This sequel's expansion into a large scale action-RPG is mostly a successful one.
The true dark fantasy of The Relic: First Guardian is all of the potential it squanders; an energetic action game marred by its own shambolic state and broken in too many inexcusable ways.
A remake that pulls this RPG classic into the modern era visually and doesn’t touch much else.
Code Violet is not the Dino Crisis successor you may have hoped for, and doesn't even clear the bar of being a successful clone of the various other third-person shooters it cribs most of its ideas from.
Where Winds Meet has a great understanding of what makes wuxia such a compelling genre, but its attempt to shove so many different things into one game only ensures that none of those elements reach their full potential.
Double Dragon Revive feels less like the miraculous resurrection its title might suggest and more like exhuming a shambling corpse.
The Claws of Awaji DLC doesn't add anything exciting to Assassin's Creed Shadows, but it's still fun to explore a new region and stab people.
From exploration made tedious by annoying checkpointing to the one-note combat, Shadow Labyrinth is a largely dull adaptation of Pac-Man's gritty Secret Level episode.
Splitgate 2 is a decent successor to the original that expands on it, but never really surpasses it.
Yasha: Legends of the Demon Blade can be fun for a bit, but with repetitive levels and a flimsy story, it doesn’t stay that way for long.
Steel Seed is a stealth action game with a small handful of shiny chrome moments to find, but they are buried under a whole lot of mediocrity and rust.
By sharpening the edges of its existing systems, Assassin’s Creed Shadows creates one of the best versions of the open-world style it’s been honing for the last decade.
