Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak adds even more content to an already packed game. The best and worst thing about this series is that it has a tight gameplay loop, and my big fear going into the expansion was that more of a good thing could be too much. Fortunately, Sunbreak...
The criticisms leveled at Nintendo’s Switch-era sports games for being too barebones weren’t taken on board for Mario Strikers: Battle League, which somehow includes even fewer things to do than Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Golf: Super Rush. Like those games, Battle League’s core gameplay is fast-paced fun, but not fun...
The premise for The Quarry is simple. After a brief prologue, we join a group of counselors that have just finished the season at Hackett’s Quarry Summer Camp. They’re ready to say goodbye to the outdoors and return home, but a broken-down vehicle means they have to spend one last...
Sniper Elite 5 puts players back into the shoes of Karl Fairburne, the elite sniper who prides himself in being a constant thorn in the side of the Nazis. This sequel aims to push the envelope with larger levels, more ways to navigate across them, the chance to bring in...
Salt and Sanctuary was a hit when it was released approximately six million years ago in 2016. It distilled the gritty atmosphere and challenge of Dark Souls into a leaner 2D package. It also shared that games’ predilection for subtextual storytelling and featured a world that was on its last...
Wii Sports was amazingly popular and served as the perfect pack-in game for the Wii. Anyone who booted up the game could immediately see that the Wii’s motion controls weren’t just a gimmick and that the Wiimote set this console apart from any other that had come before it. As...

Rather than take development resources away from Hundred Heroes, Rabbit & Bear Studios partnered with Natsume Atari, and the end result...
Trek to Yomi takes us back to feudal Japan… again. Two of the best games of recent years, Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima, shared this setting, and those are lofty heights for which to aspire. My big question heading into the game was if it could distinguish itself from its...
That LEGO video games have proven so popular in the Star Wars space is a feat that is rarely given enough praise. LEGO’s games are all about poking fun at their subject matter; Star Wars is a series where, if you criticize a background character who showed up for 30...
The horror of watching Kirby’s mouth contort over the chassis of a car cannot be overstated. We’ve watched the carnivorous pink puffball consume things many times his size before, but this is pushed to the extreme in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The latest Nintendo Switch exclusive, Forgotten Land uses...
Borderlands is a series that’s largely refused to grow with the times. When you put the first and third games next to each other, it’s shocking that there was a decade between them because of how similar they are. So, when Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was announced, I was intrigued as...
Ghostwire: Tokyo is Tango Gameworks‘ third title, and the first it’s produced outside of The Evil Within series. It’s memeorable introduction to the world by Ikumi Nakamura gave players high hopes that it be a quirky outlier in the world of AAA productions. Nearly two years later, we’ve finally got...
