Star Wars: Galactic Racer delivers wizard racing, unique vehicle customization, and plenty of reasons to keep playing beyond its campaign… Fuse Games has made Star Wars racing worth getting excited about again, and I hope they don’t have to wait another generation for the chance to build on it
Gears of War: E-Day shines by showing off humanity’s perseverance. Every new character stands out, never overshadowed by the legacy of Marcus or Dom.
Ghost of Yotei Complete Edition is easily the definitive version of the experience. It gives fans more to do in an already fantastic experience, filling in pieces of history that are genuinely interesting to learn about.
End of Abyss tries to balance a lot, from sci-fi survival horror with souls-like metroidvania exploration. But it buckles under its own weight.
Toem 2 is another delightful photographic journey that tells us all to slow down as well as explores the power of community.
Transport Fever 3 is a massive game with plenty to offer and tons of fun, especially for genre fans. With a significantly improved UI and streamlined systems, new players can enter the franchise and veterans can focus on more important things than sifting through menus…
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve still has some growing to do on the ground, with a story that never quite lands its biggest ideas and first-person scenes that keep you out of the cockpit longer than they should. Once you're in the air, though, it's the best Ace Combat has ever felt.
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter is the payoff 1st Chapter was building toward. The dungeons and backtracking keep it just short of perfect, but the storytelling and presentation are as good as RPGs get right now.
EA Sports FC 27 rewards the people who put time into it. The defending and transfer overhauls carry the year, even where The Grounds hasn’t backed up its ambition with substance.
Pokémon Pokopia Expansion Pass Part 1 – Bubbly Basin is an easy recommendation for those who love the base game.
Control Resonant is absolutely worth the wait. Some of the open-world aspects put strain on the exploration but, there’s enough curiosities and compelling events both in that world and in the combat design to recover every time fatigue begins to set in.
The Dune: Awakening console launch is exciting. The console experience largely matches what players have on PC, but its single-player mode also opens the door to more players who want to play alone without sacrificing quality for them or the game’s existing multiplayer base.
This is a turn-your-brain-off-and-go-for-a-ride spectacle that occasionally punches above its weight. That works to some extent, but Marvel’s Wolverine doesn’t live up to the creative standard Insomniac Games is known for, and Logan has never been known for playing it safe.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is a Hot Wheels fan’s dream. Best of all, it does the Hot Wheels brand even more justice.
NHL 27's same old modes feel tired, and the gameplay feels ornery.
Whether it's the visuals, a puzzle's solution, or bumping into a screaming alien creature, Orbitals is awe-inspiring.
While its less-than-stellar features can be a game-breaker for some, Crimson Moon is an engaging, unique game that offers several great features.
Ultimately, any time you might spend on Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is better spent elsewhere. Any momentum built up in enjoying the game is derailed instantly when a bug forces you or a teammate out of the game, and the impressive visuals aren’t enough to make up for it.
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a fantastic RPG worthy of diving and sinking your fangs into again and again.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a great return for the franchise. Musashi is a fantastic new lead, with a supporting cast that shines.
