Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Xbox One. Also available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. “Little Nightmares 2 is every bit as black, bleak, and eerily beautiful as the original. It’s also just as brief, and although the reintroduction of the Six character as an AI-controlled co-op partner ultimately serves the story well, she’s

Reviewed by Cam Shea on Nintendo Switch. “Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury packs a tonne of engaging gameplay, but neither component comes together as elegantly as it might have done. This is a solid option if you’re craving more Super Mario for your Switch, but it’s not the moustachioed must-play I was hoping

Persona 5 Strikers reviewed by Tom Marks on PlayStation 5, also available on PlayStation 4, PC, and Nintendo Switch. This action spin-off from Dynasty Warriors developer Omega Force replaces Persona 5’s turn-based battles with a simple but consistently engaging real-time combat system, and its summer vacation story (while slimmed down) is a sequel nearly worthy

Blue Fire provides and impeccable 3D platformer experience with the just right balance of abilities to master and challenges to test you, even when its pacing falters from its Zelda-like dungeons to rely on backtracking.

Reviewed by Tristan Ogilvie on Xbox Series X. Also available on Xbox Series S and PC. “The Medium uses a unique reality-shifting ability to bring a new dimension to some tried-and-tested genre puzzle-solving mechanics. It presents an intriguing mystery to unravel and adds a tangible sense of urgency to your investigations by placing a truly

Olija is an exceptionally striking 2D retro themed platformer with great combat and a unique visual style, but it’s let down by an all too short adventure and little reason to return to its creepy, yet fantastical world. Olija, reviewed by Mitchell Saltzman on PC. Also available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4,

Cyber Shadow is a 2D action platformer that starts out as a blast from the past reminiscent of Ninja Gaiden, but as it adds more complexity and depth, it becomes something much greater.

Factorio reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC. Factorio is great PC game that slipped through our review net by being in early access from 2016 (before we reviewed early access games) until 2020. Now, since we had a little time on our hands over the holidays, we sent our reviewer back in to rectify that

Reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. Also available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, Stadia, and Nintendo Switch. “Rich, rewarding, and highly replayable, Hitman 3 is a superb instalment of IO’s idiosyncratic but much-loved stealth series. The fundamentals haven’t changed since 2016 but its collection of outstanding maps makes for

Second Extinction reviewed by David Jagneaux is currently available in Early Access on PC. It may have an Early Access label on it, but Second Extinction’s 3vDinos co-op action is already plenty of fun and full of intense moments.

Ghostrunner’s lightning quick pace, skill heavy gameplay, excellent platforming, and open ended combat structure makes for a first person action experience that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Reviewed on PC by Ryan McCaffrey. Doom Eternal’s first story DLC, The Ancient Gods Part 1, does what Doom expansions always used to: provides more Doom, but makes it harder. And in Doom’s case, that’s a good kind of pain. Doom Eternal and The Ancient Gods Part 1 are also available on Xbox One and
