Earth Defense Force 5 is a great game for folks who don't need any good reason for just wanting to blow up a lot of bugs with a lot of guns.
Gear.Club Unlimited 2 is a decent title that, though probably not satisfying hardcore simulation fans, will give casual racing fans a new type of racing game to enjoy on Switch.
Ashen wears its influences unabashedly, but immaculate execution helps it rise above unoriginality.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate epitomizes Nintendo at their very best, and serves as the perfect entry point, and the perfect coda, to the series, and to video games, and all that they have achieved until now, in one neat package.
Just Cause 4 is a title that is worth experiencing for anyone who just wants to have a good time watching explosions and flying around a beautiful world.
Home Sweet Home is a poor video game whose few good ideas don't make up for the snore of an experience it is.
RIDE 3 may not have the panache and the multiple coatings of polish of some of the other racing sims out there, but thanks to its attention to detail in terms of the bikes themselves, and how well those bikes control, it's a ride worth taking regardless.
Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are not bad games, and there's just enough here to make them an alluring proposition for many fans. However, that Atlus only does the bare minimum with a pitch as compelling as “Persona rhythm game” continues to be a source of eternal disappointment.
DarkSiders III marries the best parts of DarkSiders will new mechanics, a fun world to explore, enjoyable characters and story, and an engaging combat system.
Farming Simulator 19 is a title that will appease existing fans but does nothing to entice outside audiences into trying the farming lifestyle.
Pokemon weaponizes nostalgia and embraces change in one potent package that delivers the series' best outing in years.
Fallout 76 is not a completely broken game. It's not absolutely devoid of enjoyment, and every once in a while, it can live up to the franchise name it bears. The problem is that that enjoyment is buried under a mountainous pile of long stretches of boredom and emptiness, tedious and mind-numbing quests, baffling design choices, unbelievably bad technical issues, and a host of other problems that turn this into an experience that, frankly, has no business being out on shelves as a full-priced AAA game in its current state. What's concerning is that even if the issues that can be fixed through patches and updates are ironed out, the core fundamentals of the game are deeply flawed.
Style and substance make Spyro: Reignited Trilogy an incredibly compelling package, for fans and newcomers alike.
Battlefield V is yet another excellent addition in this admirably consistent franchise.
OVERKILL's The Walking Dead is a fun title that is bogged down by a combination of bugs, lack of sign-posting, and confusing design decisions.
Tetris Effect isn't just Tetris as you remember it. It's a completely new experience that's meditative at times and wholly engulfing in others. Whether you like it challenging or enrapturing, Tetris Effect will appeal to the fan in you.
Hitman 2 is an excellent sequel full of opportunities that combines the best aspects of its predecessor with strong new additions to put 47's abilities to the test.
Football Manager 2019 is probably the best this series has been in years, if not ever.
Déraciné had potential but its disappointing to see it become nothing but a rudimentary slog.
Unlike a nightmarish fever dream induced by a cosmic god, Call of Cthulhu is a pretty straightforward experience. It falters in places without really getting going in others but does an average job incorporating investigative gameplay with Cthulhu lore.
