Hitman 3 does an excellent job of wrapping up the World of Assassination Trilogy, pairing the predictable yet enjoyable narrative with the refined and forever reliable Hitman gameplay
While it’s nice to have back what’s become something of a legend in its absence, you know what they say about meeting your heroes
I can’t say that I didn’t enjoy the majority of my time in Night City but for every step forward, the game takes one or two back. And then clips through the floor, and blames it on a woman. And then crashes.
Twin Mirror is another compelling DONTNOD experience that is backed by some of its finest gameplay yet
Immortals is more than just a fun open-world with slick combat and massive Breath of the Wild vibes, it's also a superbly written and legitimately funny take on Greek mythology. This is one of Ubisoft's best games in years
The beating heart of the Call of Duty experience in terms of multiplayer feels like a solid return to the classic formula, but abundant technical issues make this a worrying stumble into a new generation
The game manages to capture an enjoyable gameplay loop when many of its errant factors align, and its narrative is a fun little cartoon romp…but the enjoyable moments are fighting to rise above a mire of mediocrity that threatens to swallow the entire title up
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity impresses with its narrative and fun hack and slash action from the offset, but dreadful performance and repetitive gameplay ultimately stifle its impact
It is my sincerest of hopes that this shaky start is just an anomaly for Bungie’s new direction, but the game’s state ever since Shadowkeep also leads me to believe otherwise
If you never got to experience DropMix, this is an even better extension of Harmonix' incredible mixing technology, just be prepared to invest serious time and dollars to get the full experience
Sackboy: A Big Adventure is a thoroughly entertaining 3D platformer that is a joy to see, hear and play
Despite some minor issues, Bright Memory is a taste of what’s to come next year from Bright Memory: Infinite and I couldn’t be more excited
More than a tech demo or a fleeting curiosity, Astro's Playroom is a phenomenal game in its own right that paints a bright future for both the PlayStation 5 and Astro himself
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is a heavenly combination of realistic farming, combat and exploration served with a hearty side of great characters and writing
Valhalla brilliantly mixes brutal combat with satisfying stealth to offer up a package that ticks many open-world boxes that are so often missed
Miles Morales is a worthy standalone addition to Insomniac's excellent Spider-Man game and a compelling part of the PlayStation 5 launch lineup, even if it does seem a little pricey
With a surprisingly good narrative that excels thanks to the unique ability to turn anyone into a DedSec hacker, Watch Dogs: Legion is a damn good time
It can be a frustrating bloody thing at times, but when it picks up steam Ghostrunner is a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride that delivers on its cyberpunk stylings and repays patience with a dystopia-grade injection of dopamine
The gameplay, presentation and depth are all strong with the force, but one of the two multiplayer modes keeps this space dogfighter from achieving the rank of master
A fantastic reason to break the trilogy and fill out a comfy quadrilogy (or if we are lucky, pentalogy)
