    Star Wars Dark Forces is a product of its time, with decent visual remastering, but the gameplay sadly doesn’t hold up.

    King Arthur: Knight’s Tale is not a badly made game; it’s just boring, and that might be worse.

    Promenade is a wholesome, well-crafted and consistently surprising platformer that puts fun and creativity front and center.

    Slave Zero X is a solid hack-and-slash and is an easy recommendation to fans of the genre.

    Skull and Bones is finally here, but tedious game systems and a grindy time investment to get anywhere may be too rich for some to go on this voyage.

    Although seemingly marketed towards the casual gamer, behind the cozy pixel art style and soothing soundtrack of Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story lies a complicated and grindy crafting RPG best enjoyed only by the most devout fans of the genre and/or the parent title.

    Even with the nostalgia from the anime, One Punch Man: World felt a little repetitive in its combat structure—but is saved by its zany dialogue and quips.

    • 60 Critic Score
    Foamstars isn’t terrible, but its uninspired gameplay, deficit of content, and obscene monetization make it a forgettable experience.

    • 40 Critic Score
    Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League falls significantly short of the truly fun experience I had hoped for. Despite a story with potential, the game is bogged down by monotonous gameplay and intrusive live service elements, detracting from what little fun there is to be found in the game. This game, unfortunately, represents a missed opportunity to build on the legacy of Rocksteady’s previous successes, leaving much to be desired in both execution and innovation.

    Interesting combat mechanics and a decent story headline Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior, and finding new ways to tackle each encounter keeps me coming back.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 45 Critic Score
    Silent Hill: The Short Message is a boring, contrived, borderline offensive experience.
    • 80 Metascore

    Granblue Fantasy: Relink might not reinvent the wheel when it comes to storytelling in a JRPG, but as far as fun multiplayer experiences go, Relink soars to new horizons.

    While it may not blow anyone’s mind, Hidden Through Time 2: Myths & Magic is a serviceable hidden object game with an exception level editor.

    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth sets a new standard for the Yakuza series with its captivating story, mesmerizing gameplay, and richly detailed side activities.

    Bulletstorm VR successfully translates into a VR experience on PC, occasionally tripped up by bugs and lacklustre enemy AI that Incuvo needs to address.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Turnip Boy Robs A Bank is a charmingly ridiculous roguelite that packs a lot of humor and gunplay in its short length.
