Dying Light 2 Stay Human combines a branching narrative, a massive open world and satisfying first-person parkour. It's a potent mixture, but repetitive combat and serious technical issues often spoil the fun.
Having finished my Cyberpunk 2077 review, I am ready to scream "I'm free!" Though the masochist in me is considering spending more time to finish the mainline story (There are multiple endings, which is why I might just read synopses online), I'm happy to be done with this game. If you were thinking about getting it (if you can even buy it), my best advice is to hold off for a while.
Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection brings two of the series' best entries to the PS5. This is the definitive way to experience these stellar titles.
Monster Hunter Rise shines on PC, thanks to updated graphics and higher frame rates. It is the definitive edition of an already-fantastic title.
Rainbow Six: Extraction tries – and fails – to bring the Rainbow Six: Siege paradigm to PVE multiplayer.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is the best way to see the world from your couch.
Chorus' ambitious and frenetic space combat makes for some satisfying dogfights, but its convoluted story doesn't stick the landing.
Halo Infinite is a fresh new take on the franchise, and manages to bring everything together into a game that is innovative, familiar, and a lot of fun to play.
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl are remakes of good games, with some excellent quality of life changes. But Nintendo has applied those changes inconsistently throughout.
Jurassic World Evolution 2 builds on its predecessor's framework to create a super-satisfying park management sim with the occasional raptor attack.
Just Dance 2022 isn't filled with flashy new mechanics or game-changing improvements. But with a host of catchy new songs, Just Dance 2022 is an exciting continuation of the successful rhythm series.
Battlefield 2042 occasionally captures the epic scale and multiplayer madness the series is known for. But the game often stumbles due to poor design decisions and technical issues.
Shin Megami Tensei V brings players an old-school challenge with some modern concessions.
Mario Party Superstars is a solid, if unambitious, compilation of the best the series has to offer.
Call of Duty: Vanguard doesn't drive the franchise forward in any major ways, but its tense, cinematic campaign and satisfying multiplayer modes are worth experiencing.
Forza Horizon 5 may not reinvent the wheel, but it sure does make balding tires as compelling and satisfying as ever.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is the franchise's best entry yet, acting as a playable horror film. But it still shows room for improvement.
At its best Riders Republic successfully captures the sense of adventure and risk-taking that make extreme sports so appealing.
Age of Empires IV may not redefine the real-time strategy genre like its predecessors, but it's still a deep and challenging dive into the world of medieval warfare.
Back 4 Blood is Left 4 Dead in everything but name. Delivering tense co-op zombie-shooting action, it's the true spiritual successor to Turtle Rock's classic franchise.
