    Monster Hunter Wilds
    Monster Hunter Wilds may very well set the standard for not just how Monster Hunter plays but also how it tells its story.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake
    Final Fantasy VII Remake does the impossible, somehow allowing me to relive one of the biggest gaming moments of my childhood as if it were new.

    The Following is a stellar, value-packed addition to Dying Light that not only extends and improves upon the solid experience that fans have come to expect, but also enriches the original product to definitive status.

    Tyranny
    Tyranny is an exercise in depicting humanity’s worst facets, and it does so in a nuanced, interesting way while being an engaging and accessible CRPG.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
    Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is an indie megaton mic drop from Team Reptile on how it’s done, paying serious homage to the genuinely unique, visually arresting and musically ahead-of-the-curve games that Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future originally were.

    Elroy And The Aliens
    Elroy and the Alien captures all the heart, charm and inventiveness of the golden age of point-and-click adventure games.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Return to Monkey Island
    Return to Monkey Island is a game that any fan of the series should love (regardless of its initially unorthodox art style) and one that players can tailor to their particular skill level. Having spent many hours navigating its treacherous islands, sailing its high seas, and matching wits (and swords) with an endearingly quirky cast of characters, I can easily say that this is one adventure you won’t want to miss the boat on.

    Undertale
    Undertale is like Earthbound if it were a Hayao Miyazaki movie: strange, interesting, and profoundly unique. The ways in which each little choice can affect the game will constantly keep you guessing, and its multiple paths are each truly moving experiences capped off by a “true ending” that actually had me weeping by its sheer force of power.

    Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
    If Shovel Knight is Mega Man X, then Specter Knight is Zero; his expertly-crafted new campaign is a perfect complement to one of the best 2D platformers ever made.

    • 90 Critic Score
    Devil Daggers
    The hardcore difficulty and lack of menus will be enough to turn some players off, but for those that stick it out, you’re in for a Hell of a good time.

    Sid Meier's Civilization VII
    Sid Meier’s Civilization VII manages to give players enough freedom to create their own version of gameplay over and over again. Pairing that with some truly stunning art, and a system that welcomes players new and old, Civ VII is the strategy game to own this year.

    • Critic Score
    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]
