Although this sequel lacks the inspiration of its predecessor, the Splatoon experience has never been better.
Hey! Pikmin is a delightful—but unchallenging—side-scrolling adventure.
Full of genuine surprises, thrilling action, and emotionally grounded in almost every moment, this God of War is easily the best entry in a long series that had no right to reinvent itself so well.
The ability to play your way, no matter what, make Lara Croft's latest journey worth taking.
The first Pokémon RPG to hit Nintendo’s latest console might not be everything that fans want, but it still delights.

I found Jupiter and Mars to be a thrilling and thoughtful experience. It clearly communicates an important message and manages to be equally fun and charming.
Every puzzle feels just smart enough that it won’t be solved by your first guess. Even better, each puzzle usually results in something that’ll put a sinister grin on your face.
I never quite expected to like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as much as I did, but here we are with a game that can mostly stand on its own merits.
The endings for Season Two collectively did the worst thing an ending can do for a video game franchise: They made me unsure that I cared about season three. [WARNING: Spoilers in this review]
