Cadence and friends return in Rift of the NecroDancer, a full-fledged rhythm game that uses Crypt of the NecroDancer's specialties to its advantage.
The singular art style, haunting setting, and tricky mechanics found in The Stone of Madness make it a unique entry to the tactical stealth genre.
The 12th and latest entry in the franchise, Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn't break the wheel by any means, but it does exactly what it needs to.
Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap has a few screws that could be tightened, but is overall a strong continuation of the series' action-strategy gameplay.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is the best way to experience one of the best 2D platformers ever, but it's a little too expensive.
Released 25 years ago, Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles is a divisive game, and Aspyr's modern port doesn't do much to make it a must-play.
Tales of Graces f Remastered frees the PS3 classic from its console exclusivity, bringing one of the series' best entries to modern hardware.
A roguelite Soulslike inspired by many beloved dark and dreary PS1 classics, Tyrant's Realm is easy to pick up and tough to master.
Simple, sleek, and endlessly rewarding, Dynasty Warriors Origins is a huge improvement over previous entries, and the best musuo game of the decade.
Freedom Wars Remastered's extensive endgame will give players plenty of time to fight countless Abductors and really immerse themselves in the gameplay loop. One could argue that the "real" game begins once Freedom Wars Remastered's story is over, and as long as one enjoys these kinds of Monster Hunter-style games, they will get their money's worth and then some, especially if they dive into the online co-op and PvP offerings. It's rough around the edges in some areas, but Freedom Wars Remastered is a mostly engaging action-RPG with an addictive gameplay loop that makes it hard to stop playing.
Alien: Rogue Incursion's miserable second half ruins what would have otherwise been a solid virtual reality gaming experience.
Gust and Koei Tecmo's Fairy Tail 2 does a great job of enveloping players in the story of the anime, even if its mechanics leave a bit to be desired.
Marvel Rivals' deep roster of 33 characters keeps battles fresh and exciting, with enough variety here that I don't know if I'll ever get bored, especially if the new characters and maps come at a regular pace.
Even if its competitors do what it does better, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is still a rollicking good time that no one will regret experiencing.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered offers, in many ways, the same things that the original Soul Reavers did: a compelling, grand narrative, a unique world to dissect, incredible atmosphere, et cetera. For that alone, this remaster is worth purchasing, as it is essentially the "definitive" version to play these games.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle offers some of the best puzzling and tomb-raiding in a video game, matching Spielberg's films in many respects.
After over 50 hours with Path of Exile 2's early access, I feel I've only scratched the surface of what could become one of the best ARPGs ever made.
Behemoth is a breathtaking VR action-adventure game that is a must-buy for anyone with a compatible virtual reality headset.
It may not have the same narrative pull as games like Hades (despite having a compelling setup to do so), but Ravenswatch places its focus on combat. Admittedly, the moment-to-moment gameplay and impressively large pool of upgrades and run modifiers is what made Passtech's last roguelike, Curse of the Dead Gods, such a surprise hit among fans of the genre. Ravenswatch only improves on that formula while also continuing Passtech's trademark panache for beautiful cel-shaded visuals and eye-catching animations. It might still need some wrinkles ironed out in terms of its balance and difficulty, but otherwise, Ravenswatch is a strong action roguelike and a worthwhile entry into the increasingly crowded genre.
After spending 55 hours in the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, I have no qualms recommending STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl to post-apocalyptic enthusiasts.
