ARC Raiders
ARC Raiders is a PvPvE Extraction shooter where Humanity has been driven underground by robotic threats. And while those threats are smart, agile, and cunning, the biggest threat to Humanity just might be itself.
Obsidian is back with another installment of The Outer Worlds. As rifts begin to appear in the Arcadia Star System, you’ll work against or with different factions to save the galaxy. With deeper gameplay and progression systems, The Outer Worlds 2 is a step above its predecessor, but its companions
With four player co-op, a competent track builder, and a great feel to its gameplay, Hot Wheels Let's Race Ultimate Speed is a solid racer with a “Kart Racer” feel. Fans of the show, or the genre in general, will find a lot to like here.
Painkiller 2025 is a reimaging of the original game, albeit with very little connective tissue. While the story, characters, and endgame all fall flat, the core gameplay is a wild ride, even if the inspiration from Doom 2016 goes a little too far and causes the game to lose much...
Bye Sweet Carole has all the hallmarks of classic adventure games and the countless point and click games of the past. It handles horror in such a unique way due to its Disney-like presentation, and frankly, the whole experience feels like a truly interactive animated film.

What stuck out to me first when seeing Absolum for the first time was its striking visuals, having a balance between the art of both Marvel Comics’ Chris Bachalo and Hellboy’s Mike Mignola, heavy with black lines and a solid use of strong black pockets that help the colors around...
Supermassive Games may have nailed what made the first two games so beloved, but it feels like a safe road they’ve traveled here as opposed to taking some risks to mark their own stamp on the game.
Yooka-Replaylee is a solid platformer, even if it does feel like some of its original vision has been dissected away in favor of improving the overall feel of the game. With the conveniences of a map, fast travel, and better controls, some of the original’s flaws can creep up, but...
While Dice of Destiny is a solid idea, taking these characters and injecting them into a Diablo-like, the game simply is far too shallow and repetitive to really maintain much interest beyond the appeal of these timeless characters.
