Hollowbody
Hollowbody is a short but great classic survival horror. An intriguing story and great atmosphere had me on the edge of my seat for the entire four-hour experience.
World of Tanks: Heat
Wargaming’s attempt at a more broadly appealing World of Tanks game hits the target. It may be a little grindy, even by free-to-play standards, but it’s such a blast to play that you can probably overlook it while they (hopefully) continue to refine the in-game economy. An easy recommendation for...
Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen offers everything we know and love about the franchise. With a great storyline and fun challenges, it's great for the whole family to play together in a non-competitive and wholesome way. Highly recommended for younger audiences or families to play together, despite it being...
Clockwork Ambrosia
Clockwork Ambrosia is a fun steampunk Metroidvania. There's a plethora of ways to customize Iris's gear and weapons. You might stumble upon a loadout so powerful that you may not want to use anything else, especially towards the end game. There's fast travel, but you may not find the relic...
Forza Horizon 6
Forza Horizon 6 lands the Horizon Festival in Japan with all the polish and ambition you'd expect from Playground Games, delivering one of the most beautifully realized open worlds in the series' history. The dual campaign structure adds a new layer of depth. The Discover Japan content helps sell the...
Directive 8020
Directive 8020 is arguably Supermassive's best game since Until Dawn. The wait was well worth it. Here they have crafted a fun and intense sci fi space horror game. I immediately wanted to play again as soon as it was over.
Invincible Vs.
If you are someone that enjoys single-player content in fighting games, then Invincible VS won't hold your attention for more than a few hours. However, for those who are ready to go online, then you are going to have a lot of fun with this, especially if you are a...
Kiln
Kiln is a delightful and brilliant blend of player-driven creativity, melee brawler combat, and MOBA map design. Though it may be slightly lacking on content, it's a great game to unwind with, or to fire up with the family.
Crimson Desert
As an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sandbox, Crimson Desert is endlessly compelling, and frankly, irresistible. As a single-player RPG trying to tell a story, it falls flat on its face. Amazingly, it features one of the best and most immersive open worlds since Red Dead Redemption 2, but tries to give it purpose...
Lord of Hatred's campaign brings various storylines to an epic conclusion in a very satisfying way. The new mechanics are just as fun as you might expect, and exploring how to maximize the new character types is as deep and fun as you want it to be. The complexity on...
Legacy of Kain: Ascendance isn’t that bad of a game. But it’s also likely not what fans were waiting for. Having three characters to play through twelve levels sounds good. But all three play similarly and they aren’t evenly featured—with Kain only playable once or twice. Legacy of Kain: Ascendace is okay....
Pragmata
Pragmata was well worth the wait. It's an incredibly fun sci-fi adventure with amazing combat, lots of areas to explore, and two of the best protagonists I've seen in games in a while with Hugh and Diana. The story unfortunately may be run of the mill and predictable, but I...
