Another strong (yet stressful) management sim from Frontier Developments.
Starfield shares plenty of DNA with Skyrim and Fallout 4, but ultimately falls short of both.
Despite a clunky story and technical performance, there's a lot of fun to be found in dashing and dodging through a zombie-filled city.
Adorable, amusing, colorful and well-animated, but the combat is too simplistic and repetitive to remain interesting throughout the game.
Rebel Galaxy's combat can be a lot of fun, but there's little depth and a lot of repetition.
Lovely and challenging with enjoyable crafting and survival elements, but poor river controls make it harsher than it should be.
It's Far Cry 5 again, on a smaller scale and with a post-apocalyptic paint job.
This modern remake of the classic puzzle game doesn't stop it from feeling out of date.
The resource management is deep, but the city itself never quite feels like a city.
New toys and strong characters freshen up the Creed formula, but only for a while.
Fun in a simple, almost mindless way, the oceans of Windward are beautiful but not especially deep.
Like Hooper said, sharks just swim and eat, and that's unfortunately not enough to fill even a short action-RPG like Maneater.
An innovative format for a mystery but lacking in story and performances, and overly reliant on peer approval.
Relaxing exploration and some lovely scenery coupled with repetitive systems, frustrating menus, and a lack of real discovery.
Beautiful as you could ask for, especially in VR, but exhaustingly repetitive.
Beautiful as you could ask for, especially in VR, but exhaustingly repetitive.
Beautiful and creative, but controls and design issues often drag it from challenging to frustrating.
A challenging blend of stealth and action, but relies on gross-out rather than real fear. Poor design choices leads to technical shortcomings.
A beautifully crafted but ultimately repetitive world, and a disappointment when it comes to options on PC.
A novel premise wrapped in an awkward and repetitive survival slog.
