Weird West feels like the next step in the immersive sim genre.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider stands as the best in a trilogy of excellent games.
If you’re looking for the next big thing in the genre, or just love the relaxing nature only a great 4X can provide, look no further than Age of Wonders: Planetfall.

Gears Tactics takes the great third person pop and stop shooter, into a new turn based, tactical realm.
Psychonauts 2 is not just a worthy sequel to the original, it’s Double Fine’s finest outing yet.
At its worst, a game can take that formula and copy it shamelessly, which usually reminds me of the game it's drawing inspiration from in the first place. At its best, a game can take those inspirations and stand alongside them.

"Trek to Yomis’ love for the genre and cinematic ambition is its best feature and shines a light on its flaws. This is a tale of honor and blood that is worth experiencing."
Overall, Just Cause 4 is a worthy sequel, and improves many problems I had with 3. A shallow story and bland open world don’t hinder the excitement and insanity the tool set Rico is given to cause damage with.
Desperados III builds off Mimimi Games recent history, and breathes new life into a classic series.
MLB The Show 21 provides fans on Xbox and Playstation a fantastic day out in the virtual ball park together.
Monster Hunter: World stomps its way onto PC, but not without suffering a couple of setbacks in the process.
