Metaphor: ReFantazio is a masterful RPG that defies expectations, and it's the pinnacle of its genre. Players are plunged into an amazing and complex fantasy setting as a protagonist setting out to right the wrongs of its kingdom: the United Kingdom of Euchronia. Along the way, players meet several well-written characters, including a tremendous threat of a villain. ATLUS refined and perfected the calendar and turn-based battle systems to create an all-time classic. This is absolute brilliance.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is an outstanding game that is a joy to play. The newly added gameplay mechanics makes the game feel fresh and new. By no means is Luigi's Mansion 3 "Boo-ring"!
Whether you like or dislike strategy games or JRPGs in general, if you value good writing, engaging characters and genuinely good gameplay, please, do not pass on this game.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards is a downright classic that is on par with the other Shovel Knight games. With the inclusion of the new mini-game Joustus, King of Cards has everything you can ask for.
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is absolutely the definitive way to experience this masterpiece. The new improvements are absolutely welcomed, and add much needed ease of access to the game. The remastered soundtrack is an absolute joy to listen to, and although Future Connected didn't quite live up to the hype, is still an enjoyable side story.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury is an incredible package, offering two incredibly high quality Mario games. The addition of online multiplayer truly excels the experience of playing through the game to the next level, and with the fantastic level design, soundtrack, and amount of mechanics, 3D World truly is the best it has ever been. Bowser's Fury is a wonderful new take on 3D Mario, offering a vast open world for players to explore over time.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is an adrenaline fueled button masher that calls back to its early-2000’s predecessors with great gameplay and awesome visuals. Barring the occasional frame rate dips, this game is great on the go or on your TV at home.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a fantastic first attempt at recreating what made the original so special, but the price of its ambition shows with a lack of polish in some areas.
Streets of Rage 4 is a worthy follow-up to the original Streets of Rage trilogy. Highly recommended for both old and newcomers.
Death Stranding does exactly what it set out to do - create an experience like nothing else on the market that is fresh and extremely thought provoking. It is one of the most ambitious titles I have ever played through. The game knows exactly what it is, and doesn't try to change that. Although the gameplay may fall short for some, Death Stranding is easily one of the most striking titles I have played in years, and is one I believe should be experienced by all.
Castle Crashers Remastered is a phenomenal title that offers players hours and hours of wacky fun.

From start to finish, Ghost of Tsushima honors the samurai and Japanese culture to the utmost degree. Coupled with a great combat system with risks/rewards, a wonderfully crafted world to explore gives players more reasons to explore every nook and cranny of Tsushima. Ghost of Tsushima is the swan song of the PS4, a title that takes full advantage of the hardware while delivering an experience to remember.
