The beautiful game at its most glorious, and its most grotesque.
When it's good, it's great. When it's bad it's frustrating. Everything in between is, well, Call of Duty.
Generic and boring, Terminator: Resistance's only redeeming feature is its fan service.
Bleeding Edge could be on to something with meaningful updates, but at launch it's Xbox Game Pass filler at best.
The Resident Evil 3 remake, like the original upon which it is based, is inferior to its predecessor.
inXile's old-school RPG is the Fallout game we've been craving.
Don't bother with PES 2021 if you can option file PES 2020, but if you're coming in fresh, PES 2021 is a decent shout at a decent price.
Fun football with plenty of goals, but the grubby business of selling loot boxes lets the side down.
At launch, ahead of the release of the game's first season, Black Ops Cold War is a good shooter and a wonderful achievement, but it is far from being the great competitive multiplayer shooter it should be. I'm confident it can get there. Modern Warfare ended up with some fantastic updates during its first year of life, after all. So I'm sticking with Black Ops Cold War - for now.
In desperate need of depth and content, Destruction AllStars is at least a fun whiz around the corner.
With Guilty Gear Strive, Arc System Works has made its famously complex fighting game series easier to get into, but no less rewarding.
Solid gameplay improvements overshadowed by the fact EA Sports still hasn't tackled FUT's loot box problem.
Vanguard won't join the pantheon of Call of Duty games, but it's a decent stop-gap for those waiting for Modern Warfare's return.
Halo Infinite's move to sort-of open world is a largely successful jumping off point for Halo's bold new future.
Street Fighter 6 rights the wrongs of its predecessor while dragging the famous fighting game franchise kicking and screaming into the modern era.
