    Being so devoted to Final Fantasy 7 means that there’s a lot of love to be found in Rebirth. And as a fan of that original game, it was so easy, for a while at least, to be swept up in the dazzling sights of Gaia, in the vibrant amusement park of games and sidequests at my fingertips, to hop on this rollercoaster journey with many of my all-time favorite characters and give myself to the joy of being able to spend more time with them. But all the charm and pageantry in the world can only distract me for so long before I realize: nothing has happened this whole vacation. The ship hasn’t even left the dock.

    Both blissful and demanding, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders is one of the most beautiful skiing games on PC.

    My favorite horror game of 2024, and one of the year's best narratives, period.

    A masterful metroidvania that builds on Sekiro-style combat and tells a great sci-fi story too. Unmissable.

    Halls of Torment's specific aesthetic couldn't be more attuned to my sensibilities as a child of the ARPGs of the late '90s and early 2000s. Give me two honking great orbs representing my health and mana and a protagonist who has no articulating joints in his legs and I'm a happy man, and HoT makes me very happy indeed with its lo-fi heroics and diffuse, stygian levels. If I could play this thing on a beige CRT while Rob Zombie screamed in my ears I wouldn't know it wasn't 1999. Actually, wait, I can do that. If anyone needs me, tell them I'm busy for the next… foreseeable future.

    A gleefully anarchic treasure trove of jokes and skits, TGYH is the funniest game I've played.

    Flexible, fun, and ferocious too, this roguelike has more than enough dungeon diving for everyone.

    A pachinko-roguelike that properly rewards strategic play. Terrific.

    Marvel Rivals is a well-made hero shooter that is easy to enjoy, and while it's managed to distinguish itself from Overwatch 2 in terms of heroes, it's fallen into the same pitfalls.

    Caves of Qud is a genre-defining achievement in play, story, and roleplaying freedom.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 86 Critic Score
    Like if an immersive sim got caught in a teleporter accident with Uncharted. Some aspects of The Great Circle are weaker than others, but it joins Batman Arkham and Goldeneye in the god tier of licensed games.

    Fantasian will make you work hard for every win, but the reward's always worth the effort.

    What Infinity Nikki lacks in difficulty, it makes up for with a gorgeous wardrobe and charmingly scenic world I can't stop poking around.

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 fulfills the promise of being the most true-to-life and detailed game of its kind.

    • 76 Critic Score
    Void Crew lacks long-term depth, but it's already the best misfits-in-space game in the whole universe.
    • 72 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Empire of the Ants features a lavish rendering of the world from a few millimeters high, but fails at the basics of interesting RTS play.

    Just like in the old days, performance issues and bugs don't stop Stalker's mad, wonderful heart from shining through.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 49 Critic Score
    Insultingly short for its price, but that might be its one saving grace considering how derivative it feels.
    • 86 Metascore
    • 92 Critic Score
    I keep promising myself one more go… just like I did the last one more go.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A beautiful 2D soulslike with enough bright ideas of its own to stand out.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 73 Critic Score
    Personality, creativity, and co-op multiplayer elevate this Hades-like beyond its rough edges.

    Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D is welcoming for newcomers, a fan's dream, and a truly timeless classic.
    • 85 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    A gritty detective adventure that's nearly as clever and captivating as the original.
    • 78 Metascore
    • 76 Critic Score
    A smart, stylish adaptation that beats the odds to capture Metal Slug’s spirit in another genre, with a few irritating bugs.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Call of Duty's strongest multiplayer offering in years is dragged down by a tedious campaign.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    A flawed but fun action slaughterfest with a great NPC-possession hook.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    Planet Coaster 2 may not be the deepest management sim you can buy, but its powerful creation tools and newly added water attractions make a sufficiently satisfying splash.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 72 Critic Score
    It's great to have Max Caulfield back, but I'm not sure she ever needed to be in the first place. A somewhat unnecessary-feeling sequel that still manages to tell a compelling story, if not a little messy and underbaked.
    • 76 Metascore
    • 79 Critic Score
    A genuinely enjoyable, gorgeous action-RPG that lacks the storytelling nuance of previous Dragon Age games.
    • 81 Metascore
    • 85 Critic Score
    A tense and taxing but wonderfully engaging hybrid of singleplayer roguelike and extraction shooter.
