Helldivers 2 is a fiercely challenging and visually breathtaking cooperative shooter where failure is funny and success feels magnificent. However, bugs and server issues hindered the initial experience, while there's a sense the game's full potential is yet to be realized.
Embark Studios' multiplayer shooter dazzles in the moment, but its AI voices are symptomatic of a broader issue with artistic vision.
Robin and the gang's co-op outing is all too frivolous and fleeting.

Ravenbound
Ravenbound spreads its roguelite ambitions across an island too big for its own good.
