Dragon Quest Builders is as much RPG as it is a creation simulator, you’ll encounter many an enemy and creature from Dragon Quest lore in your quest to rebuild your town into Fort Knox.
Earthfall feels like a science-fiction skin for Left 4 Dead. This isn't inherently a bad thing, after all, people are desperate for a new Left 4 Dead game. Although it does make it easy to compare and see where Earthfall falls short.
Similar to any Formula 1 car, the game is deep and fun to play despite occasional mechanical issues.
Feudal Alloy really doesn't do anything impressive or attracting besides a unique art style that unfortunately isn't explored enough.
Pikuniku happily fills in the gap between bigger and longer games, brightens your day, and leaves a lasting good feeling
Once you wrap your head around everything, Astroneer’s crafting and resources mechanics are remarkably soothing to interact with.
Jump Force is the perfect ode to Shonen Jump and its contribution to popular culture. What it lacks in polish it makes up for in heart and soul. Truly a game for the fans!
Far Cry New Dawn steers the franchise towards a deeper and more robust future. If Far Cry 6 incorporates some of the new elements, it will be a game to keep your eye on.
The Stillness of the Wind offers up a captivating story combined with serene gameplay. If you're looking for an emotionally engaging gaming experience, this game should definitely be added to your list.
Trials Rising has some missteps when it comes to its progression and unlocking of content, but still has an addictive, enjoyable gameplay loop that will keep you coming back time and time again.
Ape Out by Greg Cuzzillo is a fun fresh game that's too addictive for its own good. You'd be bananas not to give it a shot.
What frustrates me the most about Anthem is that the things that work in the game's favour are really well implemented. It feels like a complete waste to have these awesome traversal and combat mechanics utilised in such an uninspired game
The Occupation is so many things I have wanted to see in a game, but I can't give it the love and adoration I want to.
Devil May Cry 5 certainly provides moments of fun and if you can look past some aspects that belong in the last generation of gaming then you will have a competent action romp with Dante and friends. However I feel like this entry is a step backwards after DMC dared to shake up the formula a little more.
It's Persona, but not quite as good. In the end, I cant help but compare the two games. Its not going to replace Persona in your heart, but its a good sweetheart of a distraction in the meantime.
Is a perfectly playable fighting game featuring plenty of colourful characters and interactive backgrounds. Perhaps let down by its simplicity and lack of balance between fighters.
For a game that's 10 years old, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn is still a fun experience, though it's sad that you can't share it with friends.
With a deep, interesting city full of content to explore and an endgame that seems very fleshed out, The Division 2 is incredible value, and will likely go down as one of the most successful sequels of all time.
Baba Is You is genuinely impressive. Changing the rule set of the game as you play is a powerful and compelling tool.
Despite having a rich universe of content to draw from, it seems as though it's doomed to be just another average anime-inspired video game.
