Evil Dead: The Game succeeds with its multiplayer component, which is still enjoyable with friends, but if you're looking for a single-player experience, you'll be disappointed.
Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition, while far from a flawless remaster, delivers one of the most adored games to current platforms, but it is at best a monkey paw type of wish fulfillment. Even the game's poor performance cannot disguise this brilliance.
Baldo: The Guardian Owls falls short of the heights set by its inspiration, but it is still a respectable action RPG.
13 Sentinels holds its place among the likes of The Last of Us Part II and Disco Elysium as a narrative-driven triumph that leverages the interactive medium to deliver a story that can only be appreciated through its lens.
Persona 4 Arena Ultimax is the ultimate fanservice fantasy realised as a video game for fans of the previous Persona games.
To put it mildly, Platinum Games’ very first live service outing falls short in just about every area.
Rune Factory 5 is an excellent addition to the series, with plenty of wonderful stuff to enjoy, but its lack of polish limits its potential.
Ghostwire Tokyo is a one-of-a-kind first-person action game with a distinctly Japanese feel. There aren't many games like this on the market, and despite some monotonous combat and progression loops, it manages to provide something new for genre enthusiasts.
Dawn of Ragnarok is an expansion aimed specifically toward Assasin's Creed: Valhalla enthusiasts. It doesn't compare to some of the more recent games that have made use of Norse Mythology. It boasts a solid combat system that is hampered by the antiquated quest design and a mediocre plot.
With Elden Ring, From Software has once again demonstrated why they are the masters of creating a brand new world with complex lore, engaging combat, and satisfying progression.
Shadow Warrior 3 takes the wrong cues from the Doom series, in this process losing much of its own identity.
Sifu is a must-have game for anyone who enjoys martial arts. It has a solid combat system, but its main disadvantage is a steep learning curve.
Rune Factory 4 Special was my first introduction to this series, which combines the farming simulation elements of Harvest Moon with a traditional action RPG, and suffice it to say, I greatly like it, despite its flaws.
Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker condenses the charm and specialization of the series DNA into a single expansion that will be regarded as one of the finest Final Fantasy storylines.
Boss fights continue to be the highlight of Solar Ash, and while the gaming experience isn't perfect, it's still enjoyable.
If you want to play more Mobile Suit Gundam, the slow pace of the story makes this a difficult recommendation, but there is a lot of underlying charm in the Noisy Fairy Squad that indicates it could be worth it in the long run.
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl is a fun premise that is performed mildly, missing out on the complexity of its inspiration and resulting in a shorter replay value.
The ingredients are there for quite possibly the best Battlefield experience to date, but several inconsistent design choices hold Battlefield 2042 back from getting there, at least at launch.
Shin Megami Tensei V is a finely built JRPG with a flawless game design that stumbles in its story execution but makes up for it with its gameplay brilliance.
A content-starved Zombies mode aside, Call of Duty: Vanguard is a triumphant return for the series.
