Mafia: The Old Country, on paper, contains a lot of promise for the series. It’s a return to linear form, eschewing the biggest problem with Mafia III; it brings players to the earliest period of this series’ timeline; and it’s set in the mafia homeland of Italy, refreshing the formula...
It took about 60 seconds of playing Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound for me to realize that developer The Game Kitchen has created a strong case for the Ninja Gaiden series to reclaim its home in the 2D plane. Across its 12-hour runtime, Ragebound seamlessly blends gorgeous pixel art, inventive level design,...
Wheel World’s unique visual style, laid-back nature, and delightful soundtrack promise an inviting adventure set atop a bicycle in a world where they’re more common than cars. But the gameplay itself, the progression, and the barely-there narrative break that promise with an experience that only gets more frustrating and monotonous...
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is the first game from newcomer studio River End Games, but it carries the confidence and ideas of a team that’s been working in the stealth genre for much longer. With its top-down view, wonderfully designed setting, and simple but engaging mechanics, each chapter feels like...
Just as the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series made skateboarding more approachable through gameplay, it also brought an at-the-time alternative culture into the homes of players around the world. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, which combines a remake of arguably the most beloved entry in the series with...
DLCs rarely get their hooks in me. While I enjoy the add-ons I do play, few reach beyond a reminder that the base game is good and this is more of that – what I’m looking for usually lies in the hopeful sequel. Lies of P’s new Overture DLC, with...
I was skeptical of Elden Ring Nightreign when I first learned of it. Elden Ring is a masterpiece, and though I yearned for yet another visit to The Lands Between, doing so in a run-based roguelite format with a battle royale-style circle closing in on me wasn’t my first choice....
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector uses an explosive beginning to rip the amnesiac Sleeper protagonist away from any familiarity, forcing them to endure a journey through the stars riddled with stress, unrest, and a foe constantly on their tail. But it’s those feelings, that unavoidable discomfort, that push Sleeper into...
I hated my first 10 hours with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. I then realized I wasn’t meeting it on its terms; I was trying to morph what is clearly a realistic immersive sim-like digital LARP into the Skyrim-esque experience I figured it would be as yet another open world RPG....
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is more than just another release in a beloved role-playing franchise. It’s also the first single-player RPG from BioWare, a team whose bread and butter was once this exact type of game, in over seven years. With a beautiful collection of hub worlds to explore, fun...
Booting up Assassin's Creed Shadows for the first time felt surreal. I was looking at a samurai and a shinobi on the start screen of an Assassin's Creed game. The series had finally made it to feudal Japan. As a longtime fan, though, I was nervous the actual game wouldn't...
Little Kitty, Big City puts players behind the paws (and toe beans) of an adorable black cat in a city reminiscent of Tokyo's residential areas. After falling high from the comfort of their home's window, the unnamed feline finds itself on the city's streets below. With one thing on their...
