Bubsy 4D
There is apparently a storied and infamous history to the Bubsy series, but I know little of it. And after enduring Bubsy 4D, a modern platforming take on the orange and obnoxious bobcat, I have no desire to learn of it. Bubsy 4D features a passable platformer style built upon...
As a lifelong LEGO Batman fan, Legacy of the Dark Knight is nothing short of a dream come true. While I will praise the revamped combat, detailed open world, and charming story, it's the design philosophy they're spawned from that makes the game so successful. Legacy of the Dark Knight...
Professor Harry Everhart may have survived the cosmic horror that plagued him while he was trapped on that accursed Pacific island in Call of the Sea, but he still suffers from ominous visions decades later. Elsewhere, university student Evangeline Drayton has similarly bizarre dreams of a life and civilization beyond...
Forza Horizon 6
Featuring fun, approachable arcade-style racing gameplay and beautiful locales, the Forza Horizon series has been one of my favorite franchises since it left the starting line. The most recent entry, Forza Horizon 5, is my favorite racing game of all time, thanks in large part to its stunning re-creation of...
Directive 8020
When Until Dawn was released in 2015, it felt novel. Telltale had popularized a specific formula of interactive narrative, but Supermassive’s teen-slasher horror game took its ideas and applied an impressive layer of creativity and production value on top of it alongside casting choices that only look more brilliant with...
Mixtape
Stacey Rockford is about to move to New York to follow her dreams, potentially leaving her friends and hometown forever. It's the end of an era, the death of their childhoods, and the ticking clock has serious emotional weight. I love coming-of-age stories, but Mixtape stands out even among my...

Invincible Vs.
The 2D fighting genre, once thought to be a dying category, now flourishes thanks to major franchises and underground hits. Invincible VS straddles the line of those two classifications, bringing a red-hot IP into the space by way of a new studio made up of fighting-game veterans. The result is...
Saros
Discovering a powerful (and profitable) new element on a faraway planet is a sci-fi staple that is especially prevalent in modern media, but Saros embraces this trope by making Lucenite’s home planet, Carcosa, the stuff of inescapable but wholly engaging nightmares. Protagonist Arjun fights to maintain his sanity, find a...
Science fiction is often at its best when translating modern-day matters into futuristic allegories, heightening everyday issues into dramatic circumstances to reveal truths about humanity. Tides of Tomorrow executes this principle to great effect in both its narrative and mechanics, and I greatly enjoyed how its themes were so neatly...
Lord of Hatred offers a grim, emotional, and satisfying conclusion to the Age of Hatred saga that began in Diablo IV’s original campaign. A gripping narrative paves a perfect playground to explore the newly introduced Skovos region as the expansion’s entertaining new classes: Warlock and Paladin. Tack on new endgame...
The 3DS release of the charming Tomodachi Life exceeded my expectations. The Nintendo-developed product provided a fun sandbox life-sim experience where things often ended up at their silliest and strangest possible outcomes. It felt like a fun one-off experiment for Nintendo, but I always held out hope for a new...
