Elden Ring is a massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path.

A reinvigorating sequel for the series that leaves no doubt about its place in the RPG pantheon.

A stylish if superficial veneer on a familiar and repetitive game design format.

Superhypercube is simple, but thankfully the comprehensible premise doesn't confuse simplicity with shallowness. As your skill improves and the challenge increases, rotating and dropping the ever-changing three-dimensional shapes gets ever more engaging. When I eventually, inevitably crashed, I was always hammering restart the moment the prompt appeared. That’s the mark of an amazing puzzle game.

Sadly, even loading an MP3 of ‘90s favorite “Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows didn’t make any of these four music mini-games and passive experiences any less boring or more bearable. If my friends came over to check out my new $400 VR headset, Harmonix Music VR is the last thing I’d want to show them.

Battlezone looks good and controls well, but offline there’s nothing to think about besides shoot, shoot, shoot, which in this case just doesn’t provide enough of a good time to be enjoyable for long.

More of a multiplayer shooter than an MMO, Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade suffers from balance and technical issues.

Did I feel like Batman when I put on the mask? Well, sort of.

Rise of Iron maintains Destiny’s fun combat and includes a great raid, but it also doesn’t fix any of Destiny’s repetition problems.

System Rift suggests some cool new directions for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, but it struggles to tell a complete story of its own.

An interactive story that delivers an emotionally compelling drama without a single line of dialogue.

An absorbing story mode compensates for an occasional lack of match sharpness.

Our final review sees a great homage to Allen Iverson

The second installment of Telltale's Batman takes all of the solid foundations established by Episode 1, trims most of the fat, and continues to build an engaging Dark Knight story in a unique and uncharted version of the D.C. legend’s universe. Old Bat-fans will get much more out of the unexpected twists and turns than a newcomer, but the relationships Bruce Wayne forms and develops with the people around him appeal equally.

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

This precision-focused platformer really brings the pain.

The Horizon festival heads down under but stays well on top of the competition.
