The amount of criticism dished out here may paint a negative picture, but White Shadows is by no means a terrible product and so evidently houses a clear visual style and competent-enough execution of puzzle-platforming.
Halo Infinite concludes a good run of 2021 Microsoft exclusives and it stands up to the best of what the Halo series has offered over its near twenty year run.
There are valid criticisms to be leveled at Chorus, but most of them stem from improvements in game design across the industry as a whole.
Solar Ash is another triumph from Heart Machine, a fast-paced burst of vibrant, surreal science fiction where players get to glide and jump around fascinating worlds with terrific bits of platforming and action spread out across a series of unique worlds with jaw-dropping visuals.

It's been a long time since players have gotten to revisit Sinnoh, and all things considered this may be the definitive way to enjoy it.
Among Trees is a game that ends up being more pretty than good, but then again it's incredibly pretty so that's a high bar to clear.

The fact that Jurassic World Evolution 2 is a worthwhile game isn't surprising.
Final Fantasy V is one of the more overlooked titles in the franchise, but skipping this title would be a mistake.
Battlefield 2042 is a fun game to play, but its base game content will leave you wanting. Thankfully, Battlefield Portal is there to pick up the slack and does so splendidly. There’s still some gas left in Battlefield’s tank.
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remains one of the best games ever made and arguably the best Star Wars game.
Even in the context of notably high-quality "short" games of this year, ElecHead's three-to-four run-time and sparse replayability may look like it doesn't do the game any favors in convincing you this is a run-time to bother investing in.
Forza Horizon 5 is undoubtedly a visual showcase and technical benchmark for PC and Xbox Series X owners.
Shin Megami Tensei V is one of the best RPGs of 2021.
