A Nostalgic Garden Stroll on the Game Informer website.

Bungie’s excellent audio design and gunplay, paired with increasingly complicated level design borrowing from over a decade of expertise designing Destiny raids coalesce into something special. Marathon is proof Bungie is still at the top of its game.

Buoyed by its charming and humorous premise, Soccer Story provides a satisfying adventure and a different type of soccer game, but one that doesn’t quite score a hat-trick.

Mediocre gameplay and an annoying sense of humor make for an unsatisfying space romp.

Need for Speed Unbound feels like a foundational entry for where the series could go from here. Competing across the title’s many events is a blast, and I love the juxtaposed visual aesthetics. Though some elements left me wanting, Unbound is as much fun as I’ve had with a Need for Speed title in years.

For the ongoing Final Fantasy VII re-examination, which Square Enix has officially dubbed the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, Crisis Core feels like required reading. Its place in the larger story is important and will likely grow in significance moving forward, but making your way through those story moments sometimes feels like a school assignment. Reunion is a well-executed remake of the 2007 game that delivers fun combat alongside a stilted story with an interesting and narratively important final act. If you plan on starting or continuing the Final Fantasy VII Remake journey, make sure to do your homework.

With Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, Digital Eclipse has set a new bar for future historical compilations in video games.

Firaxis embraces bombastic action and superpowers while leveraging its years of strategic expertise in this deep and lengthy strategy/RPG.

The Callisto Protocol is Dead Space in many ways, but it unfortunately struggles to nail even the basics.

Harvestella's mash-up of dungeon-crawling action and farming simulation can be enjoyable, but the styles clash more often than not, resulting in a sluggish, frustrating grind.

Every part of Vampire Survivors is built to make it impossible to resist that next run.

Pentiment is a wonderfully unique storytelling experience overflowing with respect for the historical era it strives to recreate.

When Somerville hits its highs and fires on all cylinders, it’s a moving spectacle, but unfortunately, technical hiccups hold it back from being truly incredible.

A Little to the Left may have left me scratching my head in confusion at times, but more often, it left me pleased and content with the neatly arranged spaces I created.

Though Sonic Frontiers can be rough around the edges, it's the best 3D Sonic game we've gotten in years.

Ragnarök may lack the unique impact of the prior game, but everything that worked so well the first time comes forward, along with a story that earns the proper definition of the term epic.

What The Entropy Centre does well is worth pushing through its too-long narrative to ensure you see every trick up its sleeve.
