PCMag's Reviews
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.]
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the biggest, most impressive Zelda game yet, and a fantastic launch title for the Nintendo Switch.
Packed with tense, weapon-based action, For Honor is a fun combat title that shines in its many multiplayer modes. That said, its online requirement and loot system dim its shine a bit.
Halo Wars 2 is an RTS for the layman. Easy-to-learn mechanics and basic micromanagement keep the game interesting and engaging, but it lacks the strategic depth to keep hardcore RTS fans invested for long.
Retro to a fault, the throwback Double Dragon 4 brings the best and worst of the NES era to contemporary PC gamers.
Despite the change in perspective, Resident Evil VII is a triumphant return to form, delivering the tense action and classic B-movie camp that made the series iconic.
Capcom's attempt to revitalize the Dead Rising series, by giving it contemporary Western-style controls and gameplay, strips the title of the rough charm that made previous zombie-killing installments joyous experiences.
The classic RPG series returns with numerous labyrinths, brutal challenges, and plenty of old-school charm. Its visuals are dated, but don't let that deter you from experiencing one of the finest action-RPGs on PC.
Boasting tons of fun weapons, eight unique playable characters, and a novel team-based combat option, Shock Troopers is one of the best run-and-gun shooters for the PC.
Not for the faint of heart, DoDonPachi Resurrection is a classic, tough-as-nails shoot 'em up that boasts a complex but incredibly satisfying combat system for single or two-player alien-blasting action.
Skyrim is still a rock-solid RPG that's worth purchasing if you missed vanilla Skyrim. That said, if you already own and mod the original game, Skyrim Special Edition has nothing fresh to offer.
One of the best fighting games ever made finally receives a Steam port. It isn't a perfect representation of the classic fighter, but the strategic, combo-friendly gameplay remains intact.
Final fantasy XV has solid open-world exploration, enjoyable action, and plenty of content, but it's packaged together with awkward gameplay decisions and a mess of a story.
The newest Pokemon generation, Sun/Moon for the Nintendo 3DS, tweaks and polishes the series' core concepts and remixes enough ideas to feel fresh without making any wild, polarizing changes to the formula.
By letting kids create their own Skylanders, Imaginators is the biggest step forward in the video game series yet.
Frigid racism, heated mob violence, and tepid gameplay make for an interesting, but fairly mediocre, entry in the Mafia series.
