From the more simplified and streamlined combat and upgrade systems to the lack of weapons and gear deterioration, Fenyx Rising allows players to simply focus on the journey and all the joy and sense of wonder that comes with it. With the year we've all had in 2020, I don't know what more gamers could ask for from a new IP in an industry consistently drowning in an ocean or reboots, remakes, and remasters.
The gameplay is decent, but Chronos' substandard graphics and lack of innovation means it fails to stand out amidst an increasingly crowded genre.
You genuinely never know what to expect from Sally Face from start to finish- in the story, from the gameplay, and from the characters- but what you can always know is that you’ll be hooked to the very end.
Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla is a great viking game, but a poor Assassin’s Creed game
Yakuza: Like a Dragon lives up to the monumental legacy of its predecessors but isn't afraid to strike out and carve a bold new identity of its own.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a polished hack-and-slash that nails a satisfying blend of strategy and action, straying from its inspiration in many great ways.
While not as long or immersive as its predecessor, Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a strong entry in what promises to be an excellent franchise worthy of the Spider-Man name.
Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is an extremely endearing homage to a much-beloved series, though it suffers from some clunky platforming and a lack of inventive locations.
If you love Fallout universe, now is the best time to return. There are much more to look forward to in the future for sure.
While suffering from technical issues, the campaign treads new ground as the rest of the game does little to evolve the franchise.
Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory isn't perfect, but the fanservice is so good, I can almost overlook my disappointment in Kingdom Hearts 3.
The Cobra Kai video game is definitely not the best around, but it brings honor to a classic genre that keeps fighting.
A competent and charmingly designed 3D beat 'em up that is, unfortunately, weighed down by shallow mechanics, lackluster writing, and tired anime tropes.
With a forgettable story and a critical lack of gameplay depth, The Falconeer fails to realize its potential.
Darkwood is a masterpiece of the horror genre and at once accessible to wannabe horror gamers and harrowing to fear junkies.
The Dark Pictures Anthology continues to hold much potential, but Little Hope's shortcomings show that Supermassive Games hasn't nailed their special formula just yet.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe's main strength is the incredible quality of the original game, though the lack of many additional features makes the "deluxe" ring a little hollow.
Halo Wars 2 is a fine RTS that sadly could not make an RTS fan out of me.
Though flawed, Ghostrunner is a quality shout-out to fans of ninjas, speedrunning, and Mirror's Edge.
Star Wars: Squadrons lets fans live their dreams of being a pilot, successfully immersing us in a galaxy far, far away.
