The open-world Dark Souls successor is staggering in breadth and challenge

A defiant wuxia epic characterized by rapid, brutal combat

Like an RPG that only has side quests

A perk tree full of non sequiturs is well worth exploring in Drinkbox’s delightful dungeon-crawler

Rise performs better on PC, but I prefer playing on the go

Exploring a weird and wonderful world

The Monk and Summoner reworks are particular high points


A thin plot can’t ruin the great gameplay

Grid-based combat with lots of brawling



Adapting these intricate systems for the screen is no small feat

A Zelda-like world with Metroidvania trappings in which time is always running out

An action-adventure romp through League of Legends lore


Finding your own rhythm is part of the fun
