Fantastic and fantastically flawed, Cyberpunk 2077 has the makings of a masterpiece held back by incongruities of narrative and confusing design choices, but it's worth playing for its world alone

Despite a few hiccups, Beyond Light sets the stage for a triumphant year of Destiny 2. If the franchise continues this way, the best is yet to come.

8 / 10 stars - Ghostrunner
Oct 26, 2020

In Ghostrunner, a single slash divides life and death. It's fast, frenetic, and, even in the face of its weaker moments, endlessly satisfying.

10 / 10 stars - Hades
Sep 24, 2020

Hades is everything great about the roguelite genre all but perfected. Few games aim as high, and fewer still reach their goals. Hades does, exceeding even the loftiest expectations.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has real potential, but a lackluster campaign and frustrating design decisions make for an experience we've seen done better before.

Borderlands 3 is the best Borderlands has ever been. It's beautiful, funny, and frantic in the best ways. There are issues, but those shouldn't deter you too much from having an absolute blast.

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is one of the best space sims of recent memory, with a strong narrative, fast-paced combat, and amazing music with few stumbles.

A classic science-fiction story functionally told, ARMA 3 Contact doesn't try to reinvent any wheels in its narrative or gameplay. Instead, it occasionally fails to find its feet even with a strong premise and interesting aliens.
