Rogue Legacy 2 is the perfect sequel. It retains the core of what made the original fantastic, with every feature adding tremendously to the experience. Its cleverly revised class system adds near-limitless gameplay variety, which makes each attempt fun – even when you fail abysmally. This game is everything I wanted from the follow-up, and then some.
Biomutant doesn’t do anything well enough to make you care–ultimately its most grievous disappointment.
Returnal is a wonderful harmony of encounter design, a visually stunning bullet ballet, and an evocative story.
Super Mario Bros. 35 cleverly remixes the Italian plumber's 2D platforming formula, even though some late-game moments drag on.
A charming, breezy brawler Kirby Fighters 2 is a solid gateway fighting game hampered by limited modes and the occasional difficulty spike.
Surgeon Simulator 2's awkward controls create plenty of hearty chuckles, but they only last so long before the frustration becomes chronic.
