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.
Fatal Frame was once a one-of-a-kind option in the realm of survival horror games, but that has long since gone. Maiden of Black Water is a modernized version that prioritizes graphics above quality and suffers as a result. It takes a lot more than a basic clean-up to make it work, but there's no denying it can be entertaining under the proper conditions.
Riders Republic is unquestionably a one-of-a-kind sports game with an exciting idea that feels like it will carry on for a long time.
Despite feeling repetitive at times, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a fun-filled action game with a likable cast of familiar characters that’ll be hard for MCU fans to turn down.
House of Ashes is the best entry in the Dark Pictures Anthology. It has taken its predecessor's weaknesses and offered an overall balanced experience this time around.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles appears to be an attempt to satisfy series enthusiasts. To some extent, it is approachable and entertaining, but the story is mainly a rehash with no fresh content, and the versus mode, although enjoyable, could benefit from a broader character roster.
Far Cry 6 is more of the same, which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you've loved the previous games in the series. However, the series must reinvent itself to remain relevant.
