Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has real potential, but a lackluster campaign and frustrating design decisions make for an experience we've seen done better before.
Looking for something even weirder than Torment and with even more character customization options? Disco Elysium is RPG of the year. Hell, maybe even the decade.
The Outer Worlds is a goofy, full to the brim RPG that liberally samples from other giants in the genre. It's a fun romp through a neon universe.
Atelier Ryza is the best Atelier game to date, with some much-needed improvements that make for a more compelling package on the whole.
Vampyr didn't generate much buzz last year on other platforms, but on Switch this fall, it stands as an overlooked but great RPG dripping with blood and atmosphere.
Ring Fit Adventure may be the best exercise video game, blending strength and aerobics training into an impeccably designed package.
While very linear and completely devoid of replayability, Moons of Madness scratches that Lovecraft itch, melding science fiction and horror together extremely well.
Indivisible brings its own mix of genres, packed with the best group of characters in years.
The Witcher 3 on Switch is clearly the least visually impressive version of a great game, but it's one of the greatest RPGs ever, now made portable, and that's just too cool to miss.
Doraemon: Story of Seasons borrows from both franchises while managing to be a stand-out farm-sim game in its own right.
Space Robinson: Hardcore Roguelike Action doesn't disappoint with its shoot 'em up gameplay, but it doesn't innovate, either.
Though it's a bit more survival-focused than other games of its kind, Stranded Sails is still a mostly quaint and worthwhile farm life sim any genre fan will enjoy.
A Knight's Quest has a good foundation, but it relies too heavily on a borrowed identity and suffers from technical issues and a bit of tedium.
Trails of Cold Steel 3 is a masterclass in storytelling that improves nearly everything in the franchise's history.
Stela will be a familiar experience for those who've played Limbo and Inside. That doesn't mean it lacks its own merits, though it does try to imitate those Playdead classics a bit too much.
Valfairs is as metal as they come. It's tough, gory, and a lot of fun with an amazing soundtrack. It's just a shame it doesn't tread much new ground.
The puzzles and banter are as good as they've ever been, though Trine 4 has a hard time overcoming some dodgy combat mechanics.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint is an average, functional open-world shooter, but not much more.
The GRID reboot finds itself in a no-man's land of racing games: it's neither granular nor friendly enough.
If you like strategy games, then this is one you'll not want to miss. For everyone else, this could well be the one that casts a spell on you.
