Until Dawn
4.0

With a strong focus on visual upgrades, this rebuilt take of the 2015 horror romp can feel more like a remaster than a remake. Still, if you've never played the original – or you're a seasoned Blackwood Mountain survivor seeking the game's definitive version – Until Dawn is an easy recommendation.

Astro Bot

Astro Bot

September 4, 2024
5/5

Astro Bot doesn't just deliver on the promise and potential displayed in PS5 pack-in demo Astro's Playroom, but soars above and beyond to serve up a near-perfect platformer to rival – and possibly surpass – the best of Super Mario's Mushroom Kingdom romps.

Gotham Knights

Gotham Knights

October 20, 2022
3/5

Not unlike a costumed vigilante tasked with cleaning up a crime-riddled city, Gotham Knights has its work cut out for it. For starters, it’s a Batman game without a Batman, trading the Caped Crusader for an arguably less interesting quartet of sidekick protagonists. It also arrives in the shadow of Rocksteady Studios’ acclaimed Arkham series, considered not just the best Bat games, but some of the greatest interactive superhero adventures period.

Sifu

4.0

Sifu's incredibly satisfying combat can make you feel like an action-movie hero, but its challenging encounters and roguelike progression could leave less dedicated players feeling defeated.

The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes is the franchise's best entry yet, acting as a playable horror film. But it still shows room for improvement.

Any concerns fans have about Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales not living up to the excellence and ambition of its predecessor are squashed within minutes of donning the teenage superhero’s mask.

Mafia: Definitive Edition
4/5

Given the fluid definitions applied to gaming remasters, reboots, remakes, and re-imaginings, it can be difficult to know exactly what you’re getting into when you fire up a fresh take on an old favorite.

The first creature you encounter in Journey to the Savage Planet is the “Pufferbird”. Bouncing about like a bunny rabbit and gazing at you with big puppy dog eyes, the avian alien is positively precious…right up until the point you boot it to death.

Fallout 76

Fallout 76

November 26, 2018
3/5

Upon emerging from Fallout 76’s eponymous vault, players are treated to one of the prettiest apocalyptic landscapes to ever appear in the series.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey
4/5

Instead, you assume the role of Kassandra or her sibling Alexios, both mercenaries born long before the Brotherhood sharpened its first wrist-blade. Not too worry though, as you’ll still spend most of your time slitting throats and spilling innards with cinematic style to spare. Some things never change.
