Battlefield 6 isn’t quite as great as a couple of the series’ previous entries, but it’s still better than most of them, and is far and away the best AAA shooter to release this decade.
Arena Breakout: Infinite is a simpler, less stressful copy of more well-known extraction shooters.
Killing Floor 3 isn’t as good as its predecessors, but is still better than a lot of its contemporaries.
DOOM: The Dark Ages is a surprisingly safe sequel, but an unsurprisingly excellent game.
Blue Prince, while not without one questionable design choice, is a solid title that embodies everything right about the indie game genre.
The Last of Us Part II Remastered on PC is the best version of one of the best games ever created.
Atomfall is a good post-apocalypse game, and one that’s almost as much of a love letter to United Kingdom culture as Doctor Who, but it ultimately lacks anything to set it apart from its contemporaries.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, although not without its faults, is far and away the best Call of Duty game to release in almost a decade.
Starship Troopers: Extermination, like all Starship Troopers media made after 1997, isn’t worth knowing (more) about.
Although Starfield: Shattered Space isn’t objectively terrible, it’s both lacking in content and creativity, and serves as a staunch reminder that not every game’s first major update in over a year can be as good as Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
Frostpunk 2, while not as depressingly winter wonderland-y wonderful as its predecessor, is still as solid as ice in a pre-global warming whiteout.
