Crusader Kings III: Royal Court DLC reviewed on PC by Leana Hafer. Whether I’m creating new melting pot cultures, decorating my throne room, or throwing lavish parties to make sure everyone remembers how important I am, Royal Court goes beyond tacking on some new mechanics to the already excellent Crusader Kings 3. It weaves iron

Far Cry 6 Joseph: Collapse DLC reviewed by Travis Northup on PC. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Stadia. Far Cry 6 Joseph: Collapse takes a lot of the things I love about Far Cry and wraps them around a weak roguelite formula, a less interesting open-world, and crucially, one of the weaker villains from

Sifu is utterly uncompromising in its design, and that’s a sword that cuts both ways. It’s brutal learning curve and unique structure that demands you beat it in just one lifetime both loom as great barriers to overcome, but on the other side them is one of the best modern action games around.

Reviewed by Cam Shea on PC. Also available on PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. “Radlandia may seem like an offbeat location for a skating game, but in reality it’s a wonderfully eclectic reflection of what OlliOlli World itself is trying to be. In this vibrant place, skating is an obsession and an escape, whether you’re

Dying Light Stay Human reviewed on Xbox Series X by Travis Northup. Also available on Xbox One, PlayStation, and PC. Another in a long series of big, ambitious games whose potential greatness is visible just beneath a grimey layer of bugs, Dying Light 2 Stay Human could very likely become the stellar zombie survival adventure

Reviewed by Rebekah Valentine on Nintendo Switch. “Pokemon Legends: Arceus is an ambitious revamp that successfully revolutionizes the defining Pokemon experiences of catching and battling, but is unfortunately set in a drab, empty, and at times tedious world.”

The Anacrusis Early Access reviewed by Luke Winkie on PC. Narration by Mark Medina. Also available on Xbox. The Anacrusis lets you explore a plush spaceship heavily indebted to paperback sci-fi cliches. It’s one of the better settings deployed in a co-op shooter, but the actual co-op shooting against waves of aliens suffers from a

Rainbow 6 Extraction reviewed by Luke Winkie on PC. Also available on Xbox and PlayStation. Narration by Max Scoville. Rainbow Six Extraction is one of the boldest games in recent Ubisoft history. Not only does it exchange the series’ staid military realism for a wonderfully grotesque universe of oozing, parasitic incursion, it also introduces a

Windjammers 2 reviewed by Travis Northup on Nintendo Switch. Also available on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and Stadia. Windjammers 2 is a worthy sequel to a retro classic that manages to improve upon the highly competitive arena with new characters, levels, and abilities that make this fighting game version of Pong incredibly addictive. It lacks some

PUBG: Battlegrounds Free-to-Play reviewed by Gabriel Moss on PC and PlayStation 5. Also available on Xbox and PlayStation 4. #IGN #Gaming #PUBGBattlegrounds

Expeditions: Rome reviewed by Leana Hafer on PC. Between the tough but engaging tactical battles, a robust campaign system, uncommonly strong plot and characters, and the chance to live through so much of one of the most fascinating periods in all of history, Expeditions: Rome is one of the better tactical RPGs of the last

Drinkbox’s latest is a charming, though uneven action RPG with a clever core mechanic that allows you to transform into 15 different forms in order to save the world. Nobody Saves the World reviewed by Mitchell Saltzman on PC. Also available on Xbox. #IGN #Gaming #NobodySavesTheWorld

IGN’s review of the Pagan Min DLC, Control, for Far Cry 6. Reviewed by Jon Ryan on PC, also available on PS5,PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. #IGN #Gaming #FarCry6

GTFO reviewed on PC by Luke Winkie. Narrated by Ryan McCaffrey. GTFO is an uncompromising take on the Left 4 Dead co-op shooter formula. This is a game best played with three friends who you know for a fact are capable of coordinating together to defeat a horde of horrific, fleshy monstrosities while navigating through

Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker reviewed on PC by Leif Johnson. Also available on PlayStation. Endwalker delivers a powerful, emotional story with some bold choices, but it’s important to understand that you’ll get the most out of it if you’ve been with these characters from the beginning. And with roughly 50 hours of story piled on

Praey for the Gods reviewed by Travis Northup on PlayStation 5. Also available on PC and Xbox. Praey for the Gods falls far short of the classic monster-climbing game it so clearly draws inspiration from. The sluggish climbing and combat controls make even the standout boss fights so consistently frustrating that it’s hard to enjoy

The Gunk reviewed by Tom Marks on PC, also available on Xbox. As the first 3D game from Image & Form Games (best known for games like SteamWorld Dig or SteamWorld Quest series), The Gunk is a simple little platforming adventure full of malicious messes that are plenty of fun to clean up. #IGN #Gaming

Century: Age of Ashes reviewed by Travis Northup on PC. Century: Age of Ashes is a really enjoyable PvP aerial combat game with some excellent game modes, unique character classes, and lots of beautiful, fierce dragons to collect and ride into battle. It could benefit from hoarding more content since its handful of maps can
