Best-in-class combat and a triumphant move to an open-world structure.

Authentic Middle Ages problem solving that needs a bit longer in the early access oven.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is another Viking-worthy feast for the senses that meets the high bar set by its predecessor, even if it never really manages to clear it.

The skirmish mode may be barebones, but the co-op War Games mode gives an extra boost to multiplayer.

This campaign brings epic space battles in for intense, close-quarters combat.

Six years of updates have mutated this wasteland into something much more entertaining.

A fun little romp for anyone looking for a relaxed adventure.

A beautiful, multi-layered puzzle box that’s an utter delight to slowly crack open.

Eight years of impressive updates have grown Stardew Valley into a modern classic.

Boring in multiplayer and frustrating alone, Endless Ocean Luminous is a tedious, aggravating slog that feels endless in all the wrong ways.

This soulslike throws out dark themes and gratuitous violence in favor of talking cartoon crabs.

Great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but lackluster elsewhere.

A by-the-numbers action game with a story that only occasionally lives up to the original work.

A gorgeous medieval city-builder that feels very early in its Early Access development.

Like a cheap slice of pizza, this arcade port is tasty in the moment but will leave you wanting.

A solid Metroidvania elevated by a truly moving story.

It may take place at the bottom of the ocean on a distant alien planet, but Harold Halibut’s story is an entirely human one, both in terms of its carefully handmade environments and its strong emphasis on empathy towards its eccentric cast of characters. While I wish that there was a little more interactivity to be found throughout its subaquatic setting, and Harold’s shuffling run could have been boosted to a sprint to reduce the time spent repeatedly schlepping from one end of its levels to the other, I nonetheless remained captivated by his whimsical quest to unite his community and explore the spectacular surroundings of his sunken home. Consistently funny and full of surprises, Harold Halibut is a wholesome, handcrafted adventure with plenty of heart.
