The VergeLatest Reviews
Resident Evil 3 is Capcom’s latest remake of a PlayStation-era zombie classic. But how does it shape up to its predecessor, perhaps the best Resident Evil game yet?
Doom Eternal
Doom Eternal is the sequel to Doom 2016, and it ramps up the action with more intense combat and bigger battlegrounds. It’s out on March 20th for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Google Stadia.
John Wick Hex
John Wick Hex is a game that attempts to turn the stylish action of the Keanu Reeves movies into a more cerebral strategy experience.
Capcom’s hit action game Monster Hunter World gets even bigger with an Arctic-themed expansion called Iceborne, which is available on both the PS4 and Xbox One.
Gears 5
Everything about Gears 5 drips with passion and confidence — from the heartfelt writing and depth of the lore to the structural creativity and the willingness to experiment.
Metal Wolf Chaos XD
A cult classic revived for modern platforms 15 years after its debut, Metal Wolf Chaos remains one of the most gloriously over-the-top games ever made.
Crackdown 3
Review of Crackdown 3, the biggest Xbox game of the year so far. Can the much-delayed third entry get the open-world action series back on course?
428: Shibuya Scramble
428: Shibuya Scramble is a long-lost Japanese classic crime game that channels 24 and is finally available in English on the PS4 and PC.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One marks the end of Lara Croft’s rebooted adventures, and it’s a disappointing conclusion to an otherwise excellent trilogy.
Onrush
Onrush is sort of like if Overwatch were a racing game. It looks and handles superficially similar to MotorStorm, with different types of vehicles facing off on expansive tracks. The whole game is built around team battles.
Yakuza 5
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life on the PS4 is the final game for series star Kazuma Kiryu, and it’s a poignant, bloody, and brilliant finale.
