Obsidian Entertainment continues to live up to players' expectations of delivering a game with quality writing, engaging choices, and compelling gameplay. Avowed is all those things and more: an epic fantasy that'll keep you hooked, which makes it one of the best RPGs this decade.
Freedom Wars Remastered is a competent take on the Monster Hunter formula. It has a fun hook and an addicting rhythm to its gameplay; that is, if you can get past the loads of dialogue. All that said, it's a competent remaster for an adequate game.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is a wonderful homage to the IP and makes for a great beat 'em up. With an exciting soundtrack and outstanding visual design, fans of the Power Rangers will be pleased.
Ported by Nightdive, The Thing looks fantastic and has all the bells and whistles you'd want from a remaster. As a follow-up to the cult 1982 movie, the story didn't quite do it for me, and the gameplay, mostly with its AI companions, can be a bit annoying.
There's a decent, tactical experience in Metal Slug Tactics, but the roguelite elements and repetition that stems from that makes things feel old too quick. Messy, confusing UI and infrequent bugs also hinders this title from reaching its true potential.
Killing Time: Resurrected is a charming shooter that stands out for its vast map, mysterious mansion, and FMV cutscenes. Though weapon variety is middling, it's a fantastic experience through and through and greatly benefits from Nightdive Studios' enhancements.
Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred introduces a wide array of new content and changes, most, if not all of which enhance the experience for the better. The story doesn't quite reach the same highs as the base campaign, but the new class and lots of endgame content should keep players coming back.
Tactical Breach Wizards delivers a fresh and addicting tactical experience. Using an array of awesome spells, there are limitless ways to complete the mission, making for a very inventive experience. Now, if only the story was up to snuff...
Despite SteamWorld Heist II's shortcomings, it's a fun and polished game. It does, however, suffer from repetition and lack of depth, so it feels like you've seen all it has to offer after a few hours.
Star Wars: Bounty Hunter isn't a good game, nor is it necessarily bad, but its age shows as you play through its campaign. Not only that but the port quality and terrible camera controls leave a lot to be desired.
