A highlight of the PlayStation 4 era, now beautifully remastered for the PlayStation 5, Uncharted is just as superb as ever.
Aggressively buggy and tediously designed, Battlefield 2042 has a wealth of good ideas, none of which come together in the end.
Not quite the masterpiece the Dishonored series was, DEATHLOOP is nonetheless a vibrant and wild fantasy worth exploring.
With spectacular design and fantastic writing, Ghost of Tsushima is an adventure well worth having.
Though the gameplay is superficial, Beyond Blue is so emotionally devastating it deserves attention nonetheless.
Deliberately stupid and crass, Saints Row is nonetheless a smarty designed action comedy worth playing.
Loaded with gags, references, and gory gameplay, Maneater isn't big or clever, but it is fun.
Brilliantly designed and immensely moving, Before We Leave is an indie triumph worth experiencing.
Road to Boruto is a terrific port of a series I had very little experience with. It’s easily accessible, loads of fun to play, and it never ceases to amaze with its scope and grandiosity. It might not be enough for me to dive into the anime, but certainly enough to keep me interested for many more hours down the road.
Silly, big, and loud, Totally Reliable Delivery Service is a wonderful party game with likeminded friends.
An incredible feat of storytelling, Final Fantasy VII Remake is both sequel and reimagining while keeping the spirit of a classic alive.
Fun and breezy with some delightfully silly mechanics, One Piece Pirate Warriors 4 is decent booty.
Overpass isn’t for everyone, and that bears repeating. You need to know what you’re getting yourself into with this, as it’s the kind of simulator that doesn’t hold your hand past the first few steps. But if you’re into discovering just how far you’re willing to go in perfecting your play style, slowly becoming better at one specific thing, you’d be hard-pressed to find something better.
Intense and brutal, DOOM Eternal is a furious continuation of the nightmarish saga.
When I wasn’t playing it, I thought about tactics to use for my next dungeon crawl. I needed to know where this world had gone wrong, and I didn’t want to stop until I finally had answers. If that’s not a solid recommendation, I don’t know what is.
Fallen Order is the first halfway-decent Star Wars game in years, and that alone allows for way more leeway than it probably deserves. Just the fact that this is playable and reasonably fun in short bursts compared to anything we’ve seen done with the license for so long makes it worthwhile to at least try. It’s just a shame the bar has to be that low in the first place.
At its heart, Death Stranding is a wonderful experience, one that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend for everyone. It has moments of staggering beauty and clarity where you could swear the medium transcends into something better.
I want to recommend Red Dead Redemption 2. I really do. It’s great to see game developers putting their weight behind mature, story-driven games like this, and that kind of emphasis deserves praise. I love the melancholy mood and influences from the neo-western masterpiece The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. A part of me even admires the stubborn obsession with meticulous detail the game prides itself on. But at the same time, all of that doesn’t amount to something that's actually fun to play, not to me at least. It feels like a chore; like something I’m playing because I admire it for what it tries to be, instead of enjoying it for what it is.
Despite my complaints, The Outer Worlds is among the finest games released this year. It’s a fun adventure that kept me glued to the screen for the twenty-plus hours that the main story took to complete
