I don't exactly know what is different between current Sea of Thieves and day one Sea of Thieves, but the issues I have with the current version of this game are similar to the ones other had back in early 2018. The missions are dull, money is meaningless, and any positive experience with this game feels fleeting.
Remnant: From the Ashes is a game that wears its inspirations on its sleeve while at the same time being unique. The story falls flat and bosses rely too heavily on common enemies, but this game is still a blast to play and something I can get a lot of hours out of.
The Tomb Raider reboot trilogy finishes off strong with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the darkest game out of the three.
Blair Witch goes beyond being a cheap movie game by delivering a thoughtful character and unique game mechanics, making this a solid horror game worth remembering.
While there is something to be said about the game’s combat and Arabian setting, the frustrating amount of traps and repetitive gameplay makes City of Brass hard to play, and the lack of upgrades makes it hard to come back.
The best parts of Get Even can be found in its gripping story and incredible soundtrack. Just don't go in expecting good gameplay.
Supraland is a melting pot of mechanics and inspirations, and all of them blend together into one great package with great level design and fantastic puzzles.
Void Bastards is a fun romp through space, mixing rogue-lite elements with a surprisingly smart shooter.
Shakedown: Hawaii combines a fun top-down GTA world with a business sim to good effect; and although the game falls flat towards the end, my time on the island was a blast.
Even though this game is familiar, World War Z offers a solid co-op action experience with its impressive zombie hordes and class abilities. It is a Left 4 Dead game with reason to go back.
Resident Evil 2 is a great example of how to remake an older game by keeping enough of the original game's core while implementing enough new mechanics to modernize it. The end product is everything I wanted out of a Resident Evil game and more.
Return of the Obra Dinn is a great blend of style, story, and unique puzzle solving mechanics, creating an experience that is both incredible and unforgettable.
RICO combines rogue-lite elements and slow motion action to create a satisfying gameplay loop that can be revisited time and time again.
Metro Exodus is the best in the series, offering a perfect blend of old and new gameplay mechanics as well as a much more grounded story diving deeper into the people that inhabit the game's post-apocalyptic Russia
What starts as an inoffensively dull game turns into a repetitive and frustrating mess filled with technical issues, terrible combat, and an uninteresting story.
It isn't the best shooter ever, but Bulletstorm offers fun arcade FPS action with a surprising amount of creativity to the combat. Now if only I could creatively kill its annoying dialogue...
You may think the apocalypse is the end, but Sunset Overdrive does something unique by making it the beginning with clever and funny writing, a punk rock mixed with comic book style, and fun traversal abilities.
More of the same can be a good thing, and Hitman 2 does that by offering more of what makes the first game so incredible, with some extras added on the side.
While the game can be fun at times, Overkill's The Walking Dead is bogged down by technical issues, repetitive side content, and the inability to have fun while playing solo.
Black Ops 4 is the biggest change to the formula in recent Call of Duty history, and in large part is for the better. Blackout is a suitable replacement for the single player campaign, zombies has seen meaningful changes to its meta-game, and multiplayer is more of the same great thing.
