    Astro Bot
    Across the 10-15 hours of Astro Bot I gratefully lapped up, I had an immovable grin on my face. I smiled and laughed (unironically) from start to finish—Astro Bot is ridiculously fun and makes gaming fun.

    Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
    Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is impressively expansive, packed to the brim with secrets, and hauntingly beautiful. From the moment I set foot in the Land of Shadow, I was stunned by its gorgeous scenery and captivated by its world, but the most impressive thing of all is the sheer scale of what’s on offer.

    Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
    It’s not often you write over 1,000 words and have virtually nothing bad to say about a game, but that’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It’s a masterpiece, a work of art, bonafide breathtaking brilliance.

    Metaphor: ReFantazio
    The latest RPG is a good adventure worth its salt but carries even bigger potential. It’s hard not to imagine a follow-up title based on scenarios like steampunk or drawing from darker horror. With ReFantazio, Atlus is mostly unencumbered by traditional tenets of Persona—and that may be its biggest strength.

    Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth
    It’s been said before about previous titles, but Infinite Wealth feels like the ultimate Like a Dragon game. It’s bigger in every way: bigger world, bigger stakes, bigger bads to take down, but not once does it let that immense size compromise its uplifting vision. The infinite wealth Ichiban and his comrades share isn’t money; it’s each other. It’s the bonds they form, the memories they make, and their willingness to tackle life head-on and make an adventure out of every day. If you’re looking to discover that in yourself—or to sink your teeth into a massive, dazzling playground—Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth is a vacation worth taking.

    Death Stranding 2: On The Beach
    Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is a therapeutic, genre-expanding experience that builds on its predecessor’s bold foundation.

    Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
    Everything can go wrong during a playthrough of Kingdom Come 2, and even when it does, it’s the most fun I’ve had in a medieval RPG in a long time. The first game scratched the survival game itch I wanted to experience within a narrative, and everything’s been giving a proper facelift for the sequel. Fans of the first one will be overjoyed about the continued story and the refined features, while newcomers will be delighted with the experience and feeling like they can jump right into a living, breathing world.

    Monster Hunter Wilds
    Monster Hunter Wilds is more of the same classic monster-slaying fun, but with new improvements and a seamless world to explore, the grind has never been better. This decades-old franchise still has plenty of fun left to discover.

    Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
    As a whole, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door has a lot of top-quality entertainment to offer, but you will have to accept periods of frustration and tedium along the way.

    Persona 3 Reload
    If you’re already a Persona fan, there’ll probably be enough sheer Persona-ness for you to forgive all the shameless grinding and recycling. For curious newcomers, a lot will depend on whether or not the look and sound of the game push your buttons. If it doesn’t, steer clear, as I definitely wouldn’t recommend it as a gameplay experience. And if it does, you might enjoy it, but the more refined Persona 5 would still be a better entry point to the series.

    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is fun if you’re not expecting a Hollywood movie adventure. The theatrics are there, but the game focuses more on exploring who Indiana Jones is, his background as an archaeologist, and his moral compass guiding him to assist others. The few stumbles that do happen don’t diminish the larger story, and I only wish it were longer to keep exploring more locations with Indy as a guide.

    Ghost of Yotei
    Ghost of Yotei is a refined and visually stunning sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, favoring evolution over reinvention. Atsu’s revenge-driven story and her mastery of diverse weapon styles deliver fluid, impactful combat that feels both elegant and brutal.

    Dragon's Dogma 2
    It may be early, and there may still be some huge releases to come in 2024, but Dragon's Dogma 2 is without doubt a contender for Game of the Year and has set a high bar for its competitors.

    Assassin's Creed Shadows
    An authentic Assassin's Creed experience with something for everyone, and the best RPG-style AC to date. Shadows finally brings the franchise back to the light with refreshed stealth, myriad combat abilities, and satisfying exploration.

    Dynasty Warriors: Origins
    Dynasty Warriors Origins tries very hard to reboot the series in meaningful ways, and for the most part, it’s successful in creating a more focused single-player experience. It delves deep into the richness of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms story, even if it’s at times very poorly told. The core battle mechanics are perhaps the best in the series, with many additions to keep you engaged in combat, but there’s a lot of busywork and bloat that hampers its vision.

    Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II

    Battlefield 6
    Battlefield 6 doesn’t reinvent the battlefield; it restores it. DICE has delivered a visually stunning, technically confident, and wildly satisfying shooter that returns to the thrill of teamwork and chaos. The campaign may be forgettable, and smaller maps miss the mark, but when those tanks roar across a crumbling desert and 64 soldiers clash over a checkpoint, I felt it like pure magic. This is the Battlefield fans have been waiting for, a game that finally remembers what made the franchise special in the first place.

    Crypt Custodian
    Crypt Custodian may not be the most challenging metroidvania, nor does it reinvent the wheel, but it handles many of the genre’s most defining characteristics well. Between its customizable combat system, satisfying collectibles list, and lovely narrative, Thompson’s new release is worth picking up whether you’re newly interested in the genre or a metroidvania veteran—even if the difficulty is lacking.

    Borderlands 4
    Borderlands 4 lacks the polish of a flawless AAA release, but it delivers on some of the most important parts, such as offering thrilling gameplay, an expansive world, and a story that actually makes you care. The darker story and serious tone might disappoint fans who want nonstop jokes, but these changes make the game’s emotions and stakes stronger than previous games. It’s a wild, rewarding journey across a beautifully chaotic world full of secrets, explosions, and loot that never quits. Whether you play solo or with friends, Borderlands 4 reaffirms why this franchise remains a shining beacon in the looter-shooter genre, still messy, still loud, still totally and utterly addictive.
