The best-looking game to date, F1 2021 sets itself up firmly as a top prospect to look out for in years to come.
Capturing the essence of the genre and adding its own twists, Rising Hell may not be the cream of the crop, but it sure is rising up fast.
Exciting combat and brilliant storytelling allow Scarlet Nexus to surpass expectations and establish itself as more than just another anime action-RPG.
A fun addition to the series, Mario Golf: Super Rush is let down by a subpar story mode that fails to build on the history of the franchise.
As a first step into game development, Game Builder Garage represents a fun and engaging way of dipping your toes. It is not overly convoluted, and is approachable when it comes to creating polished experiences with a little bit of work. The software educates, guides, and makes the creator’s enjoyment a key part of the process. If only Nintendo would fix the online and community gaps, then it will truly be a playground of creativity.
Paying homage in a way that detracts from the experience, Wonder Boy: Asha in Monster World is an unfortunate missed opportunity to introduce a classic to modern gamers.
A new flagbearer when it comes to fighting games, Guilty Gear Strive smashes onto the scene like the superstar it is.
The Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection is an enigma. It represents the easiest way of allowing a new generation of gamers to experience a revered series, but it also happens to consist of one amazing game in Ninja Gaiden Sigma, an okay offering in Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, and an absolute abomination that is Razor’s Edge. Depending on your appetite for punishment, it might just be worth getting the collection just to experience the first two games, while the third is better off being missed.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart represents the zenith of a long-running series, and paves the way for a bright future full of possibilities.
An intriguing story that demands your attention, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids brings the fun in narrative and less so when it comes to less significant quests.
Very Very Valet tries to bring the fun of chaos, but falls short of being a bonafide five-star offering.
The Wild at Heart is a stunning escapade that is brought to life with beautiful hand-drawn art, delightful uses for its Spritelings, the interesting characters from start to end, and a place worth revisiting constantly with the Deep Woods. If you are in search of an indie game that is full of charm, life, and an intriguing mystery to keep you occupied, The Wild at Heart is the perfect adventure for you.
Not exactly the all-star debut, MLB The Show 21 is still the frontrunner for the best baseball experience on consoles.
Aiming for the top but falling hard, Biomutant leaves us wondering just what could have been if it just made some important changes.
An entertaining, action-heavy adventure that explores more about the history of Resident Evil and gives Ethan Winters more time to shine.
A truly AAA sci-fi roguelike masterpiece full of intense moments and inviting mysteries, Returnal continually reminds us of why we love Housemarque so much in the first place.
Despite the steep learning curve and the hubbub about single-player paywalls, the pure enjoyment of every new Pac-Man 99 game stands tall above all. Whether you are itching for one short session or a marathon of close calls and satisfactory victory, this battle royale cannot come recommended enough.
When it comes to Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, it is all about love, a labour of dedication and design that will no doubt garner fans aplenty in the days ahead.
The 1930s are back, and Mafia: Definitive Editon brings with it a gorgeous new look with dated parts under the hood.
A great mix of action, storytelling, and wonderful art, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is an awesome arcade football game that truly deserves the world’s stage.
