Persona 4 Golden is as iconic as ever as it hits Xbox Game Pass and consoles. It's got a few issues holding it back but it is an excellent experience in a contemporary setting.
Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider feels like a blast from the past and kicks off the year with a challenging and rewarding experience.
Sonic Frontiers feels like a turning point for the character and while not everything works, the open world, new abilities, and story are the real standouts.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is a hammy prequel but one that includes better combat and performances. Despite the dated issues, Crisis Core is enjoyable and important to the lore.
Despite some minor setbacks, Need for Speed Unbound is the best offering the series has delivered in years.
Evil West is brutish, exciting, and chaotic. While the story isn't anything memorable, it is filled with non-stop action-packed experiences that will leave a smile on your face.
The ninth generation of Pokémon has unfortunately begun in the worst possible condition. Pokémon Scarlet has some great ideas but it is mired in technical shortcomings.
Tactics Ogre: Reborn is one of the most impressive remakes of some time. Square Enix has had an incredible year of releases in 2022 and that streak continues with the launch of Reborn.
Pentiment is unlike anything you’ll play throughout the rest of the year and well into the next. All that patience pays off in spades as you learn that your decisions have consequences, and each choice is costly.
God of War Ragnarok is an exceptional conclusion to a compelling saga. Filled with larger-than-life characters, deep combat, and a moving score, Santa Monica Studios delivers one of the most invigorating experiences you'll ever play.
Star Ocean The Divine Force wears the undeniable merit of bringing back a franchise that had been derailed after the disaster of Integrity and Faithlessness six years ago.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II offers the best iteration of the franchise in some time. However, it does have some lingering issues that can likely be addressed in the coming months. As it is now, the campaign offers a compelling but predictable narrative, but one that readies you for the multiplayer.
Bayonetta 3 delivers the most chaotic, luminous, and enthralling sequel filled with quality-of-life improvements that make this an immensely satisfying adventure.
Gotham Knights deliver a fantastically told story that deals with the grief of losing Batman by carrying on the legacy as the protector of Gotham City.
What could be better than combining two totally different universes in a game where anything can happen in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope?
Valkyrie Elysium has the makings of a great title held back by budget constraints.
NieR: Automata The End of YoRHa Edition brings the excellent action title to Switch in what is easily the most accessible version to date.
Moonscars tries to do too much making it feel often overburdened with ideas but it also offers some fun mechanics in a desolate and dreary world.
Jack Move is a short experience but is filled with some good ideas and rewarding gameplay.
If you like how tight the Bayonetta franchise, No More Heroes, Devil May Cry, Astral Chain and previous God of War games were, you'll definitely love Soulstice!
