Mewgenics is a fantastic tactical RPG that's good for more than a hundred hours of roguelike runs. Just when you think you have it figured out it'll throw something completely unexpected and hilariously gross at you – and probably a catchy new original song, too.

Starfield has a lot of forces working against it, but eventually the allure of its expansive roleplaying quests and respectable combat make its gravitational pull difficult to resist.

If Respawn makes a third game like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Fallen Order, it'll complete the best Star Wars trilogy in 30 years, hands down.

The first chapter's remaster removes many – but not all – of the caveats from my strong recommendation to revisit BioWare's epic sci-fi RPG from the beginning (or to play it for the first time).

Obsidian has leaned hard into turning The Outer Worlds into a sci-fi detective game with its two DLC expansions – a direction that plays to the strengths of its characters and writing.

Bold use of roguelike mechanics in an open-world action game pays off in interesting ways.

The long-awaited first DLC falls squarely into the “more of a good thing” category.

This is what can happen when a world-class developer goes all-in on the new frontier of technology.

The best way to play 1998's classic Half-Life.

Jedi: Fallen Order pushes all the right buttons for a Star Wars action-adventure. It’s a genre remix that samples the combat and exploration of a lightened-up Dark Souls and the action and energy of Uncharted, and that works out to be a great fit for the return of the playable Jedi.

Worlds collide in this familiar but new roleplaying game.

If the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, I just made a whole pile of good Nazis.

Much more than more Mordor.

This creepy space station is fantastically explorable, and its shape-shifting enemies maintain tension when combat doesn't.

Now with multiplayer impressions and a final score.

We've played for a week. Here's what we think of this enormous and ambitious universe.

We're giving it a glowing endorsement.

Rocksteady's third Batman is an impressive game on almost every level, with non-stop variety and great action.
