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.
An extremely satisfying conclusion to Diablo's latest demonic saga.
Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom distinguishes itself from its predecessor by layering fast-paced, real-time combat and an engaging kingdom building system atop more traditional RPG systems and quests. It's a shame it delivers so few truly memorable characters and restricts so much of its storytelling to text on screen, but by the end of Ni No Kuni 2 the broader themes certainly resonate and the 40+ hour journey has been well worth it.
Warhammer Vermintide 2's varied, hard-hitting weapons and gorgeous levels are a ton of fun, even if its loot is boring.
This series still plays a catchy tune, but it’s a song in desperate need of a key change.
Small changes go a long way in improving Attack on Titan 2's gameplay, but a poorly paced story mode and recycled content weigh it down.
Kirby is better than ever thanks to his new ability-mixing pals.
The Egyptian afterlife contains a detailed story, challenging combat, and surreal worlds.
H1Z1 checks all of the boxes needed to be a competent battle royale game, but in its main mode it lacks a distinctive sense of character. Without the realistic depth and modular weaponry of PUBG or the wacky base-building antics of Fortnite, its streamlined design rushes toward straightforward, fast-paced action instead and ends up being dull as often as it is exciting. The more interesting thing about H1Z1 is its innovative Auto Royale mode, which translates battle royale mechanics to vehicular combat in a way we haven't seen done better elsewhere.
Take a dash of Hearthstone, add in-game quests, a morality system and a much-loved Xbox franchise and you have Fable Fortune.
Chaos, comedy, and tactics intersect in a messy but fun game.
A decent combat system is undermined by a sluggish story and bland world.
A sci-fi third-person shooter that combines genres and neat ideas without any of the depth.
Battlefield 1's final DLC sticks to the formula that made the Battlefield series so popular in the first place.
A ton of tactical depth is packed into this small-looking game.
Despite losing the soul of the series, there's fun in Survive's resource-gathering base-building loop and co-op action.
A survival game that combines many elements in interesting ways without ever mastering any of them.
