It didn’t take long for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to kick into overdrive. That’s sort of its modus operandi: it partially assumes you’ve played Breath of the Wild, and already know some of this particular timeline’s shtick and gameplay.

Star Wars is such a complicated beast in 2023. I say that a lot as a general critique about long-running franchises, but rights-holders did this to themselves as a result of oversaturation.

The Harry Potter franchise has seen tremendous ups and downs: the likes of which stand out even among other multi-billion-dollar franchises. I remember reading the first book in a day (the first time I had ever done that) and witnessing the long lines at book stores every time a sequel would hit the shelves. With how fractured media is now, we may not ever see a collective phenomenon like that again in our lifetime. I also recall barely containing my laughter at an insanely convoluted plot point

Review: God of War Ragnarok - Kratos returns with his son in this direct follow-up to 2018's mega-hit God of War.

Review: Ghostwire: Tokyo - Tango Gameworks takes on open world Japan with a supernatural twist, with mixed results.

Elden Ring review — Gather around as we talk about From Software's mysterious Elden Ring, which needs no introduction.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human review — Zombies are back in action in this parkour post-apoc romp, and there are some improvements in tow.

Review: Halo Infinite: Halo is back, and although it's in a modern shell, the campaign feels very much like an old-school shooter romp.

Review: Deathloop - Colt tangles with a killer as he attempts to make sense of a deadly timeloop, with tons of shooting and magic.

Like RE7, Resident Evil Village pulls a few unconventional storytelling tricks to let you know that it's not your typical Resident Evil.

Returnal is a mostly thrilling sci-fi action romp from Housemarque that suffers from a lack of scale at times, and it's a pricey plunge.

It's the little things that add up and make Hitman 3 special. Hats off to IO Interactive for sticking with this series and getting it right.

CD Projekt Red has the benefit of releasing a major game once in a blue moon to a roaring applause.

Ubisoft is sometimes referred to as the king of open world games. For some of you, it has a divine right to rule. For others, it’s a proverbial crown that needs to be overthrown.

After some time with the live version of Marvel’s Avengers, I realized that it had a lot to prove.

I’m just going to come out and say it: Sucker Punch is underrated as hell.

Despite playing every one of their recent award-winning games, I still can’t believe Naughty Dog went from “the Crash Bandicoot company” to a cornerstone of the age-old “games are art” conversation. Every once in a while when looking at Joel or Nathan Drake, I imagine Crash going “Booyah Grandma.”
