Rage 2
The satisfying action and relentless chaos of Rage 2 peppers a formulaic open world with thrills.
Metro Exodus injects life and light into the series, but its mechanics are still starting to creak; it’s a good end to Artyom’s journey, even if the story seems muffled.

Below’s moody gloom and atmosphere is spoiled by mechanics that really cramp its central quest.
Fallout 76 is an ambitious game that’s burned by it. The online features hamper what could have been a great Fallout game.
Death Stranding is filled with things that must be seen, a sprawling, genre-spanning sci-fi adventure from a developer like no other. Its tackier clumps of writing and stunt casting seem overwrought, but its direction and its stars shine brightest
If I didn’t feel the sugary twinge of sentiment in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure, it is down to its pastel starkness.

What I didn’t expect from the new Call of Duty was downtime, and the suggestion, at least in the first half, that guns, while great for going in blazing, can provide just as potent a thrill when holstered.
