After almost a month with Marathon, it feels safe to say that Bungie's new Sci-Fi extraction shooter should be considered a new multiplayer great.
Just like the Arsenals the game revolves around, Daemon x Machina: Titanic Scion has a very strong core, but one that frequently comes under attack. The central loop of finding new gear and experimenting with new builds and playstyles remains satisfying long after the credits roll, and there's a plethora...
Gears of War: Reloaded is a remaster of a 2006 game so players going into the game with that in mind will likely be happy with what's on offer. But those expecting a truly modernized version of this flagship Xbox game might be disappointed, especially if they're PlayStation newcomers who...
Sword of the Sea is the epitome of short and sweet. All aspects of the game's presentation, from visuals to audio design to score, are the best they possibly could be, and they all go hand in hand with the game's exceptionally smooth and engaging traversal mechanics to deliver a...
The Lord of the Rings has been on a bit of a losing streak since 2017's Middle-earth: Shadow of War. 2023 brought two Lord of the Rings titles, with the first being the infamously panned Gollum, and the second being the slightly better-received Return to Moria. Now, after a few...
My time with Rematch was also plagued by a litany of other, slightly less severe bugs. In one match, one of our goals counted as the opposing team's. Several matches saw the ball start on the wrong side of the pitch following a goal. And a common issue was not...
Back in 2017, French developer Sloclap released its first game, Absolver, an action-RPG with a heavy emphasis on grounded, physics-based melee combat. For its second project, Sloclap took those combat mechanics and refined them to near-perfection, delivering the kung fu movie love-letter Sifu in 2022. But three years later, Sloclap...
Technically a spinoff and not a fully-fledged mainline sequel, Sniper Elite: Resistance sees players assume the role of Harry Hawker, a Special Operations Executive agent tasked with hunting down a secret Nazi super-weapon that could jeopardize the imminent D-Day operation, a journey that takes Hawker across WW2-era France. In a...
Originally released in April 2000 for the PlayStation, Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles received a very divisive reception on launch. But like most Star Wars games, it became a core part of some fans' childhood. Developer/publisher Aspyr is tapping into that nostalgia with its 2025 port of Star...
In short, Wild Bastards is a roguelike first-person shooter just like Void Bastards, but it has an additional layer of turn-based strategy that its predecessor didn't have. This gives Wild Bastards a very different sense of pace, and while that might disappoint some fans, there's still plenty that's worth checking...
Released on September 3 2024, Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions sees players pick up a broom, take to the skies, and compete in the iconic Wizarding World sport. After its absence in Hogwarts Legacy, many fans were champing at the bit for a Quidditch video game, and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions...
Ultros
On the whole, Ultros is another surprisingly great 2024 Metroidvania, and an incredibly impressive first outing for developer Hadoque. While its combat may leave a little to be desired, and some of its major gameplay decisions might be a tad off-putting initially, Ultros is a gorgeous game that should keep...
