Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a good remake marred by unsavoury and baffling decisions by the studio, making it a hard game to recommend despite its technical competence.

Ruiner is a dizzying affair in combat, offering tons of things for players to consider as music pounds their senses. However, a lack of weapon impact, fights that often feel too similar, and a lifeless world takes away from its appeal.

A painfully bland story and dull characters don’t stop Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE from being a novel and fun role-playing experience for fans of the genre.

Capes is a good enough game, but lacks the necessary distinction to go up, up and away.

The No More Heroes games make for light action fun, but they feel like they could be so much more if they only focused on what they did best without so much filler.

Company of Heroes 3 on PS5 is not an ideal way to play this fantastic series. While it manages to keep the gusto of the series alive, fighting with the controls just makes the overall experience a pain.

The No More Heroes games make for light action fun, but they feel like they could be so much more if they only focused on what they did best without so much filler.

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.

Laika: Aged Through Blood is a fairly remarkable game, even if it got on my nerves something fierce due to its predilection for unnecessary mechanics.

There was a lot of replayability factors in Floodland I loved, and a strong political message. If you love micromanagement games, this had a treasure-trove worth of content.

White Day: A Labyrinth Named School offers some chilling ghostly encounters, provides seemingly endless terrors and new ways to be frightened.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst represents a compromised vision. It’s one part exhilarating first-person platformer, one part bland open-world title. In a year crowded with great releases, not to mention last year’s Dying Light representing a much better open-world parkour experience, that’s a vision many people won’t want to put their money on the line for.

Despite a clumsy jump to console, The Mortuary Assistant remains an incredibly effective horror game.

The Fall is a sci-fi adventure game that harkens back to the days of classic adventure titles and in some instances, brings with it both the good and bad aspects of the classic genre.

A charming, albeit somewhat flawed experience that ends far sooner than it begins.

In Sink is a fun and stylish puzzle game to play with your friend online, but suffers from some puzzles dragging out for too long and sometimes the hint function does the opposite of its purpose.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 offers predictable but fun multiplayer, interesting additions to its zombies mode, but a single-player/co-op campaign that’s tedious and too goofy by far.

Alien: Rogue Incursion successfully transports players to the terrifying world of the Aliens Franchise in a VR experience that doesn't overstay its welcome.

Overall, Ad Infinitum does great outside of its first two hours. There is a gripping story with some incredibly well designed monsters in store for you if you can get yourself past the introduction section of its first monster.

While Aragami 2 suffers some of the same flaws as its predecessor, it’s an excellent stealth game that’s sure to please most Ninjas.

Though Elder Scrolls Online: Blackwood piqued my interest because of its familiar characters and areas, and though they were exciting for a short time, I never found myself excited to push on in this chapter.

GRID Legends is a racing game that provides some cool elements to the formula but doesn’t do enough to stand out in a saturated market. The amazing graphics and solid controls are a plus, but if players aren’t racing game fans, they could skip this one, especially with the large price tag.

Wall Town Wonders VR successfully relocates its mixed-reality experience into a more traditional feeling VR game that manages to keep the essence of the original release for a new player base to get lost in.

An action RPG for all ages to enjoy that unfortunately gets muddled down by a mediocre soundtrack and lack of enemy variety.

It’s still a halfway entertaining game and one of the better uses of the license.

The Ringed City is a fantastically punishing finale for the Dark Souls saga, but is held back by linear level design and an underwhelming story.

For a paltry $6, Penal Colony includes about two hours of single player story and a horde of zombie-filled hours in the numerous Raid levels, complete with multiple characters to build and upgrade.
