Mass Effect: Andromeda often comes off like a giant checklist of Mass Effect–themed content, but what it's missing is the wonder and excitement that made the last Mass Effect games feel special.

Gravity Rush 2 is a surprisingly massive and extremely beautiful Japanese action RPG that stands tall despite its flaws.

We loved the original Super Mario Maker last year, and, in many ways, this is a seamless port, with a fantastic, complete 2D Mario game thrown in to boot. However, the gutted online capabilities cut this port off from a lot of what makes the game special, leaving the 3DS version in an odd position.
Dead Rising 4’s raw zombie carnage impresses, but its story and technical problems leave it dead on arrival.
'The Last Guardian' is rooted in the past, with design problems the game's beautiful aesthetic can't disguise.
Dishonored 2 gives fans even more of the innovative gameplay that made us fall in love with the original.
For the first time in years, the newest Pokémon games find a flavor all their own.
The good outweighs the bad, with Watch Dogs 2 providing lots of stellar opportunities for players to hack the planet.
