WWE 2K23 takes everything WWE 2K22 did right, tweaks it in the best way possible, and adds even more content to keep it fresh.
It’s a shame that Koei-Tecmo decided to trot out these latter-day Fatal Frames instead of the older ones, because at a time when there’s a bit of an old-school fixed-camera horror renaissance (see: The Medium, Tormented Souls, The Hotel), the original trilogy would fit right into the current zeitgeist. It’s...
But, for new players? This isn’t a great expansion to jump into. I’d still recommend the Witch Queen expansion for players interested in trying out Destiny for the first time. After that, if you’re all-in on what Destiny 2 has to offer, give Lightfall a look. The neon-lit aesthetic of...
All complaining aside, what ultimately makes a game great is whether it's fun, and I have to admit that, despite my frustrations, I'm not ready to give up. No matter how disappointed I am with the game and myself after each "Crushing Defeat," I find myself wanting to go back...
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe not only got me as giddy as a youngster in a candy shop, but was a solid reminder that, with a bit of pure imagination and innovation, Nintendo could still expand upon the worlds of existing IP, especially its pink pudgy ones.

The boss fights aren’t interesting, the combat becomes routinised and while the narrative engaged me, the characters aren’t well-written. If anybody...
Metroid's most revered title shines even brighter on the Nintendo Switch
Clive 'N' Wrench is inconsistent from start to finish, with some levels being good fun and others being poor chores. Combat is lackluster and the platforming can be very annoying, though Clive's limited abilities serve their purpose in the wider levels without the need for pinpoint precision. It's important to...
Season: A Letter to the Future takes you on a remarkable journey through a haunted yet hopeful land on the cusp of great change.
Like A Dragon: Ishin! is a near-perfect experience on all fronts. It has deeper combat than the style-oriented Yakuza 6 or Lost Judgment. NPCs are loaded with cultural essence through this historical lens on Japanese nationalism, and the localization masterfully handles all the old difficult dialects and Japanese Keigo (honorific...
Atomic Heart
Despite a few missed opportunities to really build on the great games it’s inspired by, Atomic Heart surprised me, with a remarkably inventive world that brings to life (the tears apart) the weirdest, wildest visions of Soviet propaganda. This is a game that’s been through over half a decade of...
