XDefiant also doesn't include a battle royale mode and is focused instead on fast-paced action

Helldivers 2 is proving to be some excellent co-op fun. Be sure to get the most out of the game by spending some time in the settings to configure the look and behavior of this bug-bashing experience.

A damn good third-person shooter tarnished by bland missions and live-service shenanigans

Since its release late last year, Epic has updated Lego Fortnite a few times to fix things and tweak settings. And the company is promising bigger updates in the future, which will likely be free, too. So one of the best Lego games ever made is going to only get bigger and better as time goes on. And all you have to do to play it is download Fortnite. 2024 is a weird year.

Ubisoft’s next entry in the popular series is smaller, better, and a return to the past.

I didn’t think we needed a Resident Evil 4 remake. I guessed that Resident Evil 4’s remake would look nice and play well, just as the other recent remakes. But what I didn’t expect was a game that not only recreates the original but also builds on it in smart and interesting ways to create something different and better than the classic.

Cosmic Shake looks great and plays well, but it feels smaller and less stable than its predecessor

There are some neat ideas in Choo-Choo Charles but it isn’t very scary and feels too short

Need for Speed Unbound is unlikely to pull the franchise out from underneath the shadows of bigger, more popular racing games in 2022. But I do think it has a chance of helping the series stand out more. And regardless of if Unbound becomes a big hit or not, it’s a damn fine game with some great ideas that make every race more exciting and every upgrade feel more valuable. And it looks rad the whole time, too.

There’s no loot, MMO-lite features or even battle passes to upgrade. Just vampires to kill!
