Heartfelt and poignant, the only thing Life is Strange: True Colors trips over is its own words.

Experimental and unique, 12 Minutes forgoes some classic gaming standards in favor of a stylized, cinematic approach.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Siege of Paris DLC is the same game, different setting -- nothing new to see here.
While Pokémon Unite's core gameplay is fun, strange design choices and a convoluted microtransaction system complicates a simple MOBA.
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a must-play for fans of the series and anyone interested in visual novels.

Mario Golf: Super Rush features elegant golf systems, but is devoid of content that makes good use of it.
Given it technically only costs the price of a World of Warcraft subscription, absolutely. It’s incredibly rare to have the opportunity to go back in time with an ever-changing MMORPG. Experience history. You probably won’t get a third chance.
Scarlet Nexus is an excellent action roleplaying game for all fans of the genre.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a pure superhero spectacle that takes full advantage of the PS5's hardware.
Despite biting off more than it can chew, Biomutant is a creative labor of love with strong RPG hooks.
Resident Evil Village is an uneven anthology of horror movie send-ups. Sometimes it offers a truly exciting vision of the series’ future with imaginative world-building and rewarding exploration. Other times, it’s a fairly run-of-the-mill shooter that struggles to provide any real stakes or tension. Those two tones are often at odds with one another, highlighting all of the franchise’s best and worst instincts in one eclectic package. Chalk it up to a quarter-life crisis.
New Pokemon Snap is a worthy follow up to a beloved classic that's loaded with charm and a surprising amount of content.

NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139… confirms that the original NieR was both way ahead of its time and far behind it. The story is tremendously captivating and it’s only gotten better with newly added content. On the other side of the coin, the repetitive gameplay feels outdated even by 2010 standards. Those who press through the 30-hour adventure will be rewarded with a bold narrative odyssey. It may even outdo NieR Automata in retrospect, but it’s hard to blame anyone who’d rather watch it all on YouTube instead of playing it for themselves.
Is Outriders a sophisticated action game with a compelling sci-fi story? No. Does it feel fun to freeze a spider with an ice turret and shatter it with a well-placed sniper shot? You bet. Sometimes, that’s all one really wants from a shooter like this. It could use an offline mode for single-player sessions and a fair bit of maintenance, but it’s a solid foundation for an action game that respects its players’ time.
Balan Wonderworld is a hodge-podge of half-formed platforming ideas that squander a whole lot of charm.
