Avowed

Avowed

February 12, 2025
5/5

Avowed is unlikely to be marked as a trailblazer, but everything it sets out to do it accomplishes with style and confidence. I expect to many it'll be regarded as a cult classic in years to come.

I’m ready to add hundreds more to that tally in the seventh entry. Some of that will come in years as the game grows and expands, as is Civilization tradition. But the point is, the foundations here are firm. The legend of one desperate extra turn, over and over again, forever, is secure.

The best thing I can say about Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is that I know I’m going to be thinking about this for a long time yet.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard
3/5

Many of Veilguard's best ideas feel like they struggle to get out of first gear, and those that do find it harder still to make it to third.

Sonic Generations remains one of the hedgehog’s better outings in this remaster, but the best of this release is the all-new story starring Shadow.

Zelda's first turn as the star of the show sees her given some truly exciting and thought-provoking gameplay systems that bring glorious Breath of the Wild vibes to a 2D Zelda game - but missed opportunities also offer up small frustrations.

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is a richly-deserved, lovingly-crafted redo of a classic.

In the midnight hour, you'll cry more, more, more.

Starfield

Starfield is wider, wilder, and more ambitious than I expected - but also shows surprising restraint in many areas. More than the sum of its parts, it's the best game of this type Bethesda has delivered.

Street Fighter 6
5/5

With Street Fighter 6, the series steps back into the ring, bruised and beaten, and proves nothing can keep its fighting spirit down.
