One of Payday 2’s strengths has always been the variety of heists offered.
Each freelancer also has unlockable mods for their skills that you can configure before each round.

Gears 4 is smoother all around than past games while retaining that heavy weight to characters.
Their newest release, Marvel’s Women of Power celebrates the female superheroes in the Marvel Universe with a pair of super fun, albeit slightly confusing, tables featuring our favourite heroines.
Admittedly, there are a few rooms that could have probably been removed altogether and instead replaced with more story exposition.

Remakes and re-polished games seem to be a trend this last little while but Capcom wisely chose to avoid those terms.
The story is gripping, the game looks beautiful, the production values are excellent, but you don’t really get a lot to do.
Instead of challenging twitch reflexes and harnessing learned strategies, Rive often relies on surprise confrontations.
While its basic mechanics and emphasis on story over gameplay won’t be for everyone, it’s a unique ride that mature and intelligent gamers should take, especially if they happen to be a fan of The X-Files or Twin Peaks.
