    Sonic Mania
    A breakneck platformer that uses classic Sonic as a foundation for something fresh and exciting.
    • 77 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Avowed
    Bigger than it first appears, Avowed is an engrossing and gorgeous action-RPG set in one of the most engaging fantasy worlds going, though it lacks the complex systems of its most beloved contemporaries.

    B-17 Flying Fortress: The Mighty 8th!
    An extremely flexible sim that really puts you in the middle of the flak at 20,000 feet. [Mar 2001, p.80]

    F1 2013
    A faithful representation of modern F1 diehard fans will praise for its depth while railing about real or perceived missteps. [Holiday 2013. p.70]

    Hover Junkers
    Even after the free-for-all matches start to feel redundant, the punchy, full-body action in Hover Junkers remains hilarious fun.
    • 88 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Medieval: Total War
    It's highly addictive (I've played at least 50 hours and still want more), and the variety of factions gives it a LOT of replayability. [Dec 2002, p.96]

    Stray
    Simple, polished systems allow Stray's rich fiction and charismatic star to shine.

    Act of War: Direct Action
    Each of the game's three sides is incredibly well-balanced. [June 2005, p.60]

    The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
    A tense and spooky stroll through a gorgeous world, some fun supernatural detective work, and an efficient script with sparse dialogue.

    Antichamber
    Clever, but sometimes a little cold, this is an accomplished headscratcher of unusually philosophical ambition.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Iron Harvest
    Iron Harvest's mech-based strategy can burn a little slow, but the payoff is undoubtedly worth it.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Total War: WARHAMMER - Call of the Beastmen
    A fresh, fearsome realisation of a classic Warhammer race that revitalises the core game.

    Dungeons of Dredmor
    Well-formed and horribly addictive. [Nov 2011, p.75]

    Rift: Storm Legion
    Storm Legion isn't the most innovative of expansions, but the vast amount of content added makes it practically essential for Rift fans.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The Sexy Brutale
    A stylish and creative adventure with a clever time-rewinding hook.
    • 84 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The Walking Dead: Episode 2 - Starved for Help
    A few technical and dialogue hiccups annoy, but overall TWD continues to be one of the best stories in gaming.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    The Thaumaturge
    The Thaumaturge might be a bit light for RPG lovers, but it’s a gorgeous, incisive look at a world long past.
    • 79 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    AVICII Invector
    A sumptuous fusion of sound, colour and love that everyone should try.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Jade Empire: Special Edition
    The storyline is meaty but short by "Baldur's Gate" standards at around 30 hours, and although this iteration of Jade Empire gets the Special Edition moniker, it contains no new story content. [Apr 2007, p.48]

    I Was an Atomic Mutant!
    We're especially tickled by the game's delightfully campy '50s-era moster-movie trailers used to introduce our origins, and how you can play the game in black-and-white. [May 2003, p.84]

    Monster Hunter: World - Iceborne
    Fails to explore its themes but still delivers the series' most potent monster hunting yet.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Deceive Inc.
    A creative blend of sneaking and shooting that will have squads coming back for more.
    • 80 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    GRID 2
    Grid 2 is an accomplished and visually strong racer let down only by a bafflingly lame Career mode narrative.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Scratches
    Scratches won't appeal to everyone, but for fans of quaint English ghost stories/mysteries, it's to die for. [May 2006, p.102]

    Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
    Not as consistently intricate or surprising as Dishonored 2, but still a worthy epilogue that adds depth and atmosphere to the series' world.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Sacred
    People don't typically play action-RPGs for their riveting narratives. They want fast-paced combat, lots of environments and beasties, and tons of cool magic weapons, armor, and loot. Sacred's got all that in spades. [June 2004, p.69]

    Owlboy
    A beautiful adventure platformer with a cheerful pixel art veneer, but with very modern themes.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Immortal Cities: Children of the Nile
    Carefully balanced and well-rounded, Children of the Nile will be great fun for armchair history fans or anyone who digs smart RTS simulations. [Jan 2005, p.78]

    Borderlands 4
    Even a terrible UI and choppy performance didn't spoil several dozen hours of numbers-go-up bliss.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 82 Critic Score
    Ultros
    Ultros is easy enough that you rarely have to fully engage with its most interesting mechanics, and its writing struggles to effectively convey its lofty ideals. But the lines still connect together at the end, turning this metroidvania into a beautiful, circular experience of presence and balance. It’s a game that wants you to see the world differently when you finish it, and the way everything is connected. If nothing else, what other game lets you take a stroll through an umbilical cord?
