    Zombie Night Terror
    For the price, Zombie Night Terror is a fine way to spend a weekend or more.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
    Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is WayForward’s finest entry in the series yet. Platformer enthusiasts and people who can’t get enough of collecting virtual trinkets will undoubtedly find something to get lost in here.

    Torchlight II
    Torchlight II on the Switch is an excellent addition to its library of fun, multiplayer-oriented games for both new fans and those wanting to return to the world of Vilderan after an extended absence.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Darkest Dungeon II
    Darkest Dungeon II keeps everything good from the original and elevates it to create something different but equally brutal.

    Life is Strange 2: Episode 1 - Roads
    Life is Strange 2 sets up a very different story that cares a lot of the original game’s strengths with it, and leaves some of its weaker points behind.

    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice
    Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice has some flaws in its testimony, but it’s ultimately a winning entry in the prolific series, and a welcome return to form. No objections here.

    SIFU
    Sifu is a masterfully crafted lesson on patience.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War
    Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an improvement over its predecessor in every way imaginable.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Kena: Bridge of Spirits
    Kena: Bridge of Spirits – Premium Edition for Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles has arrived at just the right time, delivering a challenging, high-quality, old-school action-adventure/puzzler that’s bound to keep gamers on the Xbox platform busy during the end-of-summer gaming doldrums.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth
    Persona Q2’s has a lot of fun dungeon crawling to offer, but doesn’t make the most of its great cast’s time together.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Catherine: Full Body
    Catherine: Full Body has more interesting things to say about relationships that are dragged down by a story too cynical to let it shine.

    Borderlands 3
    Borderlands 3 isn’t a franchise altering game, but it does manage to combine great gunplay, an expansive world, and stellar co-op into a great overall package.

    Stranded: Alien Dawn
    Stranded: Alien Dawn is a great experience for those looking to get into the Survival/Strategy genre, even if a hardcore fanbase won’t like the lack of options in crafting, character generation, and random events.

    WWE 2K23
    WWE 2K23 is a solid improvement on its predecessor, is an easy entry to start with for new players, and adds just enough to make players return for a polished round two.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2
    If you can get past the childish and highly repetitive English dialogue, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 is a great option for players looking to mindlessly blast giant insects, aliens and Kaiju to bits with their friends, either online or with a local buddy.

    • 75 Critic Score
    CONV/RGENCE: A League of Legends Story
    Convergence: A League of Legends Story is an all-around good game that huge League of Legends fans will adore. For those jumping in for the genre, you’ll enjoy yourself, but it ends up settling in the middle of the pack in terms of platforming, exploration, and mechanics, while the art style gets an extra bump up.

    Timespinner
    Beautifully trim, transcendently polished, and unexpectedly inclusive, Timespinner is among the most capable endeavours to spring from Castlevania’s picked-over carcass.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 100 Critic Score
    Rollerdrome
    The Roll7 team have achieved an original greatness with Rollerdrome across the board: original concept, 80s nostalgia music and art—augmented with super fluid mechanics and gameplay.

    • 100 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy XV
    Final Fantasy XV is a challenge to modern game design and traditional masculine gaming narratives, on top of being a truly phenomenal, enriching experience. Square Enix has reclaimed its throne.

    • 85 Critic Score
    The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners
    The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners is a faithful VR adaptation that creatively knows what it’s like to fight walkers and stay alive.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
    Even if every new idea presented doesn’t always work or make sense, there is still so much originality and adventure at its heart that I’m inclined to overlook those moments of frustration. As open world games continue to cross-pollinate into one breed of the same, Dragon’s Dogma is endearingly quirky, flawed, and, above all else, fun.

    BAKERU
    BAKERU blends smooth platforming with incredible combat (and a plethora of gameplay variety) to create one of the most fun games I’ve played in a while.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Puyo Puyo Tetris
    Puyo Puyo Tetris is a beautiful, wonderful, joyful game with loads of content that any Switch owner should pick up immediately. One of the very best puzzle games ever made.

    Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns
    I am largely happy with this. I will continue to keep an eye on this—MMORPGS are difficult to gauge early on, but ArenaNet has a good track record, and this remains, in my opinion, the strongest online game on the market.

    The Planet Crafter
    The Planet Crafter is a cool survival crafting game with lots of possibilities. It just would have had more of an impact with a good end-game goal or a story peppered in.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 95 Critic Score
    Bravely Second: End Layer
    Bravely Second takes concepts from it’s predecessor and improves on them completely, making this the best game on the 3DS.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure
    Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure made sliding-block puzzles fun and interesting. That in and of itself is the highest praise I could give it.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Jagged Alliance 3
    For the hardcore turn-based tactics fans, Jagged Alliance 3 takes the series in a great direction. Unfortunately, there is really no onboarding before the difficulty takes a steep leap.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Assassin's Creed Origins
    Assassin’s Creed Origins brings Ancient Egypt back to life with the best sandbox world Ubisoft has made to date. However, a half-baked combat system and poor RPG mechanics sour parts of the experience.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Marvel's Midnight Suns
    Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a both a refreshing, lighthearted take on Firaxis Games’ XCOM formula as well as a shining example of how to faithfully adapt Marvel properties to new game genres that sit outside of the typical action-adventure wheelhouse, propped up by great writing, dialogue, and stellar voice-acting befitting the source material.
