Even with so much of the experience feeling similar to something else you’ve played, Ashen delivers a great sense of wonder in its world, and ends up being a fun journey.

Dusk doesn't mess around with leveling mechanics or a sprawling narrative; it hands you a shotgun and lets you loose on a demon army.

Nomada Studio's beautiful puzzle/platformer gives form to feeling.

An interesting concept can't quite carry this racing/simulation hybrid across the finish line.

Like any good sandbox game, Just Cause 4 gives you the freedom to make your own fun, and has kept me experimenting and entertained for hours after the credits rolled.

Whether you haven’t played Smash since your dorm-room days or you breathlessly await each new entry, Ultimate is not to be missed.

Fighting off swarms of aliens is still simple fun, but Earth Defense Force 5 remains clunky and outdated.

The Council has an alluring premise with interesting choices and consequences. However, it falls apart with absurd plot twists, tedious backtracking, and unexciting puzzles.

Years into its life, the gaming public is still unsure of virtual reality, but Beat Saber has the potential to convince skeptics to take another look.

Valve is back with a clever, competitive card game.

Mutant Year Zero also carves out its own niche in the turn-based strategy genre, but a limited scope and bafflingly abrupt ending mar the experience.

Dancing In Moonlight does mostly right by Persona 3's soundtrack, even if an awkward interface hampers some of the fun.

Although it's not the best rhythm game, Dancing In Starlight is a good celebration of Persona 5's outstanding soundtrack.

What Darksiders III lacks in production values, it makes up for with good design.

Fallout 76 is easy game to lose yourself in, as meaningful discoveries are everywhere. But those moments are often destroyed by glitches, crashes, and technical issues.

Battlefield V feels more iterative than innovative, partially because so many of its touted features are still missing.

Let's Go is a great time whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer to the series.

Don't open the door to this deeply flawed take on first-person cooperative survival.

All three games withstand the test of time and remain fun to play.

Like Agent 47 himself, Hitman 2 doesn’t take a lot of chances – instead it continues honing its underlying formula to a deadly precision.
