    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
    Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty’s engaging combat, satisfying parries and decent level design help this Soulslike become a truly entertaining package.

    Ion Fury
    The issue is that it is trying to nail something that started to feel stale almost 20 years ago when a little game called Half-Life came out and changed everything.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Pacer
    Pacer’s lacklustre career mode and some dodgy event types might be turn-offs, but the core racing gameplay makes up for it.

    Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves
    Intricate mechanics, accessible controls and amazing graphics help make Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves an easy fighting game to recommend.

    Life is Strange 2: Episode 2 - Rules
    Life is Strange 2: Episode 2 is easily one of the best episodes in the franchise, a beautiful continuation of the story and an improvement on the first episode in almost every way.

    Pacific Drive
    Pacific Drive is a rare experience in the space of roguelikes that combines unique mechanics with a deep story that not very many games in the genre offer.

    River City Girls
    Though River City Girls may be called a side story in this universe, it has become one of my favorite games of the year.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Ghostrunner 2
    A sophomore cyberpunk slasher, Ghostrunner 2 successfully builds on the foundation of the original game with new abilities and gimmicks.

    Like a Dragon: Ishin!
    Like A Dragon: Ishin is a competent remake of a previously Japan-only release, but series veterans might find more issues to nitpick over.

    Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
    While still Borderlands at its core, Wonderlands stands on its own as a great entry that’s worth trying.
    • 78 Metascore

    Indivisible
    Indivisible initially impresses with a tight package that visually stuns but after hours of repetition and ease, I’d rather take some time apart.

    Hell is Us
    While the combat leaves something to be desired, particularly when it comes to variety, Hell Is Us’ exploration of the cycles of violence and combat carries the whole experience.

    Granblue Fantasy: Versus
    Granblue Fantasy Versus is a fun and addictive new challenger to the fighting game throne.

    SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE
    SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE takes the bullet time brilliance of its predecessor and adds many new toys to its violent chessboard to even more thrilling effect.

    Football Manager 2021
    Although Football Manager 21 isn’t as in-depth on Xbox Series X as it is on PC, it manages to provide a fun and engaging management simulator that has been sorely missing from consoles for some time.

    Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name
    Like A Dragon Gaiden should tide fans over until Infinite Wealth drops as a shorter yet still enjoyable romp, but this is hardly a series highlight.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Life is Strange 2: Episode 3 - Wastelands
    Life is Strange 2's third episode is the shortest so far, but that doesn't mean it doesn't still pack a punch.

    Green Hell
    Green Hell wants to put you through hell and back in an uncompromising and original survival experience with one of the best narratives the genre has ever provided to boot.

    WWE 2K22
    Though not a flawless reinvention, WWE 2K22 is a monumentally large step in the right direction for the series.

    Remnant: From the Ashes
    From the Ashes is a brilliant game that takes what is good about Soulsborne and combines it with a satisfying co-op shooter.

    El Paso, Elsewhere
    El Paso, Elsewhere might suffer from some filler levels, but the excellent gameplay and writing make it worth checking out.

    Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet
    A perfect homage to an older genre, Nelly Cootalot: The Fowl Fleet is filled with humor and charm.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 90 Critic Score
    Eastward
    Simultaneously a throwback and a breath of something new, Eastward is a magic trick of blending familiarity with novelty and grim apocalyptic sci-fi with wide-eyed fantasy.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Shakedown Hawaii
    Shakedown: Hawaii offers a wonderful cavalcade of carnage down in paradise. The place is inviting, but may lose its appeal for some after the jokes and violence get old.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia
    The Textorcist offers a unique twist on bullet hell gameplay that’s bogged down by annoying design and bad dialogue. Impressive but disappointingly few boss fights provide some hours of entertainment, but the game has little else to offer.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series - The Final Season Episode 3: Broken Toys
    The undead series about the undead stumbles a little in its revival episode, though it still retains tension, great setpieces, and undeniable heart.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    The Sojourn
    While repetition defines The Sojourn as more of an attractive collection of brain teasers than a rich narrative experience, its intricate levels and creative puzzle design will engage any player looking for gratifying challenges of a slower pace.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    Lost Words: Beyond the Page
    Lost Words is an emotional journey that is told beautifully, and only slightly let down by the lack of gameplay and puzzles in between the fantastic storytelling.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Samurai Shodown
    Though some weak modes dampen the overall package, Samurai Shodown might just offer the best pure fighting game experience in recent memory, for both veterans and newcomers alike.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 65 Critic Score
    Pepper Grinder
    Even with all that said, though, Pepper Grinder’s core gameplay is still ridiculous fun, and raising the flag at the end of each platforming level still feels triumphant, if only for short-term pleasure. Pepper Grinder is a short game, only four to six hours, so the lack of other compelling aspects feels disappointingly underwhelming. Still, the thrill of the precision-heavy chase is an oh-so-tempting one, even if you won’t remember the chase very well afterward.
