Brawlout just doesn't do any particular thing well enough to make it stand out, and the performance issues can hit levels of infuriating at times. I'm looking at you, long load times.

Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story’s great conceptual foundation alone did not translate to a strong enough incentive to keep me playing. For me, this is a pass, but only barely, since I’m comparing it with the newer, better games coming out.

The expansion isn’t the best piece of content but the overall changes that came with the launch of The Division 2: Warlords of New York expansion makes it a great addition to keep avid players geared up and ready for the coming content planned for the game in 2020.

Red Kite Studios has done a splendid job mapping out the controls for the PS4 version of Two Point Hospital. Coming from a PC’s mouse and keyboard to the PS4 Controller, I expected to feel my control over the situation limited, but those fears were groundless as the clever control scheme didn’t leave me feeling encumbered or hampered.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order may not be the droid that we're looking for, it's still a fun romp through the cosmos, providing a decent story with some strong moments that will tickle the most sensitive midichlorians inside you.

Death Stranding is creative director Hideo Kojima’s flawed but fascinating subversion of big budget expectations. It represents not simply an escape from the increasingly suffocating influence of his former masters at Konami, but an escape from the cardboard box of Metal Gear’s narrative and gameplay conventions.

With Luigi’s Mansion 3, the question I didn’t expect to be asking myself was, does the relatively thin gameplay premise of sucking up ghosts hold any serious appeal for anyone above the age of, say, twelve, who values their time? Let's shine a light on this mystery.

Bungie is now self-publishing and has released Shadowkeep, Destiny 2’s second expansion. It’s not the best expansion from the studio, but right now is the ideal time to get the best value out of this online looter shooter, as it’s currently in its most appealing form to date.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare brought the complete package - The campaign is an engaging on-the-rails spectacle, while the multiplayer is solid and more accessible to all, thanks to Cross-play and a few changes to the mechanics.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is an open-world tactical shooter that feels great when the bullets start flying, but slowly loses its identity the moment you're caught in this endless gameplay circuit of looting gear to “improve” your character. 

Imagine a combat-driven game with no progression or loot. All you have is your sword, your wits, and a mysterious device that conveniently creates copies of you if and when you die. This is the world of Driven Out, a 2D side-scrolling indie action game that falls under the category of "git gud".

Just like Che’s moral qualms in MyCareer (hah!), you’ll find that NBA2K0 is worth your money if you focus on the game itself and not on the superficial things you can buy with your VC in MyCareer or in MyTeam. Because even as its aging graphics engine speaks to a need for a shake-up, NBA 2K20 is still undeniably the best you can get when it comes to basketball sims.
