Pyre's wit and whimsy effortlessly usher you into a captivating world of punishment, sacrifice, and competition.
Splatoon 2 is a fresh, vibrant sequel that introduces smart updates to the original's unique formula.
The Rise of the Necromancer DLC offers a great new character class for Diablo III--but is it enough to keep the five-year-old game afloat?

Rakuen's unique setting and sweet sensibilities make up for its technical shortcomings.
The Mage's Tale attempts to bring classic PC dungeon crawling into virtual reality, but disappoints at nearly every turn.
Ever Oasis' tight blend of mechanics and activities are bound to keep you coming back for more well after completing it, if only to see what else you can do to develop your desert sanctuary. While the game's story isn't particularly moving, the consistent gratification of its incisive design makes it a satisfying adventure. Ever Oasis takes time to grow, but the return is well worth the wait.
While satisfying at times, poor story presentation and an abundance of superfluous elements make Valkyria Revolution less than the sum of its parts.
It's still somewhat thrilling to inhabit the captain's chair on the bridge of a starship--at the bare minimum, Star Trek: Bridge Crew accomplishes that mission. When the game is at its best, the spirit of cooperation between various asymmetrical elements is encouraging--even special. In every other regard, however, Bridge Crew is forgettable the second you pull out of VR.
With all of the extras added in the various expansion packs, the game now feels a little more like a municipal engineer or municipal planner simulation than anything that properly depicts what it's like to be the mayor overseeing everything. Even with that caveat, Mass Transit adds more character and depth to what's already the premier city-building simulation.
The Farm 51's psychological thriller tells a story you won't forget.
The spirit of Robotron lives again in Housemarque's brilliant and blistering Nex Machina.
Surviving in Impact Winter's brutally cold apocalypse makes for a tense adventure, but it's marred by a number of technical problems that exacerbate an already arduous task.

The Fidelio Incident can be a beautiful and touching game, but it's too often bogged down by shallow objectives.
The second episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series takes on a slower pace with more focus on characters (and drama).
The Town of Light examines mental illnesses and the hospitals meant to treat them in the early 1900s, but ultimately fails to stick the landing.
Arms' unique take on fighting can be hard to adjust to, but once you do, it's a surprisingly deep fighter that has you thinking on your feet.
