The Dead Island 2 SoLa DLC is a much better expansion than the previous one, featuring the same enticing blend of wacky characters and explosive zombie slaying action of the base game. The new additions, however, don't expand the core gameplay significantly, making the expansion a worthy purchase only for the most die-hard fans of Dambuster Studios' rendition of zombie-infested Los Angeles.

It's the kind of game, the kind of story that will always stay with me. I'll always be jealous of people who get to play it for the first time because I can never do that again. Play 1000xResist. Live for more than just being alive.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced is a feast for the eyes on PC, with the updated Anvil engine from Assassin’s Creed Shadows doing some heavy lifting with the overhauled visuals. Everything from the physics of water crashing against docks and boats to the inclement weather is among the best to grace a video game. Raytraced lighting with global illumination helps the world appear more vibrant than ever. This is a densely populated world, with points of interest separated only by the open sea rather than by separate screens. The biggest change that players will appreciate is the ability to sail up to an island, disembark, and head straight into a settlement like Havana without running into a loading screen.
