    Shenmue III
    Shenmue III is the monkey-paw wish of videogames — it is exactly what fans have wanted, to the point where it feels like it belongs in a different era.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes
    Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes is a great game that perfectly captures what I personally love about indie experiences.

    • 70 Critic Score
    Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation
    Ultimately, Re;Birth2 is not a top-tier JRPG in terms of polish, or even story, but it is a solid effort that looks very pretty on the Vita.

    • 55 Critic Score
    Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT
    Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is an affront to the Final Fantasy legacy whose superficial beauty fails to obfuscate its complete lack of substance.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Miitopia
    Miitopia brings fun ideas to the RPG genre but overstays its welcome.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Park
    Despite how [The Park’s] conclusion stands out as both horrifying and emotionally resonant, the plot suffers in a lead-up that can feel a bit aimless.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    High on Life
    High on Life perfectly blends tried-and-true Metroidvania and classic first-person shooter elements with Justin Roiland and Squanch Games’ distinctive brand of dark, fourth wall-breaking comedy, resulting in an action-adventure that no gamer should dare miss out on, especially when it is being offered for free to anyone with an Xbox Game Pass subscription.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    FATED: The Silent Oath
    For $20 FATED: The Silent Oath is a two-hour long snooze-fest that serves as the first part of an episodic game that consists of mostly walking, and talking, neither of which are entertaining.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 55 Critic Score
    World War Z
    World War Z has a great gameplay hook, but it unfortunately lacks the variety needed to keep it engaging past the first few hours.

    • 65 Critic Score
    Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush
    Donkey Kong Bananza’s DK Island + Emerald Rush DLC is a decent enough expansion that is NOWHERE near worth the asking price.

    Mail Time
    Mail Time is less like cuddling up with a good book and more like falling asleep reading a Post Office pamphlet.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Hot Lap Racing
    Hot Lap Racing is an entertaining arcade-style racing game, but falls flat on keeping one entertained with a minimal amount to do.

    Wonder Boy Collection
    Fans of these games when they came out, rejoice! You have them all in one place for one reasonable price. If the games are new to you, it’s perhaps something you don’t have to regret missing.

    Dragon Ball: Xenoverse
    People unfamiliar with games themed around Dragon Ball Z will not find much here to latch onto, but fans of the Dragon Ball Z franchise will not know what to expect from a twist and turned filled time travel story that will rearrange all of their favorite characters until those fans can put them back in order again.

    • 85 Critic Score
    Chinatown Detective Agency
    Chinatown Detective Agency is a great detective game that feels rewarding when solutions are found. An easy recommendation to casual and serious gamers, but the replay value may fall short when all is said and done.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    WWE 2K18
    WWE 2K18 makes only a modest attempt to improve on last year’s offering, which means this game is still not very good.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    NHL 25
    NHL 25 is a good game when it focuses on hockey, it’s when microtransactions come into play that things become tacky.

    Nights of Azure 2: Bride of the New Moon
    While the game is nice to look at and can be fun to play, the technical issues and objectification of its characters keep it from really shining.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer
    It’s a fun little distraction that doesn’t require too much attention to enjoy.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Driveclub VR
    Racing in VR is a thrill, but playing Driveclub again isn’t, which makes Driveclub VR a pretty unenticing offer despite the game housing more content than other VR titles so far.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Escapists: The Walking Dead
    Absurdly uncommon bugs aside, The Escapists: The Walking Dead is a very fun little game.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Original Journey
    Original Journey is a game that is perfect to pick up and play for small bits at a time even with the shortcomings it has.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Peaky Blinders: Mastermind
    Fans of puzzle games should enjoy the new mechanic of hopping through time to control multiple characters, but as an adaptation of the series, it falls flat. It’s frustrating in a way that makes for a riveting challenge, but then you’ll reflect that maybe you just spent six hours pulling levers to open doors.

    Crysis Remastered
    Crysis Remastered on the Switch laughs at our old PCs that couldn’t run the original but still finds a few stumbling blocks all on its own.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Super Stardust Ultra VR
    Super Stardust Ultra VR brings a luke warm side dish that was nuked in the microwave to the table.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    One Piece: Burning Blood
    If you’re a dedicated fan of all things One Piece, including its previous videogame incarnations, this game will likely satisfy your itch.

    Blue Reflection
    A limp, repetitive gameplay loop and uncomfortable characterization rob Blue Reflection of the magic it tries so desperately to create.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Sunset (2015)
    What starts out as merely unpacking boxes, very quickly begins to feel like more of a private peek into someone’s life.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Mika and The Witch's Mountain
    Mika and the Witch’s Mountain has a good enough base, but not enough magic to keep it afloat.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered
    Ghostbusters: The Video Game is the ultimate fan-game—that is to say, a game for the fans. It captures everything that made the original film great, and puts you in the starring role; really making you feel like a Ghostbuster. With everything that this game does right, it’s a wonder how more Ghostbusters games weren’t made, excluding the terrible Sanctum of Slime, and Ghostbusters (2016) game.
