Assassin's Creed Shadows

8/10

So much of Shadows' issues come from Yasuke's inclusion. Not because he's a badly written character or because he doesn't feel like he belongs, but because much of what makes an Assassin's Creed game an Assassin's Creed is stripped away to make his samurai fantasy work. Naoe's shinobi fantasy works...

Split Fiction

10/10

Split Fiction is more than a hilarious, compassionate, and delightful new benchmark for multiplayer experiences--it is a remarkable love letter to creativity, video games, and companionship.

Monster Hunter Wilds

8/10

It has issues, but Monster Hunter Wilds iterates on a winning formula with another captivating collection of monsters to slay

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

7/10

Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is a solid spin-off, putting fan-favorite Goro Majima front and center with a suitably eccentric diversion into buccaneering piracy. The story doesn't pick up until an excellent final chapter, and it's disappointing that the narrative doesn't delve into Majima's complex personality, but this...

Avowed

6/10

Avowed's impactful and satisfying combat is undone by a widely unbalanced upgrade system and an uninteresting story that wastes its potential.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II

9/10

While Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 still stumbles in some aspects of its portrayal of 15th-century Bohemia, the shadow that lingered over the first game has mostly dissipated. This is a massively improved sequel in every other area, with better combat, quest design, and none of the technical issues that plagued...

Sid Meier's Civilization VII

8/10

Sid Meier's Civilization VII remains as fun and engaging as ever, but too many drastic changes lead to glaring issues.

Eternal Strands

6/10

Eternal Strands' incredible magic system and monster hunts are held back by the game's story.

Sniper Elite: Resistance

6/10

While the campaign is fun but often too familiar, Resistance shines most of all in some of the game's secondary modes, particularly Invasion and No Cross PvP. Of course, bringing a buddy along to play the story in co-op smooths over some of its roughness, too. I do want to...

Marvel Rivals

8/10

Marvel Rivals is a refined take on the hero shooter genre that offers more than just being a comic-themed clone

Dynasty Warriors: Origins

7/10

Dynasty Warriors: Origins evolves the long-running series, meshing its hack-and-slash core with an action-oriented slant that enhances its extravagant warfare.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind

6/10

Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind is an enjoyable brawler that recalls the campy fun of the 1990s TV series, but frustrating vehicle segments and a short playtime hold it back.
