PCMag's Reviews
Quarantine doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from similar titles, and its new features aren't significant enough to sway its target demographic from its analog counterpart.
Nier: Automata is a match made in heaven, blending the zany tragedy of Yoko Taro's storytelling with Platinum Games' high-energy gameplay. Unfortunately, the PC port suffers from performance problems.
Packed with features and boasting a compelling story, Injustice 2 sets the new fighting game standard.
ARMS is an exciting, offbeat Nintendo Switch game that takes the tournament fighter genre and gives it a Splatoon-like quirky twist.
If you like block-dropping puzzles and own a Nintendo Switch, Puyo Puyo Tetris is a must-have game.
Narcosis provides a truly scary VR experience despite being a bit shallow in regards to its content and mechanics. Fans of horror games will definitely find something to enjoy.
Prey owes a lot to its heritage, but still offers some cool new twists on old ideas.. While it would've been nice to see Prey venture a little further from shore, the shooter provides a fantastic iteration of existing concepts, making it an Editors' Choice.
Saber Interactive's NBA Jam-a-like delivers monster dunks and a novel leveling system that enables this high-flying sports game to leap over at least some of its flaws.
Bayonetta is now on PC, and the new platform is the best place to experience (or re-experience) this classic action game. This port is the quintessential version of the game, delivering brilliant gameplay and excellent PC performance.
Guardians of the Galaxy is packed with Star-Lord and crew's humor and classic rock tunes, but this stiff point-and-click adventure game won't quite leave you hooked on a feeling.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the second must-buy game on the Nintendo Switch (after The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild), and it's the most comprehensive Mario Kart game to date.
The Disney Afternoon Collection bundles six NES-era, Capcom-developed Disney games into a compelling, inexpensive, and very fun little package.
Well-executed action and native mod support shine in this great looking, if brief, shooter that is sometimes mired by repetition.
There's very little here you haven't seen before. Sony has made tweaks, streamlined game modes, harkened back to the olden days, and added depth to The Show experience. However, if you're looking for a brand new experience, a revolutionary mode, or something that dramatically differentiates The Show 17 from the rest of the franchise, you're out of luck.
Despite its rougher edges, Mass Effect: Andromeda is a fine third-person shooter that features terrific space exploration. If you can overlook the clunky menus and graphics issues, you're in for some fun space hijinks.
Superb integration of the Oculus Rift and Touch controllers in the game helps make Superhot VR a cool and unique virtual reality experience, despite the inherent limitations of the hardware.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 rumbles onto PC years after its original, last-generation console release. Despite irritating infinite combos and a barren online lobby, it was worth the wait, thanks to fun fighting, included console DLC, and a wallet-friendly price.
Fresh out of a fun-filled beta period, Disc Jam brings exciting disc-tossing arcade sports action to the PC. Its core game is entertaining, but it lacks the polish found in other multiplayer sports titles.
Ghost Recon Wildlands does little to improve upon the familiar open-world, collect-a-thon formula, but its stealth-based action and cooperative multiplayer mode keep things fun.
Super Bomberman isn't the prettiest game in the long-running series, but its core multiplayer mayhem is as terrific as ever. [OpenCritic note: Jeffrey Wilson separately reviewed the PC (2.5 stars) and Switch (3.5 stars) versions. Their scores have been averaged.]
