GameSpot's Reviews
Lots of work has gone into Nightwar since its first release, and the balancing improvements make it an easy game to recommend on all platforms.
A meditative, breezy puzzle adventure game that's light on challenge, but likely to stick with you after you finish it.
Destiny 2: Warmind is geared toward high-level players, but it offers little in the way of motivation while you grind levels to get to the endgame.
Ship management and naval battles fit neatly into the dark fantasy setting of Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire.
City of Brass is a good dungeon crawler, with some of its best moments and mechanics derived from its rendition of an Arabian Nights theme. While its repetitive scenery and uneven presentation are noticeable tarnishes on its sheen, the satisfying combat and well-balanced difficulty curve will keep you going back for more.
Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia makes a hearty meal out of pig-sticking, pillaging, and politics.
Tropical Freeze is another wonderful Donkey Kong Country game, and it's better than ever on Switch.
Nintendo Labo is a great tool for learning and creation, but the games themselves lack lasting appeal.
Battletech's brand of mechanized tactics is as deep as it is slow. But with patience and attention, its detailed mechanics and tonal presentation are incredibly rewarding.
Jaw dropping beauty and a hefty challenge await you in in the hallowed realm of Jotun.
The Invisible Hours is less about solving a murder and more about appreciating the interwoven stories of its compelling characters.
This compact action-RPG will charm you for days on end.
Frostpunk is a brutal city-survival sim that thrives on forcing you to make tough choices in harrowing scenarios.
Good pacing, engaging mechanics, and an interesting setting help make The Alliance Alive a noteworthy RPG.
Before the Storm is an impactful prequel that accomplishes something very different than the original Life is Strange.
Penny-Punching Princess is a solid, often fun brawler, but its emphasis on grinding and repetition make it too easy to step away from.
God of War is every bit the over-the-top action game you expect, but it's the story and setting that end up stealing the show.
Extinction is a clumsy and frustrating game that struggles to put its potential to good use.
Fortnite: Battle Royale offers lots of depth with a fun and unique take on the last-person-standing premise.
With smart changes to exploration, discovery, and progression, Far Cry 5 makes engaging and experimenting with its gorgeous open world more exciting than ever.
