While Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition is a standalone game in its own right, it's inescapably the third game in a series and players will benefit from playing the first two entries. That said, I think it's a really interesting continuation that builds on what made 1 & 2...
A few technical imperfections aside, Star Wars: Squadrons kept me entertained for the duration of the campaign, and I really enjoyed the multiplayer, in particular, the more streamlined Dogfight mode. Considering it's not quite a full-priced game, there's plenty to get stuck into, although I thought EA Motive could have...
Squad
There are, however, a couple of rough edges, and we encountered a couple of performance issues during our time playing, with stuttering frame-rates most noticeable when covering the sometimes extensive distances between locations on foot, which happens from time to time. It's those moments, which usually come after a painful...
Spelunky 2
Spelunky 2 brings just the right amount of innovation to make the familiar feel new, yet it retains the brilliance of the original in all the right places. There are so many new and exciting things to discover and I don't want to spoil any of them for you. Although...
Super Bomberman R Online is fun little multiplayer game and it's just the kind of thing the Stadia needs if people are going to stick around for the long haul. Like Tetris 99 and Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout before it, SBRO proves just how adaptable the battle royale concept is,...

Beyond Blue is a calming and intriguing game, and if you're interested in life underwater and don't mind the prospect of methodically scanning everything you encounter on your journey, it's worth investigating. There's a lot to discover down there, and the gentle nature of the content makes it suitable for...
When that happens, most of the humans you encounter don't offer much resistance and are quickly consumed, but once the flamethrowers and the energy shields come into play, things get decidedly more tricky. Carrion isn't a particularly expansive game, but it does offer challenging moments. When it works and all...
Halo 3
Like all three games released on PC before it, Halo 3 lands in great shape considering its age, and like its predecessors, you can unlock the framerate, adjust your FOV, there's ultrawide monitor support, and more. The collection itself is an unmissable journey through one of gaming's biggest and best...
The finished version of Superhot: Mind Control Delete is heading to PC, PS4, and Xbox One on July 16.
In fact, the presentation is good across the board and Codemasters should be credited for creating a slick racing experience that will hold appeal to all fans of the sport, regardless of how committed they are to authenticity and no matter their skill level. All the usual extras are included...
