Team Ico’s much-anticipated third game is filled with the highest highs, and the lowest lows.

Ezio’s trilogy helped build Assassin’s Creed into the giant franchise it is today thanks to its fantastic storytelling, amazing characters, and gorgeous world building. And while all of that is still here in The Ezio Collection, the lack of meaningful improvements and any sort of substantial bonus content make it a tough compilation to recommend.

Mafia 3's strong characters and confident storytelling kept me engaged, even if the gameplay rarely delivered anything but bog-standard and repetitive open-world action. That's a bummer, because Lincoln is an incredible protagonist and New Bordeaux is a fantastic setting thematically, and it would've been great to see them put to better use.

The sequel provides a fun, chaotic trip with a bit too much clutter.

While it never reaches the originality and heights of its inspirations, The Turing Test delivers an interesting world with one heck of a twist.

Insomniac's beautiful Metroidvania is robbed of much of its potential magic.

This is the most gaming fun I’ve had with either series in years.

While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, The Park manages to deliver a ton of great scares.

Ratchet and Clank is a beautiful culmination of everything Insomniac has done with the series over the past 14 years.
