Horizon Forbidden West doesn’t rewrite the book on the genre, but is a rich experience with excellent characters, design, and mechanics.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits adheres to the old ways of making platformers. The technical aspects are phenomenal and thoroughly current, but the game relies heavily on the design tactics of the past. You likely already know if that’s something you’re interested in playing, and I believe they’ve done an admirable job here.

It's not perfect, but It Takes Two is Hazelight Studios' most refined effort yet, sporting Pixar caliber polish and a shockingly dynamic set of gameplay mechanics.

Hitman 3 is a bombastic, action-packed, flashy puzzle game. If you’ve played one of these games before and somehow didn’t like it, Hitman 3 isn’t likely to change your mind. But it does what it does incredibly well, and is a perfected version of this iteration of Hitman.

It's one of the most anticipated games ever. Cyberpunk 2077 is a confused experience that tries to do something for everyone and ends up failing more often than not. There are good pieces here, no doubt, but it lacks coherence and kicks itself in the cyberware every time it glances longingly at greatness.
