Overall, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is a well-crafted game that has a lot of polish and a ton of quality content to enjoy.
Much like the protagonists, Grounded sees Obsidian heading into new brand new territory that's still familiar in some ways, and their expedition ends up paying off big-time.
2K and HB Studios have made the necessary additions and changes to make PGA TOUR 2K23 the best in the series.
Asterigos: Curse of the Stars combines the style of traditional RPGs with a soulslike template, resulting in a challenging but more accessible game that's able to forge its own identity without hiding its influences.
At the end of the day, it's tough to recommend Life is Strange: The Arcadia Bay Collection as it is near launch.
No More Heroes III caters to a niche segment of gamers.
Shovel Knight Dig finds our spade-wielding hero heading in another new direction, and while this trip goes downward, they manage to strike gold here as well. Addictive gameplay, gorgeous graphics and impressive levels that play host to a lot of unique challenges all get mixed together in order to create another winning action game worth checking out for fans and newcomers alike. It truly is another gem that's been dug up here.
Return to Monkey Island is pretty much as perfect a sequel to such a series of classic games as one can get.
It's a departure from its predecessors, but depending on what someone is looking for, Valkyrie Elysium can be a good time.
Titles like The DioField Chronicle usually falter based on whether or not they have good stories, but it's quite the opposite in this case.
NieR: Automata: The End of YoRHa Edition combines top notch gameplay with an incredible story to create one of the most memorable and unique experiences in gaming.
Taiko is not only an enjoyable rhythm title, but easily one of the best and most well-put together ever created.
On the field, EA Sports has offered an even deeper and more immersive experience with FIFA 23.
Blind Fate: Edo no Yami is a good game that's held back by a lack of polish.
Soulstice makes no secret of what influenced it, both in aesthetics and in gameplay mechanics.
Voice of Cards: The Beasts of Burden doesn't stray far from what made its predecessors successful.
Though Trails' usual splendor of combat options here should come as no surprise, what's striking with this year's remastering is how well this once portable-only entry has translated across to more modern-day portable screens alike.
Metal: Hellsinger is the first-person shooter/rhythm game mashup I had no idea I wanted.
NBA 2K23 is the game the community has been wanting, but that hardcore community is far more advanced than any casual player looking to just play a basketball game.
Splatoon 3 is basically exactly what it set out to be: a third entry in the Splatoon series.
