Life is Strange Double Exposure draws you into a mystery full of intriguing twists and turns in a fresh university setting. The new shifting ability that allows for parallel timeline hopping works well in the context of a murder investigation, but can make it harder to feel like you're truly connecting with the characters.

Starfield Shattered Space is a solid expansion that presents lots of choices and exploration, but doesn't really deliver on the horror aspect Bethesda teased.

But as one of most elusive factions in Starfield, Shattered Space feels like a missed opportunity to go all in on the weirdness of Va'ruun and the unsettling atmosphere the opening did so well to establish.
