God of War Ragnarok is a must-play. There are no two ways about it. It is one of the best games out there. So I hope for your sake you don’t get spoiled and enjoy the game for the first time like a lot of us reviewers did and the way the devs wanted you to experience it.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut on the PS5 is THE best way to experience this game. Iki Island offers roughly 8-10 hours of content for you to explore and is perfect for those who wanted more Tsushima. However, if you were lukewarm on the base game, then I feel you might not find what you’re looking for here because it’s more of the same. That isn’t a bad thing because that is exactly what I wanted after I originally beat the game. There’s more to explore, more Mythic Tales to uncover, more gorgeous vistas to gaze upon, and most importantly, more foxes to pet AND give belly rubs to.
Life is Strange: True Colors has got a lot of heart, fun and interesting characters, a great soundtrack and it’s trying to spread the message about something the world desperately needs right now. Just a bit of Empathy for each other.
It’s almost hard to believe that Housemarque have created their first third-person shooter with Returnal. Yet in doing so, they've instantly catapulted themselves to the top of the heap of action shooter developers.
It Takes Two’s blistering pace, tight controls, and addictive platforming blend together into one of the most delightful co-op games in years.
While “Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection” doesn’t quite live up to the series’ peaks, it offers enough of a brutal, satisfying challenge to honor the “Ghosts ‘n Goblins” name.
After playing through Little Nightmares II, I was left scratching my head. It is creepy, bizarre, and utterly brilliant.
The single-player campaign of Call Of Duty Black Ops Cold War is a modernized return to form and serves as a treat to the fans who used to care about the game’s single-player mode prior to the Advanced Warfare era.
A refreshing Assassin's Creed experience that is a must-play for newer and older fans. With an intriguing plotline, no grind and a world filled with interesting characters, Valhalla's glory is only held back by the engine and technical issues that also plagued its predecessors.
“Miles Morales” is one of the year’s best escapist entertainments, replete with stand-out combat, an engaging story and a well-designed open world.
Dirt 5 is a solid arcade experience filled with fun moments that is unfortunately held back by it's technical issues in its current state.
Watch Dogs: Legion's carefully crafted simulation of London, along with the creative set of tools it provides the player to navigate that world, make this gloomy future worth visiting.
For such a young studio, still finding its way in 2020’s complex gaming landscape, “Raji” is a strong foundation to build on.
Crusader Kings III remains as inscrutable as its ancestor. But it is a whole new brand of fun, folly, and misery.
Ghost of Tsushima is an enjoyable but muddled experience: its strong gameplay fundamentals are hampered by a lack of originality and weak storytelling.
Sprawling, unrelenting, but always fascinating, The Last of Us Part II is a disturbingly effective fable.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a powerful experience, and signals the first chapter in what is beginning to reveal itself as a considerable epic.
In those halcyon days for Valve, there was no way of knowing that Half-Life fans would have to wait more than a decade for a new entry in the hallowed franchise. But twelve years, five months, and thirteen days later, a strange thing happened: a new Half-Life game released. It’s called Half-Life: Alyx, and it’s brilliant.
Kentucky Route Zero feels breathtakingly original. For something this powerful to exist in any medium would be a triumph. But for it to exist now, as an interactive narrative drawn with striking visuals, meaningful choices, and moving music, feels more like a miracle.
