Crimson Desert offers one of the most impressive worlds in gaming, but the deeper you go, the more it asks you to meet it on its own terms.
Pokemon Pokopia is a fantastic blend of Pokemon and life sim games like Animal Crossing that is equal parts addictive and adorable.
There are nits to pick with Toxic Commando, but how egregious they are will ultimately come down to player preference. Some may find its accessibility a win for the multiplayer experience, while some may find it too easy. Some will appreciate its lack of bloat, while others will want deeper...
High on Life 2 could have easily relied on the novelty of talking guns and crude humor again. Instead, it expands on its foundation in some big and important ways. The story actually feels like it has higher stakes this time, with player choices even factoring into how the ending...
Crisol isn't a perfect survival-horror game, but that's not to say that it's not a solid time overall. I really enjoyed Crisol's combat and though the levels are a little bloated, the game still delivers a fairly solid rendition of the classic survival-horror gameplay loop. Genre fans should definitely make...
Nioh 3
Ultimately, Nioh 3 feels like a confident step forward for the series, expanding player freedom through its Ninja style, Style Shift system, and deep build-crafting without losing what makes Nioh work. While its open-field design can lean on tired ideas, it rarely drags the experience down, and the game's combat...
At launch, Highguard has five maps, eight Wardens, and one game mode. Highguard's flagship Raid mode is a lot of fun, but there is so much potential here to expand into other modes that perhaps cater to other gaming tastes. There's no reason why Highguard's action and characters can't shine...
Despite the fumble here, I think that an open world Metroid Prime game can work, but it can't be a half-measure like Beyond is. Beyond could have been a revolutionary step forward like Breath of the Wild was for Zelda, but instead it's a weird in-between that is only fun...
Octopath Traveler 0 is a game I'm glad I spent time with, even if it made me sigh as often as it made me lean forward. It delivers some of the series' most memorable moments, both in how it tells its story and in how it lets you build a...
There is a lot to love about Where Winds Meet. Its combat mechanics are stellar, its world is remarkable, and it offers several fun twists on tried-and-true RPG mechanics. You have to pass challenges to prove that you've progressed to continue leveling up, which means you can't cheese your way...
As much as I've already tried, Arc Raiders keeps pulling me back in for reasons I can't always explain. It's fast, punishing, and unpredictable, yet it never forgets to be fun. Its world feels alive in a way that makes every step Topside matter, every run tell its own story,...
There's an entire meta-game at play within King of Meat when it comes to the dungeon creation mode, which is one area where I'd expect the game to have a bit of a longer tail. Players who get enjoyment from titles like Minecraft or even Super Mario Maker will find...
