Exoprimal is at its best an extremely engaging and fun game that offers intense and exciting battles against both soldiers and dinosaurs.

It is one of these games that is the full package. It has engaging mechanics that really make you want to play, it has a visual style that really highlights everything the game is trying to do, and it has some of the best and most varied music I've heard in a while.

Viewfinder is both clever and fun throughout, delivering some of the best and most unique puzzles this side of The Witness. The story could be more engaging, and more content wouldn't hurt, but that doesn't stop Viewfinder from being one of the most ingenious games in quite a while.

It's a thought-provoking and complex coda to the game that impressed us so much in 2016. But it also has something important of its own to say. And I've never heard anything like it in a computer game before.

While the game feels both unbalanced and frustrating at times, the core gameplay experience is chaotic, exhilarating and fun throughout. With more modes and maps, this could end up as a sleeper hit, although having to pay for entry might hurt the game's chances of finding a big enough player base.

It's not revolutionary by any means, but what's there is solid, well thought out and works well.

Tears of the Kingdom is Nintendo's full realization of the vision Breath of the Wild started, trumping it in every area.

A strong beginning, but the fun fades when Humanity moves away from the puzzles in favor of action.

An engaging and challenging, but still unfinished game.

As a game, Redfall simply doesn't measure up. The familiar Arkane magic that has always lurked in the developer's previous games is completely absent. Instead, we get an experience that is just as limp and uninventive as it looks.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is almost the perfect sequel. Sadly, improvements in gameplay, story, visuals and more is mired in an undercooked package, with horrible performance and fatal crashes plaguing, at the very least, the game's launch week.

With Everspace 2, Rockfish takes the leap from roguelike to a full-fledged space adventure in a giant galaxy. Here there are endless things to explore, but a lack of variety means that the experience quickly loses its zest.

Bayonetta Origins is a charming and colorful journey that replaces intense action with puzzles and wonder.
