Vampire Survivors
Vampire Survivors is easily the most addicting game I have played in a long time. The game is an inversion of a bullet hell shooter. Instead of dodging bullets and attacking, you are the one creating the bullet hell. If you are on a controller you need only use the left stick to move. The…

Sifu
Do you like the movie Oldboy? Would you be interested in a game that evokes the best action set pieces in that movie without the incest? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this is the game for you. In Sifu you are a martial artist on a revenge mission. The combat in…

Pikmin 4
I grew up playing the Pikmin games and I have many childhood memories of playing the games and being blown away at the creativity of it all. Pikmin 4 is a solid entry in the franchise that may be a bit divisive for some fans. This is the most accessible Pikimin and the least challenging…

Dead Island 2
With the rocky history of development for this game I was skeptical that this would be a good game. Thankfully, it indeed is a good game. The game has more in common with the Dying Light franchise than with the first entry in the series. The game is also set in L.A. which I don’t…

The Callisto Protocol
The Callisto Protocol starts off strong with incredible visuals and a combat system that feels visceral and fun. However, that combat only remains fun for a few hours, after that it completely falls apart and brings the entire experience down. This game is as if the Dead Space franchise didn’t have a sequel that iterated…

Elden Ring
What can I say that hasn’t already been said about Elden Ring? Not much probably however, this is the first game in the souls series that has grabbed me. I have always been scared away from the narrative surrounding the souls games. Everything I saw about it was that these were crushingly difficult games. I…

Super Mario Party Jamboree
Jamboree is easily the best main entry in the series in a decade. This entry is packed with content, and if you love the core gameplay of Mario Party, this is a game you will keep coming back to. The minigames here are great with only a few duds here and there. The boards here…

Dragons Dogma 2
Having not played the original, Dragons Dogma 2 is a great action RPG that reminds me of Kingdoms of Amalur. The combat is awesome, with a flexible class system that you can change at any time. During my playthrough, I was constantly swapping classes which felt liberating compared to most other RPGs where you are…

Immortals: Fenyx Rising
Immortals is a rare example of a modern Ubisoft game that I feel like I can fully recommend. It has a fun, colorful open world filled with puzzles and dungeons. It mostly avoids the Ubisoft bloat that plagues most of their games. You can beat the main story in about 20 hours if you mainline…

Tekken 8
Tekken 8 is a solid entry in the series that easily has the most content of any game in the series so far. Not all modes are created equal but that is okay, as the core gameplay never stops being fun. Tekken 8 is a game that is easy to play yet hard to master,…
