Star News's Reviews
Gears 5 is the best looking the series has ever been, and that's maybe the least of the improvements here.
NHL 20 has some minor issues but plays a fun game of hockey. RPM Tech 2.0 is a revolution for the game’s controls, eliminating most of gamer’s complaints, at least on that front.
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint proves adding more isn’t always better, with the addition of half-baked loot and survival mechanics that don’t really provide anything of note to the game.
If you’re a fan of grinding, and I mean the fun kind of ‘I wonder how far I can take this’ grinding, then you’re going to LOVE Disgaea 4 Complete+.
Valfaris commits wholeheartedly to the heavy metal aesthetic and that yields some really wild boss fights and a soundtrack you won’t forget any time soon.
Inventory management, encumbrance limits, ridiculous story, fetch quests galore, and never-ending cutscenes. The absolute inverse of everything I want in a game.
Charming and quirky, with a great soundtrack, Sparklite will hit gamers who grew up with 8-bit and 16-bit games with a giant shot of nostalgia.

The Zombie Army games are a guilty pleasure, but they’re a pleasure nonetheless.
Darksiders Genesis is a ton of fun with a friend, but still a wonderfully competent and fun experience for solo players. Gathering Cores and playing through the Arena offer up some longevity to the experience as well.

Watch Dogs: Legion sticks you in the shoes of characters you’d never have chosen otherwise, and it works more often than it doesn’t.
