Two steps forward with the gunplay and graphics, a hundred steps back with pretty much...everything else. Absolutely not for recommendation in this current state.
Lies of P could use some tiny improvements here and there, but even at this stage is stands as an impressive title with an amazing combat system, level design, and replay value.
A decent mix of hack 'n' slash and dating sim that works surprisingly well. Eternights is one of those games that give you more than you bargained for.
The king is back, baby! The latest entry in the series is here to remind us why Armored Core is one of the better mech games out there, if not the best.
Incredibly fluid gameplay, a great assortment of the most ridiculous weapons ever seen in a video game, and near-perfect optimization. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a no-brainer if you're on the fence about purchasing it.
Diablo is back, better and more addicting than ever, and with an insane level of post-campaign content. It takes some time for the game to open up, but once it does you won't be able to put it down.
System Shock remake offers a great facelift on almost every front but leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to enemy AI and sound design.
A better sequel with way more content and great attention to detail. It expands on every area of the previous game but it also comes with a good number of performance setbacks and visual glitches. It would be a near-perfect game if it wasn't for such a rushed release.

Wanted: Dead is a sneaky love letter to the PS2 & OG Xbox era of gaming. It's tough as nails, charming, and addictive as hell. What more could you ask for?
Minor gameplay tweaks and some cool visuals are introduced, but that's hardly enough to keep any part of the game above average. Not great but also not terrible.
The only impressive thing about this game is how it fails miserably on every front. Who was this for, and what was the idea behind it - all those questions will remain unanswered.
Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales is an improvement over the previous game on almost every front. Strong enough to stand on its own, with a shorter but more focused narrative.
Great campaign, coupled with intense multiplayer mayhem but all of that is dragged down by an infuriating number of freezes, crashes, and stutters - both in single-player and multiplayer.
While Sackboy A Big Adventure tends to follow a strict platforming formula, it also shows unparalleled creativity in visuals and level design, even going beyond by incorporating the soundtrack as part of the gameplay in some levels.
Can you make a Batman-dependent game without Batman? Gotham Knights proves to us that all things are possible.
Tight gunplay coupled with a captivating story. It doesn't bring anything new to the table or redefine a genre, but with such a level of quality and engagement behind it, it doesn't need to.
Despite a few shortcomings, it is a decent indie soulslike with an unconventional story and surprisingly competent combat.
A masterclass in world-building and tension. A horror game that relies more on the proper atmosphere rather than cheap jump scares
Despite being a bit rough around the edges, it is a daring and welcoming venture into the puzzle genre of the LEGO universe.
