With a steady stream of objectives, tons of customization options, and an irresistible loop of discovery and optimization, Two Point Museum is one of the most satisfying and replayable management sims I’ve played in a long time.
If Monster Hunter World was Capcom's attempt at making their ever-growing franchise more accessible to a bigger audience, Monster Hunter Wilds pretty much perfects it, providing an entry that's sure to satisfy longtime fans and create new ones as well.
Lost Records Bloom and Rage (Tape 1) not only recaptures the magic of DON’T NOD'S lightning in a bottle, but it enhances it in every way.
Avowed is superb, with true RPG goodness, real choices, deep systems, fun combat, and a true understanding and reverence of Eora.
Odd Bug Studio has crafted another superb adventure with Tails of Iron 2: Whiskers of Winter. It’s nearly everything you’d want out of a sequel. It builds upon a solid foundation while expanding key aspects of the world, story, and combat in meaningful ways.
While I feel the game’s story could have been stronger and the main melee combat could have been less clunky, when Eternal Strands' magic starts flying around and its gameplay inspirations coalesce, I see an absolutely solid foundation to keep building upon.
Path of Exile fans should be very excited. ARPG fans who are yet to be Path of Exile fans will be converted. And players who are new to loot-based ARPGs will find a new series to love.
MythWrecked: Ambrosia Island‘s unique take on the mythology of ancient Greek gods is as fascinating as it is refreshing.
Veilguard is a remarkable story with charming companions, excellent use of the tie-in media over the decade since Inquisition with some important characters originating from them, and a combat system that, while I did not and do not like it, I can recognize as high quality.
I really appreciate Square-Enix going the extra mile to ensure one of the JRPG genre’s most celebrated early examples is available with a lot of thought and effort put into it.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure is the sequel that nobody expected or really wanted, and yet it is exactly what the fans of the franchise deserved.
While it may not deliver heart-pounding challenges or intricate game mechanics, its charm lies in its simplicity, accessibility, and narrative depth. Cozy Game Pals have crafted a game that evokes the spirit of ’90s survival horror without feeling like a direct imitation.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a true return to form for Treyarch and a great showpiece for Raven Software.
Both The Lake House and the Night Springs DLC packs feel like slightly flawed but well deserved victory laps for this long-in-development project.
As Nomada Studio’s second entry, Neva succeeds in delivering what all studios dream of. Refined controls, a strong art style, and a heart-wrenching narrative. Put simply, it is a perfect intersection between art and interactivity.
A strong opening and a great setting are unfortunately let down by a less than engaging story.
Vessel of Hatred is superb. With new content and foundational updates, it represents the most fun, approachable, and deepest version of Diablo 4 to date.
Frostpunk 2 is a masterpiece of a sequel that I see myself playing a whole lot more of, and I’m nudging my friends to play as well.
With a lack of variety in enemy AI, frustrating exploration, underwhelming sound design, and an abundance of bugs, Pneumata was a game I had a hard time enjoying.
Ara: History Untold winds up being a mixed bag that doesn’t quite reach the lofty heights it had set its sights on, but the future for the game looks bright.
