Gamers of all ages will enjoy exploring the valley and setting nature free from the dastardly park ranger.
While Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is definitely the middle-chapter of a trilogy, and thus doesn't quite standalone as well as the last game, there's no denying it rules. A multitude of small tweaks and gameplay changes add up to an impressive experience that feels like a giant leap forward, while continuing a great story with characters that find new ways to hook you.
Skull and Bones has all the ingredients to be a great game but it falls short due to its soulless story mode. While the game's naval combat mechanics are top-notch and provide an immersive experience, the lack of a compelling narrative leaves players feeling un-engaged and unmotivated.

Mortal Kombat 1 is an exceptional addition to NetherRealm's renowned series, which has been expanding over the past three decades. The introduction of the Kameo Fighter system, Invasion, and the upcoming DLC character make MK1 a thrilling experience with abundant replay value for both die-hard fight game fans and casual gamers.
Eternights is one of the most thrilling and fun experiences I’ve had. It found a way to strengthen the action roguelike genre with the power of a dating sim. The inspirations from Persona are clear, but you won’t be disappointed in the slightest with this unique and fun adventure.
An easy contender for Game of the Year, Baldur's Gate 3 is the Dungeons and Dragons RPG gamers have been dreaming about for years. The story branches out in numerous ways, such that every play through feels unique and different.
Fae Farm manages to take some of the best elements of Animal Crossing and icons of the genre (Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, etc) and blend them together in an impressive way. With polished controls, and fun tweaks to familiar mechanics, Fae Farm manages to stand out in the (crowded) genre and is genuinely tough to put down.
Armored Core VI keeps kicking my ass and for some reason it continues to bring me back time after time; largely because the mecha-battling action is so good.
