In an annualized title that sees as much use as the FIFA franchise, it's tough to consistently add enough polish, bells, and whistles to make each year a 'must-have'. FIFA 19 introduced enough of a significant jump over its predecessor to become one of those titles, and while FIFA 20's new...
In an annualized franchise, many gamers question if a yearly iteration is 'skippable' or not. There is little room for doubt this year: FIFA 19 is a must-have for fans of the beautiful game. EA Sports has injected plenty of new life into the franchise with its fun take on...

Truly, Cuphead is a game which will give victorious gamers a sense of satisfaction that few modern games manage to accomplish. The nostalgic visual prowess supplied by the game's hand-drawn animations are second to none, and its period-appropriate soundtrack will force its way into gamers' heads. Precision gameplay is key...
Ultimately, XCOM 2: War of the Chosen buries even the most tactically-sound gamer under a mountain of entertaining challenges and adds not only several hours of content to play through, but well-neigh infinite replayability as well - we can't wait to restart the fight and see how a new batch...
Planet Coaster knows its strengths. It's an absolute blast to build attractions and customize each park's look from the ground up, and the game consistently keeps things fun and light. It's hard to shake a feeling of utter satisfaction when one grabs a first-person seat and rides through a freshly built...
In the end, Titanfall 2 has succeeded in surpassing the original title in every way. It delivers an emotional, action-packed single player experience that will leave fans new and old feeling satisfied, and the fluid combat mechanic both in and out of one's titan packs plenty of punches and doesn't hold back...
Worms W.M.D
It took plenty of time, but Team17 has finally found what new gaming features compliment the 2D landscape, and has dropped the features from previous titles which didn't. Gone are half-baked water physics and worm classes, replaced by more creative and complimentary features like vehicles, crafting, and building interiors. The three...
At its heart, Necropolis is a dungeon crawler with plenty of potential. The premise of a procedurally generated rogue-like experience sounds fun, and it certainly starts off that way - but once things start to get repetitive and the game slows down to a familiar grind, the brittle bones of...
What it boils down to is that Umbrella Corps is an interesting idea that had potential, but was ultimately ruined by poor execution. A boring excuse for a single player mode combined with a series of non-complimentary game mechanics have turned Umbrella Corps into its own version of a confused,...
XCOM 2
While we ran into a few sporadic graphical and gameplay glitches, the game is a very polished title that should entertain fans new and old. At the end of the day, XCOM 2 is the poster boy of the modern turn-based strategy game. The game can feel unfair at times, but Firaxis has...
Darkest Dungeon is one of the best roguelike games to be had, and anyone who enjoys a challenging dungeon crawler will find themselves playing adventure after adventure with rotating rosters of forlorn heroes. At its heart, Darkest Dungeon is Lovecraftian horror of the finest caliber - it's unforgiving, brutal, and filled...
