushima treats the era with respect. The solemn approach to an open world is Sucker Punch’s best game yet.

Darksiders Genesis’s superb blend of action, platforming and exploration make it one of the best games of the year.
Respawn delivers a good campaign with a great Star Wars story in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.
The Outer Worlds proves less is more. Obsidian knocks it out of the park with great writing, fun combat, and deep RPG mechanics.
