Hitman 3
Hitman III is the evolution of what IOI has had in store for the series, flexing their creative muscle to new heights. This game is a blast from start to finish, an experience you can often get lost in due to the massive variety in which you can solve your...
Super Mario 3D World is a damn good Mario game. It may have some issues with gauging distance due to its oddly placed camera angle, it still excels at offering a wide range of variety across its many stages. The game’s newest addition, Bowser’s Fury, on the other hand, is...
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox takes a few bold steps into innovating the series by offering up a pretty spacious open-world to explore in the Prison City of Balduq, and its partially connected outskirts. While the graphics engine the series is running on is likely working off fumes at this point,...
The Medium
The Medium is aptly named, whereas it exists between small and large, it is in much the same way that good exists between bad and great. While there are certainly a lot of fantastic ideas here around this “good” game, it sadly doesn’t capitalize on them as much as it...
Turrican Flashback
Turrican: Flashback, allows new and old players to experience these games on new hardware in a way that allows the authentic experience to shine with a few modern fixes like save states and the ability to rewind a bad jump. Unfortunately, the lack of it being a complete collection of...
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World was, at the time, an incredibly challenging and solid beat’em up. While the original game was pulled from digital storefronts a few years ago, it’s back and playable on current and next-gen consoles. While the game is certainly still a great time, the genre has...
Godfall
Godfall is exactly how I remember most launch games being for new hardware; an incredibly basic premise, visually striking, but dramatically shallow. That said, Godfall still does a lot right, offering a fairly enjoyable 10-15 hour experience while it lasts, but its story and world did absolutely no
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is certainly not without its flaws. While the game is largely broken and unplayable on various platforms, my time with it on the Series X has been nothing short of well.. breathtaking. The long-awaited follow-up to CDPR’s Witcher 3 is here, and it’s a true cinematic masterpiece. Prepa
With Breath of the Wild 2 set to release some time next year, it wasn’t too much of a surprise that when Hyrule Warriors 2 was announced, that it would be connected to this newest storyline as a prequel, telling us of the events that transpired before we suited up...
Immortals Fenyx Rising
Immortals: Fenyx Rising is a charming romp through Greek Mythology that is often more impressive than it isn’t. Exploring the world at your leisure is very satisfying, as are the puzzles you’ll encounter nearly everywhere. The combat is fast-paced and engaging, with a variety of weapons and abilitie
While Valhalla maintains many of the franchises most glaring issues in more ways than one, as well as some pretty severe technical problems at launch, I still found it to be a largely compelling entry in the series for its captivating gameplay, engaging characters, and a world that kept rewarding...
Until Insomniac debuts a sequel to Peter Parker’s story from 2018’s Marvel’s Spider-Man, the developer has offered up a side-story, one centered on Miles Morales becoming his own version of Spider-Man. While the game can often play largely similar to what we’ve had before, Miles adds his own flair t
