Movie adaptations in video games rarely hit the mark, but A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a solid game overall, though it falls short of a true horror experience.
Over the last few years, Call of Duty has struggled to deliver compelling stories or campaigns that will thoroughly impress us, but that's about to change because the Black Ops 6 campaign is arguably one of the best Call of Duty campaigns ever.
If you appreciate narrative-driven games with minimal gameplay involvement that also tell a fantastic story, then you probably won't find it better than Slay the Princess.
Everything in Europa is crafted to fully immerse and relax you, which was clearly the developers' goal—and they nailed it. From start to finish, the game has a therapeutic effect, allowing you to enjoy every moment in a completely stress-free experience.
If you're a MechWarrior series fan, you won't be disappointed with MechWarrior 5: Clans. This is a game you've been waiting for; made with passion and love and that's truly visible at every corner. For newcomers, there's a lot of fun to be had here too so definitely give it a go if you have an active Game Pass subscription.
Words can’t fully capture the experience, as to truly understand Silent Hill 2, you have to play it. This game is a true masterpiece—its story will leave you breathless, the gameplay will fairly entertain you, and the atmosphere will keep you on edge the entire time.
Mortal Kombat 1: Chaos Reigns expansion will bring you more of the Mortal Kombat story with production quality that even the greatest Hollywood blockbusters wouldn't be ashamed of. With several new characters and many variations of the existing ones, the fun is guaranteed.
It's clear that Spike Chunsoft poured their hearts out while making Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, which feels like a love letter to countless Budukai Tenkaichi fans out there. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is the ultimate form of arena-based combat title with an excellent narrative-based plot from canon media.
Perhaps if the sports were more varied and additional content was included to make things more engaging, the experience would be better. As it stands, everything looks great at first, but sadly, the appeal fades quickly once the repetitiveness sets in.
Go Mecha Ball certainly has its flaws, but where it aims to shine, it truly does—and that's in its fun gameplay.
Choose the fighter, roam the streets and beat the tar out of everyone who crosses your path—that's pretty much The Karate Kid: Sreet Rumble in a nutshell.
Frostpunk 2 is an absolutely incredible game, a true shining masterpiece with a unique setting, mechanics and addicting gameplay loop. Since it's also on Game Pass, I'm recommending it even to players who aren't really into these types of games. You won't regret it.
Caravan SandWitch is a game with a therapeutic effect that truly relaxes you as you play, as everything in it is designed with that goal in mind. However, it falls short in many other aspects, with several questionable design choices, such as the absence of voice acting, which feels like a crucial missing element for this type of game.
On paper, Star Wars Outlaws has all the necessary elements to be a great open-world action-adventure but sadly, these elements never come together in a way that would create an engaging gameplay experience.
If the online third-person shooters can pass your selection as the games you like, then, by all means, buy Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. It is a fantastic game that will provide lots of fun whether you prefer to play it alone or with your friends.
The excitement and interest I felt when I first started playing Dustborn never faded away. This is one of those games that you can't put down once you start, thanks to its very interesting story and everything connected to the narrative in general.
High-quality graphics, charming art style, and emotionally touching moments in the story can be a good reason to give Creatures of Ava a chance; at least, who knows, you might even like it. Especially because the game will be available on Game Pass from the launch day, so if you own this subscription, by all means, try it.
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is From Software's finest work yet with best-in-class combat, world design and exploration. Add stunning bosses that eclipse those of the base game and a whole slate of fantastic dungeons, weapons and armour and you have one of the greatest if not the greatest expansion ever made.
Dungeons of Hinterberg is a full-blooded action RPG with a unique art style, a beautiful world, an interesting story, and very addictive gameplay. Add 25+ dungeons to explore and great puzzles to solve, and you'll have a pretty picture of what awaits you in this gem of a game.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a very good game that mixes some genres that seem unmixable, but once you start to play it, you see that the combination of action RPG and strategy tower defence is not just possible but highly likeable.
