PCMag's Reviews
A change of scenery does the Far Cry shooter series good. Primal's caveman drama, beast-taming, and prehistoric hunting are highly satisfying, even though we've tread this ground before. Can we get dinosaurs next, please?
Final Fantasy Explorers for the 3DS is an easy, accessible, and fairly shallow Final Fantasy-themed take on the monster-hunting game genre.
Although the console versions have slight advantages over this PC port, Mortal Kombat X's story, core gameplay and mechanics don't falter in comparison. If you're a PC-only gamer, this is the way to go.
Dynasty Warriors fans will know exactly what to expect from Arslan: The Warriors of Legend. Despite flashy visuals, great art, and a good story, the gameplay is par for the hack-and-slash course.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam is a fun action-RPG that blends two Mario worlds without trying much new.
League of Legends, the incredibly popular PC title from Riot Games, continues to shine as the crown jewel of the MOBA genre.
Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't very different from its predecessor, which is not necessarily a bad thing, since the core is solid. Expect more gun-toting heroism, crazy cults, and supernatural oddities.
If you can meet the game halfway, with its odd mechanics and silly plot, Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster is a worthwhile title that's been skillfully brought back to life.
Just Cause 3 is a big sandbox that lets you run around with a gun, a grappling hook, and a wing suit and blow up anything or anyone you want.
Dragon's Dogma nails combat and adventure, though it misses the mark somewhat with its story elements. If you overlook the game's rougher edges, you're in for great over-the-top action and high adventure.
Killer Is Dead: Nightmare Edition, developer Suda51's spiritual successor to Killer 7, boasts impressive, dark visuals and exciting combat, but ho-hum enemy and level design prevent it from slaying the competition.
Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard's attempt to bring multiplayer online battle arenas to the masses, and it succeeds, which isn't necessarily a good thing.
Rocket League offers fantastic, over-the-top fun that anyone can enjoy, yet it's also nuanced enough to be a highly competitive game.
Xenoblade Chronicles X is the biggest and best-looking exclusive to come to the Nintendo Wii U yet.
Dead or Alive 5: Last Round gives Steam users a new and complex fighting game to add to their libraries, but the abysmal online play limits the fun and lasting appeal.
Star Wars: Battlefront is a decent shooter that injects a handful of gimmicks to keep the gameplay interesting. However a lack of variety in the maps, game modes, guns, and character development prevents the game from reaching its potential.
Guitar Hero Live adds some new ideas to the plastic instrument-driven music game genre, but it makes too many mistakes to overlook.
Rock Band 4 is the same fun game driven by plastic instruments as you remember, just for current game consoles.
Patched into playable form, the formerly broken Ultra Street Fighter IV is now one of the PC's premier fighting games.
For better or worse, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is exactly the straightforward big-budget shooter you expect, offering entertaining gunplay, a ridiculous (but fun) campaign, and deep online multiplayer with a bevy of game modes.
