Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is the best-playing entry in the long-running series.
A let down it is that Omega Force couldn't dedicate as much time to the visuals as they have done the source material, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is still the kind of game — the kind of Musou too — that seemingly does the unthinkable in providing a ludicrous-yet-fulfilling action game regardless of its depth.
While you can't fault the visuals and the effort put in to try and mask the evident budget limitations, that cutting of corners vibe is sadly something that plays into The Complex one too few many times.

Paper Beast is a unique adventure/puzzler set in a simulated world that reacts however you tell it to, once you figure out its rules.
When everything comes together, Doom Eternal’s combat, mobility and levels combine to create one of the most satisfying gameplay loops and FPS campaigns in years. The Doom Slayer came, he sawed and he lived up to his reputation.

There are times when you feel obliged to find faults no matter how minor, but in the ten-plus hours spent with Moon Studios' latest, there are none.
Nioh 2 is a great game that's obscured beneath a mountain of frustration.
Many fans felt as though this wonderful spin-off series had seen its last entry with Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon. This remake is not only fantastic but has revitalized what made the series so memorable to begin with.
Murder by Numbers is a game for people who enjoy playing nonogram/Picross puzzles.
With a lengthier campaign and better character development, The Suicide of Rachel Foster could've been an engrossing equivalent to first-person adventure-style mysteries prior.
The Yakuza Remastered Collection is about as perfect a rendition of the three included games as one could ask for.
Granblue Fantasy: Versus is the series' first game release outside of its original mobile title.
