Outriders
In many ways, Outriders is the perfect example of how a co-op looter shooter should be. The crafting and character build system undoubtedly raised the bar for any to come in the future. The combat is thrilling, unique, and a blast to play. The visceral action and superpowers, simply feel...
Evil Genius 2 is the long-awaited sequel to the cult classic that was released all the way back in 2004. It’s a sequel I always wanted but never imagined I would get. At least without it being a butchered mobile cash grab with its soul ripped out.
Fights in Tight Spaces
Fights in Tight Spaces is a rogue-lite deck builder centered around unleashing copious amounts of whoop-ass in, you guessed it, Tight and confined spaces. The game features many genre staples such as random encounters, slowly altering your deck while you play, and permadeath.
Hades
Hades is an example of a masterfully designed cohesive package. It’s few flaws only manage to surface because of how much the game expects you to play it. Its greatness remains untarnished because you’ll want to. Zeus owns the sky, and Poseidon the sea. Well, eat it Olympus. Hades has...
Cyberpunk 2077
The truth of the matter is, Cyberpunk 2077 is a very good, but very flawed experience, but one that is still worth having. And with any luck, one that will continue to improve over time.
Risk of Rain 2
Risk of Rain 2 stacks up as one of the most well-designed rogue-lites on the market, and is a clear example of early access done right. Its replay value is high, and its fun factor is even higher, especially with friends. The cracks of its porcelain skin are ugly, because...
Phasmophobia
I never thought I’d willingly play or review a horror game. They normally aren’t for me. I’m a wimp, and I can’t stand getting spooked. Yet, every moment that I’m not playing Phasmophobia, I want to be. I’ll tremble, and scream and I’ll need to change my shirt after every...
Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Where Odyssey was rough, Valhalla is crystalline. It may have a couple of cracks as even the most beautiful diamond can be flawed, but this is the magnum opus of the series. The absolute best Assassin’s Creed to date and a great way to kick off the next generation.
Watch Dogs: Legion
Watch Dogs Legion is a solid if familiar title. However, the innovative recruitment system and neat simulation elevate the experience into something novel and worth experiencing, even if the game doesn’t always commit to its design the way it expects players to.
The Survivalists
The Survivalists combines a poor survival experience with a lacking adventure game. The result is a gimped title that struggles to be anything at all. Its novel monkey system isn’t enough to salvage this shipwreck.
Marvel's Avengers
Avengers is an unabashedly great game, full stop. It nails superhero combat to the letter with six mechanically deep and different Avengers with a great campaign and an endgame sandbox to chase loot while taking part in the fantastic combat.
Totally Reliable Delivery Service is a physics-based sandbox game for 1-4 players. It releases on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, The Epic Store and Mobile Devices on April 1st. Joseph Pugh conducted this review on a standard Xbox One console.
