Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League was set to be dead on arrival. A live-service romp in the Arkhamverse that once stood tall. This live-service co-op shooter is boring, bland, and is more focused on racing to the endgame than letting its fun character moments shine.

Skull and Bones shows its development troubles across every system both big and small. Its combat and customization are solid, but the world, people, and core fundamentals around are lacking, flat, and uninspired. Skull and Bones’s biggest sin is that you never once feel like a pirate and instead a glorified delivery driver on the open seas.

While its use of the license is what it is, the gameplay itself is solid for a little distraction here and there. I played huge chunks of this game portably via a few lunch breaks and found a decent amount of enjoyment from it.

Overall, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden is marvelous, a wonderfully crafted love story by a team that has elevated their game to new heights. Its central cast is remarkable with lives that felt truly lived, their pasts that really define them as people.

Alisa: Developer’s Cut takes aim at emulating the origins of survival horror. From its fixed camera angles, tank controls, and visuals, it’s a faithful love-letter to the genre, warts and all.

Dreamcutter is an overly simple action platformer that certainly has its issues, but a surprisingly well-written story and some of its art result in a very adult and largely enjoyable experience.
