Ever since the existence of The Last of Us Part 1 leaked last year, I’ve been firmly in the camp that believed Naughty Dog’s iconic PlayStation game didn’t need to be remade on PlayStation 5. Even though I love The Last of Us and have enjoyed regularly revisiting it since its initial release in 2013, […]

Stray is easily one of the most unique games releasing in 2022 simply because you get to play as a cat and that’s largely how the team behind it has been marketing it. While there is no shortage of feline-related activities like carelessly walking across keyboards or scratching couches, what most people will likely be surprised […]

Ghostwire: Tokyo is an odd video game in all the right ways. While ostensibly an action-adventure title, there are plenty of role-playing game influences like leveling up and assigning skill points. It has all the hallmarks of an open-world video game with dozens of markers dotting the map, but due to the care and specificity […]

If FromSoftware’s past games are considered individual successes, Elden Ring feels like the developer’s “Greatest Hits” collection. It plays like a culmination of every smart idea FromSoftware has had throughout its grueling games while still finding ways to build on the opaque experience the studio’s crafted over the years. The half-jokes referring to it as […]

Horizon Forbidden West is a game that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time, and by most accounts, it ended up meeting my expectations. Horizon Zero Dawn was far and away my favorite game of 2017 and overall became one of the most enjoyable titles I played during the PlayStation 4 era. As […]

The genre might have evolved over the last few decades, but there are very few things that are as satisfying as an arcade beat-em-up. Moving across from screen to screen, level to level, and clearing out everyone in your way can be one of the most fulfilling experiences from top to bottom. There’s something incredibly […]

It’s been quite the journey for Techland’s Dying Light 2 Stay Human, a title that was initially announced at 2018’s E3 and then went radio silent for quite some time before re-emerging a few years later. The long-awaited sequel is finally here after numerous delays, and while it isn’t perfect, it delivers on much of […]

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 […]
