A delightful update that fills the original game with even more humorous and thoughtful rabbit holes to get lost in.

An endlessly delightful destruction sandbox.

A documentary format worth expanding and repeating, more assists, and the same rough but rewarding racing.

The Skywalker Saga's competent design is elevated by its infectious, charming sense of humor.

Even Abermore's cult of beetle worshippers would draw the line at this many bugs.

Chinatown Detective Agency is a solid hardboiled detective adventure with a unique DIY approach to clue-solving—but it’s most impressive as a cultural artefact.

A worthy send-off to Guild Wars 2's Elder Dragon saga, and a reason to be optimistic about the future of the game.

Look past the murky aesthetic and clunky combat: this is an exciting fusion of immersive sim and CRPG.

On a good day, Norco is a bastion of beautifully evocative storytelling that invites any player to take refuge in its world. On a bad day, it cuts deep as a sobering, but loving portrait of a modern dystopia—a community on the edge of great change. But on a personal level, it's a game that understands who we are and what the internet has made us—how this digital constellation of fragmented subcultures has shaped the way we see the world and our place in it. There are few games in the world like Norco, and it belongs unequivocally in the highest tier of narrative experiences in the medium today.

Delightfully difficult combat and meaningful exploration make Tunic a retro-inspired modern marvel.

Better than Borderlands 3, but not quite reaching the heights of Borderlands 2 at its best.

Team Ninja serves up some solid Soulslike combat with a generous helping of cheese.

Fun combat and a sophisticated city burdened with the unfulfilled potential of a far scarier experience.

An overpriced game with a solid combat system that's buried under a mountain of banality and monetisation.

There's still work to be done on the game at large, but The Witch Queen is a massive step in the right direction. The campaign alone is worth the price of admission.

Great music, delivered in frustratingly bitty form. A clever rhythm game that doesn't mesh with its prominent story.

Satisfying sailing in a beautifully soggy apocalypse. I've never felt so connected to a vehicle in a game.

Mortal Sin is a skeletal roguelite, but the surprisingly meaty combat goes a long way to making up for that.

Shadow Warrior 3 buries a fun shooter so deep in muck that it’s not worth dirtying your hands.

Scarf is a nice if not particularly original idea, disappointingly executed on almost all fronts.

An open world action RPG from FromSoftware that reaches new heights, but spends too much time in the familiar.

Deeply silly and all the better for it, the missed political targets really don’t matter.

Ota Imon has something interesting to say with Wolfstride. I just hope it finds the right voice to say it with next time.

Not Tonight 2 does a decent job of adapting Papers, Please to a terminally hateful America, but the premise wears thin with every pit stop.

A brilliant final act with the series' most inventive and unusual factions yet.

One of the most exciting online CCGs released yet. It could use more singleplayer content, but for PvP, it's tough to beat.

Excellent combat and a stunning sense of scale help steer Lost Ark through its more tired MMO conventions.

Sifu will test your patience, but learning how to coolly dismantle a room full of goons with virtual kung fu is worth the pain.
