Astro Bot
Across the 10-15 hours of Astro Bot I gratefully lapped up, I had an immovable grin on my face. I smiled and laughed (unironically) from start to finish—Astro Bot is ridiculously fun and makes gaming fun.
I had high hopes for Frank Stone, but Supermassive has written scarier, better narrative-focused horror games. Creating a unique story-driven game set in the Dead by Daylight universe is a great idea, but Frank Stone doesn't focus enough on the elements that make Dead by Daylight unique.
If you haven’t had the chance to play Age of Mythology before, or you’re a fan who’s played the original for hundreds of hours, Age of Mythology: Retold offers the perfect opportunity to jump into the game.
Crypt Custodian may not be the most challenging metroidvania, nor does it reinvent the wheel, but it handles many of the genre’s most defining characteristics well. Between its customizable combat system, satisfying collectibles list, and lovely narrative, Thompson’s new release is worth picking up whether you’re newly interested in the...

Black Myth: Wukong is living proof that developers other than FromSoftware can create top-tier action-RPGs. Its exploration and character customization are more restrictive than I'd have liked, but its combat and boss fights are second to none.
CYGNI: All Guns Blazing is a functional arcade shooter that’s pretty to look at and pleasant to listen to, but it's an average experience with uninspired ideas that add nothing to the genre.
Only time will tell, but overall, College Football 25 is more fun than I’ve had in years in any Madden title, which is surely a victory in itself.
The atmosphere’s fun, but the vacuuming sucks.
FromSoftware did an incredible job crafting content that enhances an already excellent game. Shadow of the Erdtree is nothing short of a remarkable achievement for Miyazaki and his talented team of developers, and it’s absolutely worth the 40-dollar price tag.
Still Wakes the Deep tries to dig beneath the surface of Caz and his crewmates, but doesn’t go far enough. Without a sufficiently riveting story, we’re left with a horror premise that feels like it’s been done before and more questions than answers at the end of the slog.
