But beyond that, there are a few areas that could use some fine-tuning. Specifically in its RPG mechanics, which can feel like a grind for upgrading vehicles. It also lacks tracks and modes, but that’s something that can be fixed over time. It’s still an issue for launch, though I’m...

The DLC drops tomorrow, and I can’t even tell you how much it will cost, as nothing has been announced outside of it being paid content, but hey, if it’s cheap enough, then I’d say it could be worth the buy. Otherwise, it’d be a hard sell even to fans...

I’m only saddened by the fact that this is the only expansion Cyberpunk 2077 is receiving. But I’m glad the studio has gone all out with it, incorporating so much feedback over the years to make the very game we’ve dreamt about. Whatever lies next for CDPR, well, that’s something...

Despite some of the things I have issues with, I can confidently say that Starfield is an absolute must-play. There’s so much to love about the game, and honestly, it might just be the best space RPG out there of this caliber. It has everything you’d want from a Bethesda...

There’s a lot of potential in Atlas Fallen that, sadly, feels heavily bogged down by its forgettable and, at times, repetitive story. If you can look past that, you’ll find Atlas Fallen has much to offer. It’s a great callback to classic hack-and-slash titles, filled with hours of senseless, monster-slaying...

The minor issues the game has doesn’t detract from the incredible experience Clive & Co. bring to the table. Players will be treated to a compelling tale, stunning visual spectacles, and a fluid and fun combat system. What’s even more impressive is, Square Enix manages to make the franchise “grow...

The premise of a Gollum game was already questionable when it was first announced, but I tend to be optimistic, as I usually find the oddest ideas to be the most surprising, that is, if, and only if they work. Sadly that’s not the case with Gollum, as it’s more...

I wish I could rewind this whole experience, just so I can play it for the very first time again because if there is one thing that has now dawned on me, the one thing that has now struck a bit of fear, it’s that I now have to wonder...

Wo Long is still an entertaining game to play through. Its combat is solid, making it closer to Sekiro, Ninja Gaiden, and even Onimusha, though I do feel some things could have been fleshed out more. Souls and Nioh fans will no doubt be right at home with this, as...

I feel like a kid again, reliving every magical moment I’ve ever had with the franchise, screaming and jumping with excitement during every minute of my playthrough. I strongly recommend playing Hogwarts Legacy, as it’s easily an early frontunner for easy Game of The Year.

The game serves as an excellent foundation for (what is hopefully) the start of a franchise. The gameplay is fun, though with flaws, and the writing and story are hilarious, despite overstaying in some parts. And visually speaking, I think this might be one of the best-looking games I’ve played...

If you’re a big fan of the Ghostbusters IP, then I cannot recommend Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed enough. Sure, it’s not the greatest game you’ll play, but it’s certainly one you’ll have fun with. Playing with friends of course may be the key to that enjoyment, but the game itself is...
