Days Gone on Steam is a very competent port with lots of options to tailor to your PC. It’s a great game but still suffers from pacing issues, especially early on.
Observer: System Redux is more of a definitive edition than a full remake. Despite some segments falling flat, it's a tightly-wound narrative that is one of Bloober Team's finest.
Yakuza: Like a Dragon is almost a soft reboot of an aging franchise. It takes the long-running series in a new direction that works really well as a first outing.
Watch Dogs: Legion isn’t a bad game; it’s just not a great one either. I’m still intending to go back through and finish sweeping up the tech points that I’ve missed so far and recruiting the most random NPCs I can find, but it definitely feels like a step backward from Watch Dogs 2.
Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is the anime FIFA I never knew I wanted but now can’t live without.
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.
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.
Yakuza 5 Remastered may look somewhat dated, but the story and gameplay make it one of the best in the Yakuza series.
RAD is a great addition to the rogue-like genre, with spiffy 80's inspired audio, and lots of fun mutations to uncover to help you explore the wasteland.
Tense horde fights made up for the occasional bug, but World War Z should absolutely be played with friends if you’re thinking about jumping in.
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.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission is what players have been asking for over the years, and while it might not be for everyone, it’s a ton of fun
A Plague Tale: Innocence is a dark, yet often touching story of a dark time in history. Two siblings must work together to recover from a family tragedy.
Persona 3: Dancing in Starlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight were the sequels we weren’t expecting, but are a great follow-up to the initial outing.
Man of Medan is a great start to The Dark Pictures Anthology. While some of the dialogue misses the mark, and the story starts a bit slow, once things get rolling you won't want to put it down.
While I think the Far Cry formula hasn’t really changed since exploring that exotic island in 3, the basic gameplay loop is as addictive as ever.
Hitman 2 is a sandbox of death and creativity. Taking in the world makes for some incredibly memorable assassinations and is worthy of the time commitment.
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.
Remnant: From the Ashes borrows heavily from other franchises, but anchors itself with great mechanics, strong gunplay, and fun multiplayer.
My Friend Pedro is the perfect blend of The Matrix and John Wick, unleashing a hail of gunfire while traversing environments has never been better
