Hell Is Us is a darkly engaging adventure puzzle game that blends the uncanny character vibes of David Lynch with exploration elements found in Fromsoftware games without its punishing difficulty.

Call of the Sea is a well-executed Adventure game that feels both familiar and distinct, with imagery evocative of both Monkey Island and H.P. Lovecraft that comes together in a fun and concise adventure game.

Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition, despite being another re-release, shows that Darksiders II is an incredible game that deserves more attention.

This hack-and-slash romp is as good as it was in 2014, but remains fundamentally the same game, making it best suited for those yet to experience Hyrule Warriors whatsoever.

I don't even know if I'd necessarily recommend ABZÛ even if I did enjoy it. It's one of those games where you have to list a ton of caveats off when discussing, to the point where many people will be turned off. But if you regularly partake in walking (swimming?) simulators and artistic endeavors merely for aesthetic value, it might be worth the...ahem...dive.

Project Songbird isn’t a perfect experience, nor is it terribly scary, but it does enough right to merit a playthrough.

Before the Storm addresses old problems through an old story, and it makes a compelling case to reconsider its divisive protagonist.

Championship Edition 2's drastic changes to the classic Pac-Man feels like a misstep. You can touch the ghosts without dying and the speed and danger of the original are missing because of this.

While a standalone game that also offered “Extinction” (the short-lived alien variant) would be even better, Zombies Chronicles gets the job done and hits most of the high-notes the subseries has given us over the years. It’s going to be a little awkward if you sold your copy of Black Ops III, but otherwise, it’s worth booting up with some friends.

RoadCraft is everything I had previously enjoyed in Expeditions while building upon it with increased challenges and task that will test players each step of the way and require some clever thinking at times.

Pokémon Legends: Z-A takes all the elements that made Arceus fun and refreshing and elevates them to new heights with the introduction of its real-time battle system.

What Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture accomplishes with the well-worn post-apocalyptic genre is remarkable.

Most often you'll feel, at best, looming dread or smug satisfaction and only rarely shock or triumph.

It is hard to recommend buying FIFA at all this year. Like no other yearly release in the franchise, FIFA 22 is a game of thin margins.

Flywrench creates complex challenges through simple design structures, absorbing you into to its mesmerising gameplay for hours upon end.

There are certainly areas for improvement, but Magic: ManaStrike may be the best mobile adaptation of MTG so far.

A charming and original little puzzle-adventure game that should appeal to a wide variety of audiences: kids, families, or even adults looking for something fun and innocuous for game night.

I cannot deny that Death’s Gambit Afterlife is a well made, well executed game, but it genuinely isn’t for me.

Pinball M is perfectly fine, as far as pinball games go—but its lack of content and potential over-monetization keep me from recommending it.

Remnant II: The Dark Horizon's lacklustre story mixed with a shallow villain makes for a bland playthrough narratively. However, the new Warden Archetype, refined prism system, excellent new loot and new zones on N’Erud help pull the DLC up by its boots straps.

With updated controls and modern visuals enhancing the experience, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos is a PlayStation classic worth revisiting.

Lost In Random: The Eternal Die is an intense action roguelike that blends challenge and RNG to perfectly suit its narrative and aesthetic themes.

Mecha BREAK’s price of admission makes it worth trying for anyone into PvP or hero shooters, the casual and hardcore should enlist today.

Veterans of both PvZ and Diablo are going to find that Deathtrap handles both genres in a substantial way.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is both a love letter and a remix of everything FromSoftware fans adore. While the multiplayer focus won’t work for everyone, the sheer amount of challenge, variety, and the ever-elusive dopamine hit make it something special and something to be remembered.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits feels right at home on a Nintendo console, and its size and scope make it a pretty decent travel companion—well-suited to easy pick-up-and-play. If you missed it the first time around and are willing to accept a small degree of graphical sacrifice, then this game is definitely worth your time.

Starfield on PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro offers new players a solid port of a great game made better with new content and QoL improvements across the board.

Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is as perfect a remake of the Gameboy Advance classic as you can imagine.
