The story does an excellent job of bridging a gap between the Gears world before the locust invasion and after.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival combines numerous ideas; however, not all of them come together seamlessly.
That’s ultimately what the Complete Edition amounts to: a compact story expansion with one questionable narrative decision, an excellent new single-player mode that’s as satisfying as it is brutal, and a relaxing bonus for anyone who enjoys taking in Ghost of Yōtei’s gorgeous scenery.
Order of the Sinking Star is a wonderful kaleidoscope of puzzles.
Games that treat death, illness, and aging realistically are pretty rare, and Forever Ago is notable for taking on difficult subjects with emotional truth.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen might not be the ultimate expansion, but it is a substantial one.
There are a few duds in this massive bundle, but most of these games are worth playing.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is the best racing game in the franchise’s history.
With End of Abyss, Section 9 Interactive takes what they learnt from Little Nightmares and creates a new beast that blends their trademark unsettling atmosphere with Metroidvania exploration.
As if anyone needed it, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered reminds us that the game is more than worth revisiting.
With a dark — yet hopeful — fairy tale narrative and excellent level design, Well Dweller might not reinvent Metroidvanias, but it confidently plays the genre’s greatest hits, adding its own engaging spin. It’s so good that even this platformer-challenged gamer had a great time.
It performs well overall if you avoid going too deep into the underlying details that hardcore sim racers fuss about.
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve captures the intensity of aerial warfare better than any other title.
Lords of the End Times is both must-have content for longtime fans and a great place to jump in to an already excellent strategy game.
Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow is most easily compared to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. There are a lot of people waiting for a game influenced by it, and this is the first great one.
The Walking Dead: Streets of Survival isn’t a game I’ll be returning to over and over again. There simply isn’t enough mechanical depth or variety to make repeated playthroughs particularly compelling.
SiN Reloaded was awesome for its time. It has solid shooting, unique gameplay sections, and a fantastic story presentation. It’s a very basic boomer shooter by modern standards though.
If you’re looking for a survival RPG that captures the magic in the mindless work, RuneScape: Dragonwilds is perfect. But be warned, you’ve got your work cut out for you.
