Stronghold Warlords has a refreshing East Asian setting and satisfying castle building, but it looks and plays like an RTS that was asleep for most of the last decade or two.

Even in early access, Valheim is already a paragon of the survival crafting genre.

This RPG has decent stealth going for it, but its weak story forces you into painfully mediocre combat too often to be worthwhile, wasting the potential of the World of Darkness universe.

A third-person horror game that's elevated by some of the sharpest writing and acting in the genre.

It's dauntingly complex, but offers almost endlessly enjoyable depth for optimizers and survival fans if you take the time to learn its systems.

A fun and detailed aerial combat game (but don't come to it looking for a sim).

Shadowlands offers some great new characters and stories, alongside the most compelling max level experience WoW has had in many years.

An unforgettable follow-up to a horror classic.
