A underwhelming story but a massive, exciting sandbox of parkour and kinetic combat.
Gunfighting can become a key-mashing hassle, but otherwise it's a very enjoyable western adventure.
With more pronounced effects than the first expansion, Snowfall adds new challenges and complexity.
A peaceful and utterly charming adventure that left me wishing for more.
A tense and spooky stroll through a gorgeous world, some fun supernatural detective work, and an efficient script with sparse dialogue.
Casual and silly yet still tense and exciting. It's a shame there's no online multiplayer.
Occasionally punishing, but still a fun, time-bending, mind-rending platformer.
A stylish and creative adventure with a clever time-rewinding hook.
A big 'ol chunk of game with a lot of things to do, and just as importantly, new ways to do them.
As a pure enhancement, though, After Dark does the job nicely. The new options for dedicated lanes in roads are great, the new buildings are enjoyable and useful, and the leisure and tourism areas give you some fun new things to focus on.
A great setting, a good story, and more dialogue-based solutions than the base game provides.
A big, beautiful, chaotic canvas of freeform destruction, Far Cry 5 continues the series' best traditions.
In a genre overstuffed with guns and grenades, this cute and cuddly battle royale stands out.
Playing as anyone works great in Legion—once you've finally found the right group of anyones.
A choppy start leads to a compelling survival experience in Raft.
Visually drab and a bit too taken with its own story, but otherwise a clever and fun exercise in creative problem-solving.
Portal's systems, if not its clever humor, are put to good use in this fun physics-based puzzle game.
Satisfying car combat and a beautiful wasteland mostly make up for repetitive melee combat and lackluster story.
The city builder sequel is packed with big improvements but a fair share of disappointments.
Attacking settlements, especially your own, is good fun, but there’s hours of chores to complete before you can really become a raider.
