Although I might seem down on Aliens: Dark Descent, there is a great game here under the inconvenience that is the main systems constantly getting in your way of trying to have fun. Balancing this out so scenarios aren’t piling on top of one another at the same time would...
A Wonderful Life is an amazing pick for those who love Story of Seasons, want to revisit a nostalgic location, or just pick up something new. With its unique mechanics and endearing setting, it is hard not to want to keep playing for hours at a time – especially with...
F1 23
F1 23 takes big swings, and most of them pay off. F1 World is a solid foundation that can be built on year after year, and Braking Point is an engaging story mode you can play through once. But the general shift into more multiplayer focus without the proper tools...
There is so much to love in Planet of Lana. The visuals, the audio design, and the gameplay combine to create something that feels like you just slot into it. This is a game that everyone was born to play. It’s not overly complicated, except for one puzzle, and it...
Those who have played the original versions of the Layers of Fear series won’t find much new content in this latest iteration of the games, but new players will be experiencing their best versions to date. Konami might have deprived the world of P.T., but Layers of Fear is a...
The gameplay is still as stressful and downright fun as it was years ago, but the visual upgrades make for an overall better experience. That said, it is a niche game. It’s not for everyone, and that’s perfectly fine. It’s found its own cult following, it knows what it wants...

Street Fighter 6 is a game you can show someone who’s never played fighting games. It’s a game I’ll probably play for this entire generation. Street Fighter 6 isn’t just one of the best games I’ve played this year, it’s a game that has unlocked an entire genre for me....
Diablo IV
As someone who’s played every Diablo game at launch and amassed a ridiculous amount of hours endlessly clicking away at monsters on the screen, Diablo IV is absolutely the most refined and complete experience in the series yet. With a sinister and brutally harsh world to explore, the game is...
Gollum isn’t protagonist material, at least not for a video game. He is a wretched creature who only survived the events of The Hobbit because Bilbo took pity on him. If The Lord of the Rings: Gollum can be said to have one achievement, it perfectly emulates the painful experience...
Ultimately, the best thing about the game is that it respects you and your time. There’s never a dull moment, you can always find something to do even if you’ve completed everything on offer, and it makes you feel smart. No game has ever made me feel valued like Tears...
