Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker succeeds in its most important mandate from the fans: delivering a proper and satisfying ending to the Hydaelyn and Zodiarc saga.
Overall, Battlefield 2042 is an excellent effort and filled with a ton of competitive multiplayer content at launch with much more planned in the near future. There are some technical issues such as respawns and visual bugs to sort out, and some game modes and specialists might need some tweaks, but DICE is off to a great start and Battlefield 2042 should likely be relevant and popular for years to come.
Cris Tales would have been better off leaning into Crisabell's time powers more. It's a really neat idea that should have been beaten over the player's heads far more than it was. Instead, Cris Tales pulls its punches for some reason and the whole mechanic ends up feeling half-baked.
Outriders is able to crack into the crowded looter-shooter genre, carve out a niche all while telling an entertaining story. Its character-building is top notch, its PvE gameplay is challenging and rewarding, and despite not being a live-service game, comes complete with end-game content that is more robust than most games that are trying to be live-service.
There will be work to do to ensure that Beyond Light's content remains interesting for an entire year and that Stasis is kept in check, but overall Destiny 2: Beyond Light is a solid effort from Bungie and is a worthwhile expansion to pick up for anyone that enjoys the series.
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath adds to an already incredible story experience. If story isn't your jam though, then it might be hard to find value.
If you're willing to keep an open mind, you'll be able to enjoy Final Fantasy VII Remake for what it is at its core: a gorgeous, well-made, and fun RPG that successfully retells one of the best video game stories ever told with a few twists.
Bleeding Edge is, at its core, a fun game that is held back from reaching its full potential by repetitive gameplay and a lack of features that in 2020 should absolutely be standard for any game trying to squeeze into the crowded multiplayer game market.
I’m going to start this review of Final Fantasy XIV’s latest expansion, Shadowbringers, with a complaint and what is probably the biggest issue with this expansion, and FFXIV in general. It’s an issue I don’t have a solution for, but hopefully, the development team can one day figure a way to solve this problem.
There are few series as long-lived and as checkered as Mortal Kombat. After a string of well-received and successful games though between this and last generation, Mortal Kombat has solidified its position as a genre leader, and expectations are rightfully very high for Mortal Kombat 11.
