“DOOM is back on a Nintendo system for the first time since 1997 when DOOM 64 released. That’s pretty wild that it’s been 20 years! I was never a big fan of”

“Guacamelee! 2 takes the fluid platforming and engaging beat ‘em up combat of the first title and expands them, leading to an expertly refined Metroidvania experience that feels new yet familiar.”

“Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is a pure kart racer that feels like a return to form for the series and a fun racing experience regardless of your affinity with the blue hedgehog.”

“Dragon Age: Inquisition is the game that Dragon Age II should have been. Set in one of the most diverse and awe-inspiring game worlds in quite some time, Inquisition will have you searching every nook and cranny,…”

“Runbow has been ported a lot since its initial 2015 release on Wii U. What about this game is so appealing or is this party platformer simply overrated?”

“The embers of Dark Souls might not burn as bright seven years later, but Dark Souls: Remastered proves this is still one of the best RPGs of the modern era.”

“Tom Clancy's The Division 2 takes place in the USA's national capital, Washington, DC which is in a bit of a mess with rebel gangs roaming the streets of the now dilapidated city.”

“Its microtransactions are annoying, but Genshin Impact's inviting open world is easy to love.”

“The sleeper hit of 2020, Among Us hits the Nintendo Switch for even more party fun.”

“Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare adds new life with movement and graphics, but falls short on sound design and story.”

“Prison Architect is a great simulator that made the transition from computers to console admirably.”

“Roguelites. Is there anything they can’t do? While this sub-genre of games seems like it’s a dime a dozen, there’s a reason why these tough affairs are so”

“Alien Hominid Invasion is a chaotic and fun game, though there’s so much going on, it’s hard to keep track of your alien, and it gets hard!”

“And that’s why they call it Death Road to Canada. It can be too harsh for its own good, and folks who are tired of roguelikes will struggle to embrace that part of the design, but it’s still one of the better road-trip…”

“Gloomhaven takes the boardgame and turns every aspect of it digital.”

“Strong, handsome and, at times, fantastic, but FIFA 15 still never quite feels like football.”

“Dragon Quest Heroes 2 is another Musou game in a sea of Musou games. Does Dragon Quest Heroes 2 do enough to set itself apart from the competition, or should you just wait for another Dynasty Warriors game?”

“Sniper Elite 5 emphasizes player agency with another thrilling sandbox that excels when you're looking down the scope.”

“As a game, Ultimate Showdown does little to convince you to choose it over the newest Tekken, Dead or Alive, or Mortal Kombat game.”

“Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide is an interesting conundrum. Nothing here is new or particularly innovative, but it is a well-realized experience nonetheless.”

“A call has been sent out to all commanders in the Pilot Federation for help. Apparently things have been getting a bit rowdy over in the Rakapila system, and they’re after some able pilots to come and hunt down any…”

“The Call of Duty franchise continues its inexorable forward march with a surprisingly deep single-player campaign and an addicting multiplayer that is only slightly tarnished by microtransactions and networking issues.”

“An Improvement on the Dead Island formula thanks to additions of parkour and organic moments, but won't reinvent the open world zombie genre.”

“We tell you, it’s a good game! It’s not average! It might have some problems here and there, but you have to admit it is a “Good” game.”

“Dreams are a wonderful thing. After our eyes grow heavy and our bodies fall to sleep, our minds are given incredible possibilities for fun, constrained only by our own imaginations locked away in our slumbering heads.”

“Warframe may have been a PC-centric game when it launched, but it became a popular free-to-play hit on console at the PS4’s launch.”

“Steep is an admirable effort from Ubisoft Annecy, one that is chock full of decent ideas, but held back by others.”

“Back 4 Blood is another great multiplayer zombie game, but some serious balance issues force it to stumble out of the gate.”

“Think of Wreckreation as a spiritual sequel to Burnout Paradise, only not as polished and with the addition of creation elements. It has some issues, but it's been much improved since launch thanks to numerous patches.”

“If you’re looking for a couch co-op game that’ll bring your loved ones closer together for a sweet-natured bonding session, Manic Mechanics probably isn’t the one for you - but what I can say is that if your family is…”

“It’s fair to say the Sonic the Hedgehog series has seen something of a resurgence over the last few years. From the well-loved Sonic Mania, Sonic movies, and”

“RetroMania Wrestling isn’t the most technically accomplished wrestling game out there, but it is a joyous arcade brawler that gets more entertaining the more people you can rope in to a match.”

“For what was initially a failed Kickstarter by the series’ original creator to make it to a final release like this is impressive in its own right, and it is one of the few arcade-centric football experiences currently…”

“Anthem falls way short of the hype due to repetitive missions and lack of content.”

“Ancient Amuletor is actually fairly close to being a hidden gem for PlayStation VR owners, with fun gameplay across four characters and motion controls that work rather well, but there’s simply not enough levels at…”

“Looney Tunes: Wacky World of Sports may not be terribly wacky, but it shines more so than it fumbles.”

“I’ll let you know right away that I’m a bit disappointed by Bee Simulator. That’s partially because I’m a grown adult and partially because they didn’t nail down one of the core mechanics of the game.”

“Soccer Story brings its take on a combination of adventure, sports, and RPG. A cute world is unfortunately undermined by both sporting and technical difficulties.”

“With a brand that covers more properties than there are people in the world, Funko's Pop Vinyls are everywhere; So when you see that there is a Funko-branded game featuring their big-headed Beany Babies, you would think…”

“Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a disappointing parade of bugs, bad ideas, and lousy writing.”

“You’ll be left out with a “meh” after finishing the game. What game did we just play?”
