The Witch Queen fundamentally changes a lot of Destiny 2. There’s weapon crafting, a new area to explore, a new raid coming, tons of weapons to grind for, and plenty of sandbox changes that shake everything up. But the writing isn’t on par with some previous expansions.
Splitgate, a free-to-play Halo-meets-Portal arena shooter, reminds me of the good old days of first-person shooter games. It’s a fun, tactical experience with a high skill ceiling.
Lost Ark is a Korean MMO action RPG, in the vein of Diablo or Path of Exile. It features a beautiful world and engaging gameplay, but it’s held back by clunky animations, mediocre voice acting and an unoriginal story.
Gamedec is a cyberpunk RPG driven by its story and decisions. There’s no combat, just you using your crime-solving skills to progress. Every choice you make carries weight.
Naraka: Bladepoint is a fun 60-player battle royale. Unlike many other games in the genre, it focuses on melee combat and parkour-style movement. It’s a punishing game, rewarding skill, preparation, and mastery of its core mechanics. Though fun, it quickly grows stale.
Scarlet Nexus is yet another great game from Bandai Namco Studios. Its satisfying combat keeps things interesting, even in the early parts of the story when the plot feels dry. You’re in for a great ride with Scarlet Nexus.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition brings the original trilogy into one package, with plenty of updates and improvements for each game, especially the original Mass Effect. It’s a great way to experience the story again, or play it for the first time.
Outriders takes what previous looter-shooters have done well and adds its own RPG flair. The result is a game with a good story, fun gunplay and a staggering amount of build diversity.
Bravely Default II is an excellent turn-based JRPG, full of rich gameplay systems, endearing characters and flexibility that welcomes new players. You don’t need to have played the previous games to enjoy this one.
