Diablo IV might just go down as one of Blizzard's best games. It delivers exciting and accessible ARPG gameplay, a stunning world and engaging narrative to experience, and so many activities to keep you hooked for hours on end.
The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a great game for hardcore Middle-earth fans, but an experience that didn't do Gollum's character justice.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom manages to maintain the sense of adventure that Breath of the Wild instilled but elevate it even further with the implementation of deep new crafting mechanics and abilities while specifically addressing and improving the weapon system, difficulty, and story.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun rivals the brutality of Doom Eternal and offers up a deadly arsenal of satisfying weapons and absolutely outstanding level design.
Planet of Lana is a perfectly fine, if strangely unambitious, cinematic platformer, hitting all the right notes without writing a new song.
Hunt the Night wastes its potential with bad combat and a world that isn't fully realized.
Ravenlok is a cute and short game where you play as a girl who stumbles into a magical world and finds out she's destined to save it. The combat is shallow but functional, and the game's charm is through its interwoven quests and gorgeous environments.
Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores has a strong character story at its center, but not much when it comes to new content.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor expands on the foundations of its predecessor by crafting a bigger, more fleshed-out, and customizable Jedi experience.
Cassette Beasts blends the best of JRPGs and monster taming games to create something new, and it pays off incredibly well. While the story may be on the shorter side for JRPG lovers, there's more than enough to love about the game. (Review Policy)
Afterimage is a vibrant and vast Metroidvania adventure that rewards you the more you dig into it. A must play for fans of the genre. (Review Policy)
Amanda the Adventurer will not please everyone, but it's a very niche experience. Hardcore horror fans who want a shorter experience and analog horror elements will have found their perfect title. (Review Policy)
Otxo is streamlined almost to a fault, but its got incredibly rewarding combat, fluid movement, and a great horror-inflected aesthetic. (Review Policy)
A near-perfect rendition of fairytales with a modern twist, Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus & Butterfly is easily one of 2023's best narrative efforts, with consistently engaging gameplay alongside it.
Dead Island 2 manages to pull off an incredibly fun experience, and delivers on some of the missed promise of the first title. That said, there's not much here beyond hyper-active zombie slaying, so if that's not your bag you probably wont enjoy it.
The Mageseeker: A League of Legends story is an epic tale with weighty combat. I grew attached to Sylas and was left yearning for more combat and lore.
Everspace 2 tells an interesting story in a massive galaxy that's worth exploring, even if the limitations of its scope creep in from time to time.
Assault Suits Valken DECLASSIFIED is a cracking re-release of an already excellent action game. With the story fully localized and uncensored, fans of the genre need to give this smooth-playing game a try. (Review Policy)
Terra-Nil is a short and sweet relaxing builder game about restoring barren lands.
