A beautiful world of exhilarating gameplay that wants no more than to burst out with originality and excitement, which is marred by a want to rush to empty platitudes without thinking of the ripple effect it has on everything else.
A well-executed adventure with a lot of heart, Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story is an adventure full of spectacle and fun.
Total War: Pharaoh isn't a terrible game, but it's definitely not the grand return to the heyday of historical Total War games that fans have been desperately waiting for.
Alan Wake 2 takes you to the quiet locales of Washington and the streets of New York, places where darkness has taken root. Along the way, you can expect a tense and foreboding atmosphere, frantic action, and a memorable, mesmerizing romp. Sadly, there were several glaring issues that became prevalent during the course of this review.
Barring some physics and collision issues, Ghostrunner 2 is an action-packed follow-up to the original filled with exciting setpieces and satisfying action platforming.
Gargoyles Remastered is a well-polished experience shined up for both new and old fans, while sticking true to its 90s origins.
Fans of the original slow-burn thriller may not find much fulfillment here, but newcomers to Kona may find warmth in how polished Kona II: Brume's potentially unnecessary mechanics are at times.
World of Horror does an incredible job matching the 80s horror aesthetic in both look and gameplay. While the gameplay and some of the deeper mechanics are obtuse on first entry, through experimentation you'll find out just how deep this roguelike gets.
While the story, visuals, and sound are great, there's not much there to enjoy beyond that.
The Jackbox Party Pack 10 offers up mostly new games with one returning title. These games are some of Jackbox's best in a while and are sure to leave your party in stitches.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is a worthy successor with plenty of new cars and customization options, fun new game modes, and even a decent single-player campaign. It improves on many of its predecessor's faults, albeit still having a few of its own.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is not only another incredible entry into this franchise but the best one yet. Between improvements to traversal, an enthralling narrative, and a densely packed world, Insomniac has taken each element of their previous games and elevated it.
Wizard With A Gun mixes fast-paced isometric gun combat, immersive sim elements, and rewarding base management into an entertaining survival sandbox experience.
Sonic Superstars elevates 2D Sonic beyond nostalgia after a definitive greatest hits entry. With loads to unlock, satisfying levels of challenge, and a great selection of new Zones, Sonic Superstars has everything you could want from a new 2D Sonic.
Lords of the Fallen's shameless copy-paste approach to Dark Souls undermines its great level design and the potential evident in some of its boss encounters.
Cocoon is an approachable, clever, and consistently satisfying puzzle game that respects your intelligence and never leaves you stranded. If you have Xbox Game Pass, it's an essential title that's worth experiencing. (Review Policy)
In an ironic twist, what was once a shining jewel in Xbox’s catalog, and the apex of simulation, has now become a timid companion piece to the infinitely more fulfilling Forza Horizon.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is tight experience delivering a great example of non-linear gameplay, and a fantastic return to form. Unfortunately Basim's outing also emulated the technical difficulties we've come to expect from Assassin's Creed titles.
Knight vs Giant has good combat at its core that seems to have been unfortunately neglected for far too many upgrade systems that take too long to matter.
It might not be an actual Holy Grail War, Fate/Samurai Remnant's Waxing Moon Ritual delivers a bombastic, action-packed musou game with a narrative that gripped me for dozens of hours.
