Without a Dawn might be brief and lack substantive interactivity, but it succeeds as a deeply atmospheric, handcrafted experience.
There’s so much that can be said about how special Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is, from its evocative exploration of grief, its incredible combat system, its artistic presentation, and its emotionally stirring soundtrack.
Post Trauma succeeds in crafting a world that feels oppressive, broken, and painfully human. It stumbles with its combat and some narrative clarity, but its emotional core, the exploration of guilt, forgiveness, and the fight for redemption, is solid.
The latest in a line of solid soulvanias, Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is a gritty challenge that rises to the occasion.
Look Outside stands out as a must play for survival horror fans. It’s tense, grotesque, funny, and genuinely unique.
Despite some faults, the gorgeous world, its inhabitants, and the stories being told, however, were absolutely enough to help the game overcome its few faults and make South of Midnight a journey worth embarking on.
Karma Dark World isn't a game for everyone. But if you do love experiencing a strong narrative and cinematic gameplay, you owe it to yourself to experience this gem.
An authentically hardcore FPS where every win feels earned, Atomfall will be heavily enjoyed by fans of the genre despite a few shortcomings.
It may not provide the shift in design philosophy and approach to the franchise that its long gestation period suggests, but it's a solid step forward for the series. If you’ve ever enjoyed one of these games before, I’d be hard pressed to imagine you not enjoying this one.
Wanderstop, the video game, is one of the most important works of our time. The way it succinctly portrays burnout unlike any other piece of media is exceptional.
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.
