    Empire of the Ants is visually beautiful and narratively fascinating but isn’t consistently fun to play.

    Fe
    Fe is an artsy and clunky platformer that feels artsy for arts sake. The story is barely there, the movement isn’t fun, and it is an all-around let down.

    With non-stop action and a near limitless amount of customization. Daemon X Machina is a great mech game that now looks better than ever before.

    King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is not a badly made game; it’s just boring, and that might be worse.

    If you’re looking for a fun, solid-though-not-brilliant cop drama to play through that then lets you jump into multiplayer and be the cop or the robber, this is the game for you.

    Minecraft Legends is a perfectly serviceable strategy title, especially for those who love the setting, but the lack of pacing and unit management like you'd find elsewhere in the genre brings it down a peg or two.

    Rainbow Six Extraction is an excellent concept that will delight Rainbow Six fans that are tired of the PvP scene of Siege. The title has a select audience and may isolate newcomers to the series, but with the direct to Game Pass release it is an easy recommendation to subscribers because it works EXTREMELY well.

    Dropping a cliff into a steep pillow line is an entirely different feeling to snapping off a groomed park feature, yet in Steep, it all blends into the same thing.

    Payday 2: Crimewave Edition is the perfect game for current-gen owners who have always wanted to rob a bank, but never wanted to go to jail.

    If not for a few clunky gameplay mechanics, Little Hope would be the perfect horror game.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    If you want to be a troublemaking, superpowered criminal with little resistance, Saints Row IV: Re-Elected is unparalleled in what it gives you.
    • 71 Metascore

    None of this stops Dead by Daylight from being enjoyable at times—or even tense—but a horror experience it is not. Nor is it particularly well fleshed out, well documented, or even well executed.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Pool Panic is an absurd puzzle game that breathes new life into the game of pool despite some control issues.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    SaGa Frontier Remastered is often too obtuse for its own good, but behind it all is a unique and captivating RPG that benefits greatly from quality-of-life improvements and restored content cut from its original release.

    This collection is without a doubt the best way to play any of these four games legally without spending too much money.

    Rebirth of Souls is fairly standard fare for an anime game, but it will be welcome for content-starved Bleach fans.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Possessor(s) combines a compelling narrative, solid understanding of Metroid-like design and genuinely fun combat for an experience that is intensely captivating.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    The definitive way to play the best entry in the Zone of the Enders franchise.

    Turok 3: Shadows of Oblivion Remastered is fine enough, but lacks the updates and charm of its predecessors.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Alwa's Awakening takes its players to pretty pixelated places filled with NES challenge, but mars the whole experience with a clumsy magic system that makes the game's difficult platforming segments needlessly frustrating.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Samba De Amigo: Party Central may not a perfect experience, but it’s fun enough to be a fun addition to any Friday night get-together.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Another Lost Phone: Laura’s Story is the very essence of a visual novel. There isn’t a great deal of gameplay to be had, but the story and the way it tells it goes above and beyond to make it a worthwhile experience.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny is simultaneously cliche and transgressive, offering refreshing takes on genre conventions while still reliant on them. Its expanded gameplay systems can be mind-numbing to newcomers, but longtime franchise fans will find an unrivaled buffet of content to grind through.

    DEATH NOTE Killer Within takes the core ideas of Among Us and adds a unique Cat & Mouse flair with some notable nods to the anime.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Doom is just as violent and mesmerizing in VR, but a number of concessions were made in this truncated version.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Bard’s Tale IV: Barrows Deep is a great game that is in severe need of polish and bug fixes.

    If you’re a fan of Story of Seasons, I think you’re definitely going to love all-of this game...get it?

    Pokémon Scarlet and Violet manages to be a fun adventure in spite of numerous technical issues thanks to great open world design.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    New Dawn’s post-apocalyptic landscape makes for a more focused version of the Far Cry package, which is great if you just want to kill time capturing outposts and hunting animals.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Days Gone is an above average open-world game that is brought down by a weak first act, poor shooting, and a lot of technical issues.
