Giant Bomb

The greatest track design in the history of the genre.

Zero Parades: For Dead Spies is weird, beautiful, and dense with characters that I wanted to understand. It plays with its choices and narrative threads with confidence, allowing foundational elements to rot and die in service of the paths the player is willing to take.

Somehow, the Dark Souls influences keep Mina from being the best Zelda-style game it could be, while the Zelda mechanics prevent it from reaching the heights of the best Soulslikes.

Stop saying Jeff Grubb is "the Bubsy guy."

New ideas abound in Nintendo's fresh new direction for the Yoshi series.

In a lot of ways, this is my ideal video game. Becoming one with the controller and the vehicle in a drop-dead-gorgeous setting that essentially never runs out of content? It’s almost perfect, and I think it’s fair to use that word for the craft that is on display in Forza Horizon 6.

I will never dislike a game that looks this good and plays this well. But the lessons that Housemarque learned from Returnal resulted in a game that is less than the sum of its parts.

I’ve been rooting for Quarter Up and this game since its announcement, and I’d love to see a dedicated competitive scene latch onto its brilliantly thoughtful tag team system for years to come. Sadly, I just can’t imagine that Invincible VS will stick the landing with many Offline Warriors.

Nintendo newest foray into joyful absurdist comedy is light on gameplay mechanics and heavy on laughs.

Frustrating and uneven, Mouse: P.I. For Hire’s gorgeous art style is let down by middling gameplay and a clumsy script.

Shoot, hack, and be a dad. Pragmata is an exhilarating, fast-paced sci-fi shooter experience.

A new entry in the series after 20 years away, Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is a shambling bag of strange choices that rarely honors what made the series memorable in the first place.

Have you ever had “all-dressed” chips? They’ve been around in Canada for a while and they just kind of toss every flavor onto one chip. It’s BBQ, sour cream & onion, ketchup, garlic, and whatever else was sitting around the chip factory that day. They’re good!  Would you like a similar approach to a new Resident Evil? If so, I’ve got just the game for you. Resident Evil Requiem (there’s a 9 hiding in that title, trust me) very deliberately crams so much of the franchise’s 30-year history into on

Mario Tennis Fever has me worried for Nintendo’s sports games on Switch 2. It’s not worse than any of the sports games on Switch 1, but it’s also not any better.

With tight, expressive platforming controls and a charming art style, BIG HOPS is an absolute joy to play - consistently rewarding experimentation and momentum while rarely getting in its own way.

Bitmap Bureau demonstrates a love for the sci-fi classic and the 16-bit era of action games, but a lack of content makes this throwback a hard sell.

After a rocky development history, Samus finally lands on the Switch 2 with one of her greatest adventures.

Capcom raises the bar for remakes – again.

Even those dumbass Rabbids can't bring down this great sequel.

It gets its hooks in deep and fast, but the true fun and challenge in Neon White becomes apparent the more you play it.
