Thanks to crowd funding and a developer with a love for classic gaming, the RPG of the year just arrived.
Between this and Prey, its clear that Arkane is really refining the multiple-route, stealth or combat style to its best form.
While there aren't many factions and some of the Total War complexity can be vexing, as a whole, this is among the best versions of Warhammer to hit the PC yet.
While this iteration doesn't radically change the franchise, Forza Motorsport 7 does offer the best visuals and most options yet.
The base gameplay is more than solid, but the overall experience feels lessened by a combination of unnecessary expansion and lots of repetition.
Bringing with it some of the best parts of ResidentEvil and Silent Hill, The Evil Within 2 does a lot of things right.
From gunplay to story, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus does a lot of things right. And it's the perfect game at the perfect time.
Call Of Duty finally returns to Earth (and the series roots) with a satisfying tale of brotherhood and courage while invading Nazi Europe.
While the controls are still iffy, this stealth survival game has seen the world and puzzles polished to a very satisfying shine!
Bringing some levity to the aggravation of constantly dying in a Souls-like, A Walk In The Park offers an amusement park filled with bloody delights!
It's Advance Wars for a new generation as Japanese anime characters collide with adorable 3D units for turn-based combat.
Slick combat, plenty of modes, and the best visual representation of the franchise in a video game yet make Dragon Ball FighterZ a game you definitely want to play!
3v3 brawler fans might get some use out of it, and of course series fanatics will want to try it, but otherwise, this is very much a "rent before you buy" scenario.
From a horribly botched launch to clunky UI and a hunger/thirst meter that actively tries to kill you, there's so much this game does wrong that it's hard to focus on what Metal Gear Survive does right.
There's a fantastic graphical style and story here, but the overly short play time and lack of game mechanics may make it easy to skip.
This 8-bit gaming triumph proves you don't need overly complicated mechanics or 3D graphics to provide a stellar strategy experience.
Did you absolutely love playing Left 4 Dead online with your friends but wanted to try out a grim fantasy version instead? This is absolutely the game you want to play!
It's dumb, goofy, wonderful fun, with a smooth balance between action, comedy, and horror. Far Cry 5 was one of our most anticipated shooters of 2018, and other than a few bugs, it lives up to my expectations and even exceeds them in some areas.
Harebrained Schemes finally gives fans a faithful recreation of the tabletop mech combat series!
Clear your calendars, folks, because the RPG of the year has arrived.
