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

A defiant wuxia epic characterized by rapid, brutal combat

Capcom has crafted another great, intense fighting game; shame about how it looks

Still making a comeback, but not as far behind

Stealth and mayhem return in Arkane’s lovely world of grime

A lot of different things can happen in Divinity: Original Sin 2; it's an RPG that is overwhelmingly about planning ahead yet still being completely taken by surprise.

Hiveswap: Act One is brief, but I already have a lot of hope for the world and cast introduced here. (And the music. Oh god, yes, the music.) There's a lot to see, and anyone looking for a light-hearted adventure will have a great time. Despite its minor bugs and short length, both Homestuck devotees and those who never experienced the webcomic will find a fantastic, humorous introduction to this new pocket of an already-massive universe.


Two additional racing leagues pile on the variety, and lengthen a lean career

The developers of DmC take on human psychology in this enlightening action game

The prequel series drops the supernatural stuff, but not the heart

Knack 2 is an entertaining platform game like those of yesteryear. It's been created with due care and attention. Sure, it's old fashioned, and its story is appalling. But it's a reminder that the character-led platform combat game is still alive and well. Despite its good looks, it's more a work of engineering than it is a work of art. But, as my kid said to me after we'd mashed our way through a co-op level, it's kinda fun.

It’s Destiny, with much less bullshit

A procedurally generated action game that begs to be played over and over and over

A touching, painterly story of love and loss

A martial arts-focused take on the Dark Souls formula that more than hits its mark

Mario + Rabbids manages to walk a narrow road, offering up a legitimately challenging squad tactics experience without alienating the family friendly Mario audience. While it doesn't quite have the full layer of spit and polish of an in-house title, Ubisoft comes damn close to capturing that Nintendo magic.
