    Destiny 2: Shadowkeep
    To be clear, Destiny 2 is still an engaging shooter that—when you step back and take stock of all it has to offer—is absolutely packed full of stuff to do. Shadowkeep is both an entertaining assortment of new activities and a solid base from which the game at large can build and improve. But Shadowkeep also doesn't feel like Destiny 2's final form, and there's a real sense that there's still much left to be tweaked and tightened. The subway is being refurbished slowly, one station at a time. That doesn't stop me from enjoying the ride.

    Airborne Assault: Conquest of the Aegean
    Enemies retreated when necessary, attacked when prudent, and anticipated what I thought were brilliant feints, like my fake out at the Khrisophy airport. That kind of cunning AI makes Conquest of the Aegean a great ode to board-style war gaming. [Nov. 2006, p.78]

    Fights in Tight Spaces
    An excellent turn-based strategy that shines in spite of some minor annoyances.

    • 84 Critic Score
    Titan Quest
    Titan Quest doesn't do much more than "Diablo II" did to innovate in the action RPG space, but it's still a hell of a good time. [Sep 2006, p.70]

    Galactic Civilizations: Altarian Prophecy
    True multiplayer support could've nudged this expansion over the top, but as it is, it's mostly a tinker tool and not for those seeking substantial new content. [March 2005, p.71]

    RISK: Factions
    Don't hesitate to try it as a flavorful and humorous new way to experience a beloved strategy template, with the AI or distant friends. [July 2011, p.69]

    Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom
    Offers more of the same good stuff, but no real creative innovation. [Nov 2002, p.128]

    Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4
    Veteran F1 racing enthusiasts - those who don't like to see their PC sims equipped with meddlesome graphic controls and training-wheel physics - are advised to stick to "F1 2002." [Dec 2002, p.98]

    Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2
    Involved, spectacular, space battles packaged into satisfying campaigns, and great fan service too.

    Bridge Constructor Portal
    Portal's systems, if not its clever humor, are put to good use in this fun physics-based puzzle game.

    Orcs Must Die! 3
    A conservative but confident return to form from the masters of a much-loved genre.

    Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments
    This is the detective game L.A. Noire claimed to be. It doesn’t have the inflated budget of Rockstar’s game, but it makes up for its rough edges with quality detecting, compelling cases, beautiful world-building, and and endearing gusto.

    Amnesia: The Bunker
    Amnesia: The Bunker is an essential horror game and an inspired next step for the series.

    Rebel Galaxy Outlaw
    Rebel Galaxy Outlaw lives up to its name among space sims. It’s spirited, good-looking and vibrant, effectively spraying several cans of blue and pink graffiti over the existing space sim template. None of its systems are particularly deep, but skimming along over them can be an exhilarating journey.

    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]

    • 84 Critic Score
    Life is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis
    Life is Strange elegantly meshes time-travelling with nostalgia-riddled teen drama, producing a sympathetic debut.

    Dying Light 2 Stay Human
    An underwhelming story but a massive, exciting sandbox of parkour and kinetic combat.

    Gary Grigsby's World at War
    Much deeper than "Axis & Allies," but just as accessible. A new strategy addiction. [June 2005, p.70]

    Operation Flashpoint: Resistance
    Despite all those flaws, Resistance's branching, 20-mission campaign dishes out some of the best gameplay scenarios yet seen in the genre. [Nov 2002, p.110]

    Lords of the Realm II
    Immense fun for both the empire-builder and the medieval combatant with all the intrigue and bloodletting you could want. [Feb 1997, p.148]

    Zeno Clash
    A completely welcome contrast to anything you've ever played, supported by the most intense first-person fisticuffs we've seen in a game. [July 2009, p.78]

    FIFA World Cup: Germany 2006
    Still awfully limited relative to the encyclopedic scope of regular FIFA games, 2006 FIFA World Cup features just enough content to sate footie fans who aren't getting enough of a World Cup fix from their tube. [Aug 2006, p.91]

    Soldiers: Heroes of World War II

    Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams
    Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams may provide a few hours of polished puzzle-platforming, but don't be surprised if you ultimately end up estranged.[March 2013, p.65]

    The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind
    A great repository of nostalgia-heavy stories, but it doesn’t make the most of being an MMO.

    Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon
    Made with affection and artistry, this retro appetiser is a very pleasant surprise.

    Whispers of a Machine
    Whispers of a Machine is like a good episode of your favorite police procedural: familiar and fun, no more and no less.

    • 71 Critic Score
    Humankind
    A smart historical 4X that doesn't quite match the inventiveness of the studio's best.
