    Total War: WARHAMMER II - Curse of the Vampire Coast
    Curse of the Vampire Counts is a welcome excuse to jump back into Total War: Warhammer II, as Creative Assembly continues to impress with their newest faction.

    Pokken Tournament DX
    Not only is it a great game to be able to sink a few rounds of practice into while commuting or during a lunch break, as an adult with a job, a big part of the problem I had with the original was getting people to actually play it couch-multiplayer style.

    Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics
    Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection collects seven arcade-accurate ROMs in one comprehensive collection.

    Telling Lies is a game defined by the individual’s own terms and parameters, rewarding the wide spectrum of curiosity of anyone willing to put the time and thought into its mysteries.

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2017
    If on pitch action is what you value over everything else, then you can’t go wrong with PES 2017.

    Incredible stories, stellar gameplay and updated audio and visuals make playing the Ace Attorney Investigations Collection the most logical decision.

    Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS
    Super Mario Maker 3DS hits home and aside from a couple mild issues, it’s a dream come true for Nintendo nuts.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Persona 5 Royal
    Persona 5 Royal takes an already stellar game and reinvigorates it with content that is sure to please both fans of the original and those playing the game for the first time.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection
    Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection takes two already great action-adventure games (A Thief's End + The Lost Legacy) and brings them to PC with a satisfying suite of visual and control tweaks to maximise the fun.

    Heroes of the Storm
    I can't recommend Heroes of the Storm's friendly approach enough.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    LISA: Definitive Edition
    Lisa: Definitive Edition is an amazing RPG, that melds the cute and oddness of Earthbound but interjects incredible mature themes. It may even be too dark for some.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    A Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia
    Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia experiments with the series’ formula to great effect, creating a compelling, epic setting that is refreshing to play for series’ newcomers and veterans alike.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Her Story
    The hand of [Her Story’s] developer never intrudes far enough to spoil the basic thrill of solving a narrative puzzle completely on one’s own.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Super Meat Boy
    Almost a decade later, Super Meat Boy still offers an excellent difficulty curve, sharp level design, and heartless, brutal platforming.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Berserk and the Band of the Hawk
    Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is amazing. It’s perfect for fans of series, it’s perfect for fans of the Warriors franchise, it’s perfect for gamers looking for a fun “mature” game that isn’t Call of Duty. It’s hard to imagine a manga that filled me with horror so many times, filling me with such joy as a game, but it does. Get this game, if only to open the door to a darker generation of Warriors games.

    The Last of Us Part II Remastered
    The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered’s PC version is really good. The inclusion of No Return, Lost Levels not to mention the plethora of graphical options and features make it the best way to experience the game.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Neva: Prologue
    Neva: Prologue is a compelling, short-but-sweet postgame add-on, revisiting almost everything that made the main game special.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
    Not being able to turn the ever-present bright flashes off is a shame, but Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a ridiculously unique, captivating game that is very much worth puzzling through.

    Later Alligator
    Ruthlessly charming to a degree that renders minor quibbles negligible [insert alligator joke].
    • 85 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Ratchet & Clank
    Ratchet & Clank is the best mascot action platformer game since the classics such as Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation and at the budget price of $39.99 it is easily recommendable for those looking to relive those days.
    • 90 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Shovel Knight
    Make no mistake, Shovel Knight is a classic, side-scrolling, retro platforming, and if that’s the kind of game you’re looking for, it’s one of the best out there.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Arizona Sunshine 2
    Arizona Sunshine 2 brings much welcomed changes and evolutions to the formula of the first one. With the inclusion of its adorable Buddy, Arizona Sunshine 2 is a great VR zombie game. [Meta Quest]
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Super Mega Baseball 2
    Although not quite on par with an MLB, Super Mega Baseball 2 is a great entry for its price, offer-ing enough simplicity in gameplay to be enjoyable to practically anyone.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    The Lion's Song
    The Lion’s Song is a masterclass in storytelling and a great fit for fans of portable Switch gaming, especially those looking for a narrative-driven experience.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Metroid Dread
    Metroid Dread is a wonderful, modern take on a classic game from childhood. It looks as beautiful as any of today’s games, but has a feel of the games of old. The scary tone of the game and its intense foes give you a challenge worthy of the series.

    Inkbound
    Inkbound fuses unique concepts together to create a good story and a better video game, a must-play for those looking for a new adventure. [Early Access Score = 80]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Ranger's Path: National Park Simulator
    Ranger’s Path: National Park Simulator fundamentally works, even with some minor bugs and a lack of gameplay variety—the game has a lot of work to create the ultimate virtual park ranger experience. [Early Access Score = 65]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Second Extinction
    Second Extinction disappoints as an unoriginal multiplayer dino shooter with an uneven difficulty, unbalanced weapons and mind-numbingly repetitive missions. [Early Access Review Score = 60]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    007 First Light
    I did not know what to think when I first heard IOI was working on a James Bond game, but having played 007 First Light, I can think of no studio better for this. It nailed the experience and the tone, and used its expertise in a way that feels fresh, engaging and fun. The team knows what it is doing and has gone all out to build a game that is unmistakably James Bond while feeling like a natural evolution for the studio. [3-Hour Hands-On Impressions]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    inZOI
    As it stands, big caveats aside, inZOI is an interesting experiment but not one that I would readily recommend, at least not at the launch of Early Access. What is here is, again, intriguing, yes, but far from feature-complete and optimized for performance. [Pre-Early Access Impressions]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    SpellPunk VR
    SpellPunk VR’s magic fizzles out from barely-working controls and limited engagement to keep players coming back after the first time. [Early Access Score = 50]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    33 Immortals
    There is a certain sense of feeling like a wandering soul in 33 Immortals that the title captures in a way that I haven’t experienced in a game before, making the experience truly feel unique yet familiar within the roguelike genre. [Early Access Impressions]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Masters of Albion
    The big differentiator in Masters of Albion is its focus on industry: the game is one part city-builder and one part god game, smashed together. [Early Access Impressions]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Blightstone
    Blightstone brings a charming roguelike strategy game to the forefront of early access, an easy recommendation to fans of the genre. [Early Access Score = 80]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    Disney Dreamlight Valley
    Despite borrowing heavily from other life sims, Disney Dreamlight Valley feels unique and charming enough in its own right. However, the Switch version has some glaring pains at launch. [Early Access Score = 70]
    • tbd Metascore
    • Critic Score
    GALAHAD 3093
    The attention to customizability and accessibility of Galahad 3093 showcased how a mech-shooting game does not need to prioritize great graphics over a game playable for everyone. [Early Access Score = 70]
