If you’re a fan of role-playing games, but can’t stomach the thought of a 100+ hour odyssey, Scarlet Nexus has a lively, page-turning quality that’ll keep you up past your bedtime, but won’t take over your life. The kinetic, combo-driven combat sparkles, and once the story gets its hooks in...
The wild risks Biomutant takes with its story, world, and gameplay variety make it memorable, and the occasional pain point only slightly hurts an otherwise pleasant experience. In an age of endless sequels and repetitive open-world games, Biomutant is a refreshing step into a universe where the video game industry...
Even with that tweak, Subnautica: Sub Zero doesn’t lose sight of what’s so engrossing about the series. It may have bigger, more deliberate set pieces, but it remains one of the most chill (and at times most frightening) gaming experiences around. Players can still turn survival meters like hunger off...
This rings true during the early stages of a match, as you often spend several minutes simply trying to find the Sheriff with the key. The location of the Sheriff and the vault that contains the treasure are randomized each match, so exploring the levels needs to be more entertaining...

If you like platformers or co-op games then you need to try It Takes Two. The world is brimming with life and ideas. There’s something fun to find at every single corner. Just as your interest might be waning in a mechanic, It Takes Two pulls the rug from under...
Thankfully, Palamutes never get tired or suffer fall damage, which makes retracing your steps across Rise’s numerous maps a breeze. It’s too bad that the game’s other traversal gimmick, the Wirebug, isn’t quite so nimble or reliable. Essentially an insect-powered zipline, the Wirebug allows you to ascend sheer cliffs and...
Like the game’s constantly evolving runs, Loop Hero itself is ever-changing. Its developers are already responding to fan feedback and planning on rolling out some much-needed quality of life changes, like the ability to save. While the current version could use some tweaking, there’s no doubt that it’s only going...
