Even six years after the original, The Sinking City Remastered still feels like a rough gem. Its investigative mechanics shine, but their impact is dulled by weak stealth and a progression system that leans too heavily on uninspired combat.

Arkane Studios' shooter is finally available on Xbox Series consoles with a large new update, but it's still very much the same middling experience.

NHL 25 is a solid hockey game bolstered by improved AI and small incremental improvements, but its changes don't feel as substantial as other titles in EA's lineup.

The Medium is a decent horror game that has some really good ideas, but ultimately fails to live up to its potential.

Post Trauma is an interesting experiment in the horror genre that tries to bring back classic gameplay styles to a modern age.

Even with the missing multiplayer, Crysis' sci-fi single player campaigns provide a decent experience.

Lego Bricktales doesn’t break much new ground, but its satisfying and manageable build experience meshes well with its short-but-sweet world structures to provide an easily digestible and relaxing Lego experience.

Tormented Souls is a little rough around the edges and hits a few noticeable bumps, but by and large, this is a solid survival horror game that fans of the genre's classics are sure to enjoy.

Endless Dungeon is a fun roguelike experience.

Atelier Yumia is far from the best entry in the series for newcomers, but it's certainly the largest and most accessible.

The frenetic PvP arena shooter with portals returns but this time with a fancy new engine and battle royale mode.

The newest entry in The Dark Pictures Anthology takes a few risks but mostly sticks to the format to deliver another decent horror adventure.

Poor visual presentation and bugs hold back Kingdom of the Dead from truly shining.

If you like farming sims and have some free time on your hands, Harvestella is worth looking into- though it's far from flawless.

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0’s battle royale is an iterative upgrade.

There's a lot to love in the level design and tactical toolkit afforded. I just wish some of the bugs and performance issues were ironed out so I could enjoy them more. Unless you're a patient gamer who enjoys real-time-tactics games, or a long-time Commandos aficionado, you might want to wait for one or two updates from now to try this out.

Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak extends the monster-hunting adventure while lacking any significant innovation of the base game’s foundation.

Avowed isn't trying to be the next big Obsidian title as much as an action RPG set in the Pillars universe - so it was a year ago, and it remains true today. You could do worse, especially on PS5 at this price, but think twice if story-telling and memorable characters are essential to the experience.

Split Fiction pretty much nails it on the gameplay front, but falters regarding its predictable and flawed story. The one-dimensional villain and cliche character dynamic between Mio and Zoe can't be ignored due to their presence through the adventure. Don't miss the Side Stories, as these supply some of the game's most memorable and charming moments.

The compelling horror mystery at the center of Project Nightmares is occasionally fraught with a frustrating lack of polish.

Despite some flaws, AWE is a very good expansion that brings Alan Wake into Remedy's shared universe and teases exciting things for the future.

No Straight Roads looks great, sounds great, and has great characters- but it has major gameplay issues that bring down the whole experience.

For longevity, Rumble could use a smattering of other modes or potential options to alter the current game mode to stave off rapid burnout.

Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions is not a perfect game, and it's not the most mechanically dense game, but thankfully, it doesn't have to be. Its strengths lie in its unhinged, over-the-top on-pitch action and its delightfully silly presentation. If you're looking for a football game that lets you focus on all the fun aspects of the sport while ignoring almost everything to do with tactics and strategy, this is the game for you.

Madden NFL 21 is as fun and realistic as every Madden game, especially in its new “The Yard” mode and its increased focus on superstars, but its stagnation in gameplay innovation and established modes makes it sometimes difficult to distinguish its improvements over previous games.

A solid Metroidvania in its own right with a uniquely gorgeous aesthetic, MIO: Memories in Orbit is marked by bizarre design choices and a lack of variety to combat.

Supernatural offers a unique horror experience with an interesting story, multiple endings, and a short runtime that encourages replayability. Just be warned that there’s plenty of gore to deal with.
