A platformer with relentless charm, and groove in its heart.

Final Fantasy XV takes some risks that don't always pay off, but the strong quartet of heroes give it tons of heart.

A lack of tangible stakes, and some muddled RPG systems dull the blades of Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization.

Despite some missing features, WWE 2K17 serves up great in-ring action, and loads of options to play with.

With or without the PlayStation VR, Rez Infinite is a trippy, imaginative rail-shooter with a visual style all its own.

ReCore has the charming old soul of an action platformer, but in a modern sandbox frame that's just a bit too big.

I Am Setsuna has some combat balance issues, but that doesn't keep it from delivering a highly emotional tale.

The soul of the Blue Bomber is nowhere to be found here.

Blistering action and gorgeous effects make Alienation the best nation.

Enter the Gungeon's roguelike elements and vast array of crazy weapons keep it entertaining for the long haul.

The Division's strong firefights get lost in open-world filler.

It's hard to criticize something that seems like it was tailor-made for a wannabe competitive player like me, but I just can't ignore how little Street Fighter 5 does for the average fighting game player. It sports a wonderful, diverse cast of characters, places a clear emphasis on strong fundamental play, it gives competitive players a great online experience, and it does it all while looking gorgeous. Strictly in terms of mechanics and competitive features, Street Fighter 5 is just about peerless, but it has quite a ways to go before it stacks up against other fighting games - including its own predecessor - in terms of overall content.

Prettier than before, but tedious trailing and stealth mission design kill the mood.
