There's a decent horror game somewhere in here, but frustrating controls and barebones remastering work hold it back.

The DLC's Infiltration Missions will surely appeal to fans of classic Assassin's Creed games, but by and large, Valhalla's second DLC feels like more of the same. It's a solid expansion, but far from essential.

The developers deserve credit – it would have been far too easy to do the bare minimum and call it a day.

While other parts of the package are weaker and drag it down, this is the rare anime adaptation that can be recommended even to those who may not already be fans of the property.

FIFA 21 is solid and still immensely playable, but very stale, and rather unnecessary.

Project Winter is a solid, enjoyable multiplayer experience. Its blend of survival and social deception is executed largely well, and though its various mechanics can often pile on top of each other to overwhelm the player, when all of them are working in harmony, it's hard not to have fun.

The Harry Potter license and intriguing gameplay do little to save Quidditch Champions from faltering in multiple ways.

Atlas Fallen has legitimate strengths in its quick, snappy sand surfing, but with clunky movement, inconsistent combat, and just an all-around lack of polish, it ends up being weighed down by far too many issues to be able to live up to its proper potential.

There’s nothing in the Bloody Ties expansion that warrants returning to the game, especially if you’ve been playing it since release. Its story is rather boring, and its new combat encounters are dull.

Double Fine's latest sees creativity and destruction collide in an awkward, barebones competitive multiplayer experience.
