While being in this world offers a lot of fun, traversing becomes more of a chore by the end. Once the player gets to a base or somewhere to explore, the energy picks up again. It makes Atomfall a must-play, even if players aren’t fans of the genre.
Doing small tasks can still bring a sense of peace and fulfillment, especially when doing it in a stunning world that is more like watching a sunset. That’s where Wanderstop stands out from other cozy games by truly making the player feel relaxed. Like what Boro is doing with Alta, Wanderstop helps players look within themselves. This makes Wanderstop a one-of-a-kind experience that fans of the cozy game genre need to play.
AC Shadows isn’t revolutionizing its franchise or its genre, but it’s overall going to be a good time for those who seek it out. This is a more-than-worthy entry in the franchise, and overall, those who most enjoyed Assassin's Creed Odyssey and Valhalla will get the most out of Shadows, considering they're the most similar in scale and overall gameplay structure.
Doom: Eternal remains one of the most innovative and empowering FPS games of recent memory. Time has been and will be kind to this game, especially given how the rest of the FPS genre has yet to reach its level. It won't be surprising if the only thing that dethrones Doom: Eternal is Doom: The Dark Ages, and there couldn't be a worthier usurper.
