Halo Infinite is the best Halo game that 343 Industries has made so far. That’s a sentence that I hoped to be writing when Halo Infinite was first announced all the way back in 2018, and while it took longer than expected for the game to arrive, 343 has really done a bang-up job on […]

The Far Cry series has always known how to keep players busy, and Far Cry 6 is no different. Yara feels bigger than most open-world playgrounds and is filled with things to do, though unfortunately for completionists, many of those activities seldom feel rewarding enough to pursue. A superb villain made even more special considering […]

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is the first game that developer Ember Lab has made, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from looking at it nor could you tell by playing. It doesn’t do anything dazzling or revolutionary in terms of actual gameplay, but it’s a solid throwback to the structures of games from […]

Although I’ve always respected developer Arkane Studios, the company has never crafted experiences that I have wholly adored. This combined with the notion that much of what I had seen of Deathloop prior to launch came across as obtuse and cumbersome made me a bit uncertain about how it would turn out. After playing the […]

As a longtime fan of the original Psychonauts and its developer Double Fine Productions, Psychonauts 2 has proven to be everything that I hoped it would be. Despite this sequel coming about 16 years after the first installment, Double Fine has found a way to tap into the same energy and charm that made the […]

If imitation is still the sincerest form of flattery, Resident Evil Village is the sincerest of all Resident Evil games. It wears its inspirations on Ethan Winters’ battered sleeves and doesn’t shy away from what came before it, though those faithful representations of Resident Evil memories yield mixed results. Resident Evil Village is at its […]

Returnal feels like a game that’s slipped under many people’s radars. Perhaps you’ve seen it only through State of Play appearances and promotions on social media, or perhaps you’ve been keeping up with it for a while now either because it caught your eye or you’ve been waiting for Housemarque’s next project. If you’re in […]

Though it is an excellent game by most metrics, Hitman 3 is likely the least-flashy entry of the three that developer IO Interactive has released in recent years. It has a lot in common with its predecessors, which is what makes it so fun to play, but by comparison to the other two installments, Hitman […]

Little Nightmares II might not be the traditional kind of horror game the genre’s aficionados are accustomed to, but it’s genuinely disturbing throughout and belongs in the category every bit as much as anything else that first comes to mind. It’s eerie in a disarming sort of way with its soft and slow gameplay, and […]

Most of the Cyberpunk 2077 characters you’ll meet in Night City have different connections and perspectives on the setting, but they’ve all got one unifying point to stress: the possibilities of Night City are endless. Those possibilities draw people in and keep inhabitants entangled in the affairs of the city with everyone looking for their […]

The Assassin’s Creed franchise has come quite a long way since the original, and though there have been some missteps along the way, Ubisoft breathed new life into the franchise with Origins and then refined the experience further and crafted one of the best assassins in the franchise in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. Now comes Assassin’s […]

Insomniac Games is back with the follow-up to its hugely successful Marvel’s Spider-Man game, Spider-Man: Miles Morales. It’s not quite a full sequel that gives players control of the new Spider-Man introduced in the first game, and the gameplay is familiar but not identical to what came before. The more essential differences come in the […]

Marvel’s Avengers has had fans talking ever since it was first teased several years ago, but now, the wait is finally over, and if you thought the beta was fun, you haven’t seen anything yet. Marvel’s Avengers delivers a truly cinematic story full of blockbuster action, and while that’s impressive in its own right, it’s […]

It’s difficult to stay on task in Ghost of Tsushima. Whether you’re liberating a settlement or tracking down your next worthy opponent for a duel, there’s always something to distract you be it a cry for help or an animal intent on showing you Tsushima’s secrets. Distractions like those are common in open-world games, but […]

Death Stranding is the most Kojima game Hideo Kojima has ever made. Think of it this way: if a Kojima game had a baby with another Kojima game, out would slide Death Stranding. No one has ever made this kinda game before, and no one could. That’s what makes it special. Only Kojima could deliver […]

The PlayStation 4 still has plenty of life in it before the PlayStation 5 launches this year, but if the console’s new releases ended on June 19th, Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us Part II would be the perfect send-off. It’s an absolute gut-punch of a game built on the established and beloved formula of […]

Sometimes games come along that, despite their quality, just don’t capture you in the way they’ve managed to capture others, though it can be difficult to nail down why. That was certainly the case for me regarding the original Persona 5, and I can thankfully say that those issues have all but been eliminated in […]

Capcom really set a new bar for remakes in 2019 with Resident Evil 2 by showing what some iconic Resident Evil characters could look like in a new era of gaming, so the next logical step for the company would be to move the bar even higher with a remake of Resident Evil 3. Some […]

There’s a certain feeling some shooting games can offer that’s worth chasing the first time you experience it. It’s a feeling of being hyper-focused and full of adrenaline while you run-and-gun your way through a level, typically with sheer chaos unfolding around you as everything falls apart within your character’s field of view and threats […]

Ori, the shining forest spirit introduced in 2015’s Ori and the Blind Forest, is back in Ori and the Will of the Wisps, the sequel from Moon Studios. The game takes place years after the events of the original, sending Ori on a new quest. He faces unknown dangers in an unfamiliar land as he […]
