John Wick Hex
John Wick Hex can be summed up with three words: style, strategy, and simplicity. It is equal parts a turn-based strategy and puzzle game. This initially seems like the exact opposite of the kinetic nature of the films whose franchise it takes its name. However, the smartly-designed systems, clean interface,...
Borderlands 3

Devil's Hunt
With a year that opened with the stellar Devil May Cry 5, newcomer studio Layopi Games seeks to close the year with its debut third-person brawler, Devil’s Hunt. It’s a game that tries to be ambitious, but can never quite muster the chops to be anything but ordinary. So without...
