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.

Little Nightmares II has this entertaining intensity to it that’s as fun to watch as it is to play.

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.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla mimics the Odyssey formula but takes a step backward in almost every way, as we explain in our review.

“This video game is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual events or any real persons, living is purely coincidental. No organization or government agency has approved endorsed or authorized the use of their names or logos or product.”

The buzz surrounding Hades is spot-on, and it only took one failed escape from hell for me to fall in love with its isometric hack-and-slash combat. It’s blisteringly fast but readable even when your screen is full of fiends. It’s easy to pick up but full of tough decisions. There are six weapons, all of which feel worthwhile, and countless god-given boons with which to improve and drastically alter them.

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.”

I’m not even going to try to summarize the monumental impact Final Fantasy VII has had on countless lives, the JRPG genre and gaming as a whole.

Resident Evil is one of my most-played series in my three-decade-long gaming career. I still recall the first time I played the original: where I was, what my room looked like, how it felt to finally finish that last stand finale.

Every so often we tackle dual reviews, where two authors share their takes on a game and provide a single combined score. What better game to bring that concept back than Half-Life: Alyx, the first new Half-Life game in ages.

Back in 2016, Bethesda was following a policy that limited early review access to its games.

The cliched “games are art” discussion is bound to cause eye-rolling in 2020, but Ori and the Blind Forest feels like one of those examples that’s just unanimously celebrated.

All eyes are on you, whether it’s the general 50-ish-year fandom or newcomers, to really deliver. It’s one of the most unforgiving licenses known to man, especially after LucasArts gave us hit after hit to tee up later generations.

My first foray into the CRPG genre was the original Fallout. Yes, the Bethesda-era debut was called Fallout 3 for a reason, as Interplay and Black Isle Studios had been working their magic alongside of industry titans like (old) BioWare for several years before it became a modern-day RPG filled with busywork.
