Gotham Knights surprises with a heartfelt story, gripping gameplay, and a refreshing break from the well-worn Arkham formula.
Ultimately, Age of Empires IV plays it far too safe for its own good, more aimed at pleasing traditionalists who weren’t keen on the third game than providing something new that demands to be played. Lacking campaigns means you will likely spend the majority of your time playing Skirmish. At best, it’s a new Xbox Game Pass curiosity, but it’s far from a historic return for the series. Age of Empire IV is available for $59.99 on PC.
Despite being relatively new to the tie-in fiction scene, Lyndsay Ely demonstrates a thorough grasp of how to tell a thrilling tale. It’s rare a book gets me to tear through from cover to cover in a single day, but Deadlock Rebels did just that. Another welcome surprise is the sheer breadth of vocabulary on display. At every turn, Deadlock Rebels perfectly balances greater aspirations with an instantly gripping adventure. Whether you dig Overwatch, westerns, or sci-fi heists, there’s something to love here — and if you are an Overwatch fan and haven’t picked this book up yet, you need to rectify that ASAP.
I’ve got no real complaints about Disco Elysium. I do think it shouldn’t say you’re overwriting a save file when making a new one, and it’d be nice if the developers pointed out Quick Saves are an option. But I didn’t encounter any major glitches or bugs. ZA/UM has managed to capture the soul of classic CRPGs, the passion of an indie project, and the detailed polish of AAA gaming. Unless you’re criminally averse to reading text, there’s no reason not to play Disco Elysium.
