    Pyre’s battle system is excellent and delivers upon thrilling competitive play, but whether it has any future in that space could rest on whether it gets online play.

    Kamiko's quaint, pick-up-and-play nature makes it a fantastic fit on Nintendo's versatile console.

    If you're tired of shooting guns and swinging swords Yonder offers laid back palate cleansing cuteness in this open-world adventure.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A novel and brilliantly executed concept, regrettably dimmed by self-defeating structural choices.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Final Fantasy XII was outdone by the competition when it came out eleven years ago, and The Zodiac Age changes absolutely nothing in that regard. An overpriced and undercooked re-release of a game better left forgotten.

    Splatoon 2 delivers everything that made the original great and tosses in a few improvements for good measure. The Switch library just keeps getting better.

    Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception tells two different stories—one serious, one sexy—that are so at odds with one another that it loses itself in the process.

    Plague Road’s visuals may tell an intriguing story, but the rest of the game has very little to say.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A re-inventive MOBA that isn't perfect, especially with its free-to-play scheme, but still rises above the pack.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A charming board game-esque strategy game that doesn't go quite as far as it should have.

    • 65 Critic Score
    One of the oddest VR experiences on the market that blends platforming with bouncy castle aesthetics.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    A decent action game, but one weighed down by its terrible plot, crummy characters, and off-putting attempts to be racy.

    I’m sure these games are great for anyone who grew up with them, but I honestly don’t get why.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    An artistic platformer of sorts that's best played in a relaxed state.

    While Secret World Legends will continue to stand as a testament to the power of storycraft and world-building in MMOs, I fear it will also continue to remain a niche game.

    Mages of Mystralia mixes clever spellcasting and magical customization in a fun fantasy realm that players won’t want to leave.

    Diablo III: Rise of the Necromancer boils down to a pack that is tailored for people who love the series already. The character feels well thought out, visually striking, as well as being fun.

    Stormblood helps Final Fantasy XIV soar to new heights in storytelling, visuals, and gameplay, inching one of the best MMORPGs ever created even closer to perfection.

    Harvest Moon: Lil’ Farmers is a good first step for Natsume as they broaden the range of their Harvest Moon brand towards younger children and could benefit from an expanded sequel.

    Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls is a serviceable port of an already somewhat dated and niche title.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Just because Dead by Daylight: Special Edition game is light on mechanics does not mean it is light on fun.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    “Under Pressure” redeems one character, but raises questions about whether some of the series’ problems are too well ingrained to be fixed in further episodes.

    • 75 Critic Score
    Valkyria Revolution's story falters while its different, action-oriented combat shines brightly.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Danganronpa Another Episode Ultra Despair Girls is still a profound story with improved mechanics on PS4, but its standing in the series’ narrative has shifted for the worst since it originally launched.

    In the torrid desert of the AAA industry, Ever Oasis stands out as the rejuvenating refuge so desperately needed.

    When players learn it all, Ruin of the Reckless makes for some frantic roguelike fun.
    • 76 Metascore

    A reductionist shooter that maintains the over-the-top spirit of Serious Sam, for the most part.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Despite its obvious presentation issues, Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is good fun.

    Endless Space 2 is one of the strongest 4X games in recent memory, even if it's not the deepest.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Nintendo delivers a new twist on Punch Out for The Switch and it already feels like the foundation of a new franchise.
