Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered is the same beautiful game you remember from 2013, but with a fresh coat of paint and on a couple new platforms.
GreedFall, the new Action-RPG from French studio Spiders, is overly ambitious for its own good, getting bogged down with bugs and poorly implemented ideas.
Code Vein is a great game that sets itself apart from its Dark Souls inspiration with plenty of fighting customization and fast paced battles.
Aside from borrowing heavily from its inspirations, The Surge 2 is a great action-RPG that has enough going for it to set it apart from what came before it.
While eFootball Pro Evolution Soccer hasn't received as many enhancements as last year, its focus on weighty, realistic matches elevate it to greatness.
GRID is a great revival of the racing franchise. It's not too realistic to turn off arcade racing fans, and not too casual for sim fans. It striked the right balance of realism and fun.
NHL 20 returns with a revamped braodcast team and new technology, like RPM, and the number of game modes makes this a must-play for sports fans everywhere.
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth - Complete Edition has a ton of content for players, if they can make it through some weird pacing issues. Both titles have darker, more mature storylines, even when looking at the cutesy Digimon.
Yakuza 5 Remastered may look somewhat dated, but the story and gameplay make it one of the best in the Yakuza series.
Persona 5 Royal is the definitive version of Persona 5. If you haven’t had the chance to play the best role-playing game of this generation, there’s no better time.
I wanted to love Final Fantasy VII Remake. I really did. These are characters and worlds that I grew up loving and genuinely caring about. But after finishing the main campaign and a majority of the side quests, I’m left wondering: why all the praise?
Streets of Rage 4 didn’t need to reinvent the formula; it just needed to expand upon it. There are some great changes here that help elevate the gameplay and combat, but the bland story and environments drag it down a bit. These things won’t deter those looking for a new Streets of Rage entry, especially one that has such great combat.
The Persistence doesn’t break a lot of new ground, but it is a tense sci-fi rogue-lite with some interesting ideas and solid throughout.
Maneater is the game I never knew I wanted.
Pity Pit is priced at $4.99. Even that I think is too high. This is generic trophy fodder garbage, and luckily the platinum can be reached in less than an hour.
I have to commend developer AY Games too. It almost feels like they’ve taken visual cues from Darkest Dungeon, mixed them with mechanics from Slay the Spire, all while giving it their own unique spin on things. The result is a pretty solid title.
Brigandine: The Legend of Runersia suffers from pacing issues throughout, but it still manages to hold its own in the tactical RPG genre with tight systems that have tons of customization options to make each playthrough your own.
Paper Mario: The Origami King is a fun romp back into the world of Paper Mario, but mundane combat and a lack of experience points really hinder the main activity of the game. Charming writing is the real draw here and what will keep bringing players back for more.
Cubicity is far from a bad game, but easy puzzles make it one that you'll forget about pretty quickly. However, it comes with plenty of content.
Destroy All Humans shows its age with poor level and game design, but the chaos that can be wrought upon the Earth with Crypto's arsenal of weapons makes it worth a playthrough.
