Warriors: Abyss is a shallow Hades riff that doesn't put its creative squad building hook to good use.
Avowed embraces what works best about Obsidian Entertainment's games to offer an unforgettable adventure.
Sid Meier's Civilization VII succeeds at making one of the most storied strategy game franchises still feel fresh.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is a staggering sequel that'll put you in a medieval mindset.
Citizen Sleeper 2 isn’t about living in a perfect world free from oppressive systems, nor does it posit that such a thing is possible. Its comfort is in the belief that we can carve out a home in a world that’s built to box us out. That’s accomplished through the people we keep close, the communities we build, and what we do with our bodies. These should be the things that no one can take from us.
Rift of the Necrodancer captures the true essence of music by creatively visualizing rhythm.
Sniper Elite: Resistance offers more of the same action with virtually no surprises and a dull World War 2 story. That’s perfectly fine considering that the Rebellion team is still great at the one thing they’ve dedicated their career to doing: creating tightly designed murder playgrounds for those who want to vent their real world political frustrations in the safety of a virtual shooting gallery.
Dynasty Warriors: Origins is thrilling fun so long as you don't overthink its hollow story.
Marvel Rivals is the most entertaining hero shooter since Overwatch.
Skydance's Behemoth is an adequate VR game that peaks during some stunning boss battles.
When Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is at its best, it’s a clever mix of Dishonored and Uncharted that rewards players for using their brains to get one step ahead of a fascist power grab. It does that while retaining the campy charm of Steven Spielberg’s original trilogy, even if its attempts at Hollywood spectacle can feel a little flat when compared to a medium full of adventure games that have long since beaten Indy to the finish line.
Infinity Nikki is the stylish open-world game that players have been begging for.
Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl crumbles under the weight of its own ambition.
Lego Horizon Adventures isn't a perfect fit, but Sony's charmer snaps together where it counts.
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake gives an NES classic the royal treatment it deserves.
The Rise of the Golden Idol makes a great mystery series even better.
Unknown 9: Awakening is a promising start for a new series once you learn to love its combat.
Slitterhead is the most creative action game that I've played this year, but it's also deeply flawed.
Mario & Luigi: Brothership puts some creative new spins on an old formula to make for the duo’s biggest RPG to date. Though for all its inventive combat tweaks, Brothership finds the series getting even further away from the strengths that set the Mario & Luigi series apart from everything else in the Mushroom Kingdom. Even with some bright spots, it can’t escape a continued downslide for a series that can’t help but trade in clever writing for dull gimmicks.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a return to form for this once-lauded RPG studio that should satiate Dragon Age fans quite well after a decade-long wait. But returning to form and perfecting form are not the same thing. BioWare has plenty of room to regrow as it gets back on track making the kinds of games RPG fans want them to create.
