My Time at Sandrock

My Time at Sandrock

My Time at Sandrock once again places you as head of your own shop. It is up to you and Mi-an, to satisfy the needs of the town and get to the bottom of the numerous issues plaguing this sand-locked settlement such as bandits, and a group of monstrous creatures that have Sandrock in their sights. 

Fellowship

Fellowship

Fellowship is another game to play into the Vampire Survivors style. As the hordes of enemies surround you, you’ll summon companions to join you in battle. Level them up, equip them with new gear, and attempt to survive as you travel from region to region defeating bosses and gaining power.

Spider-Man 2

Spider-Man 2

Spider-Man 2 is certainly not a perfect experience with a few issues that have remained from the previous games, but it is still a wildly impressive entry that illustrates Insomniac's desire to create one of the most genre-defining experiences out there.

Forza Motorsport (2023)

Forza Motorsport (2023)

Ultimately, Forza Motorsport is a great game. Nearly every car feels unique to drive, giving you a greater sense of connection with the road than ever before; the audio presentation is second to none, helping controller players such as myself have a real feel for what the car is doing and how the tires are hitting the track.

Warhammer 40K: Dark Tide

Warhammer 40K: Dark Tide

The Left 4 Dead formula was a solid success for the Warhammer property with Vermintide and its sequel making for extremely enjoyable outings. So with taking that formula to the deepest reaches of space for Warhammer 40K: Dark Tide, it largely succeeds in the moment-to-moment gameplay but struggles with its story and costume unlocks.

Kona II: Brume

Kona II: Brume

Kona II is the sophomore release from Parabole, a French-Canadian studio founded in 2012. The title sees the return of detective Carl Faubert, who attempts to escape a rural mining village in Northern Quebec after finding the body of his client William Hamilton, murdered by a local doctor.

Baldur's Gate III

Baldur's Gate III

Baldur’s Gate 3 is a remarkable achievement for Larian Studios. While their work on Divinity Original Sin set the groundwork for what Baldur’s Gate 3 would be, the final product is truly a work of art. While the PS5 version has a few hiccups to iron out, both it and the PC version are a stunning display of character, combat, and exploration, all determined by a lucky roll of the die.

Gazzlers

Gazzlers

Gazzlers is an on-rails VR shooting gallery that takes the high-speed chase of Mad Max Fury Road with the quirky charm of the Rabbids, albeit with a bit more savagery. This roguelike shooter has you upgrading weapons, your health, and how much damage you do to this army of Gazzlers all attempting to hunt you down.

Assassin's Creed: Mirage

Assassin's Creed: Mirage

Developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux, a team normally behind the scenes aiding in development of other Ubisoft Originals, Assassin’s Creed: Mirage would be the studio’s first full game, not to mention a long-awaited return to the true assassin nature of the series. While its smaller package can be a bit oversimplified, it is nonetheless an extremely enjoyable adventure.

Starfield

Starfield

While Starfield is a remarkable achievement in creating a game built around the vastness of space, and humanity's reach amongst the stars, typical Bethesda game design and numerous glitches result in an experience that often has it struggling to break orbit.

Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1 is the follow-up to Mortal Kombat 11 Aftermath, a DLC that saw Liu Kang rebooting the kurrent timeline to bring peace across the realms. However, a mysterious evil is set to disrupt that peace through various means. MK1 is a solid fighter that excels at what it does but does have limited modes to keep you occupied.

The Crew: Motorfest

The Crew: Motorfest

The Crew Motorfest takes the festival approach from Forza Horizon and brings a solid racing entry to the island of O’ahu, Hawaii. With a unique series of playlists that roam from Japanese street racing to the history of the Porsche 911, Motorfest is a reinvention of The Crew and its best entry yet.

Mythforce

Mythforce

Mythforce is a dungeon roguelike for up to four players that feels ripped out the best of the 80s series of Saturday Morning Cartoons. It’s He-Man meets Battleborn in a way that truly kicks ass. However, it has a fare share of issues that can certainly hold it back.
