Zelda's first turn as the star of the show sees her given some truly exciting and thought-provoking gameplay systems that bring glorious Breath of the Wild vibes to a 2D Zelda game - but missed opportunities also offer up small frustrations.

Ace Attorney Investigations Collection Review
The Ace Attorney Investigations Collection revives a pair of underappreciated Ace Attorney spin-offs on modern platforms, and shows that the view from the prosecutorial side of the justice system is surprisingly familiar, if no less enjoyable for it.

This new installment in the gunpla action RPG series is like watching an old friend rebound from tough times; it may not be as great as its mainline predecessors in some regards, but it is a solid course correction from the last few dire entries.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Review
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is an uneven yet engaging game that's brimming with things to discover and a uniquely compelling narrative that is at times both hopeful and poignant.

Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn Review
Although Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn has satisfying combat, this entry-level souls-like RPG is held back by some bland questing and a forgettable narrative.

Destiny 2: The Final Shape Review
Bungie's conclusion to Destiny's first 10 years more than sticks the landing.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Review
Shadow of the Erdree is an excellent expansion to Elden Ring. Poison swamps, giant swords, and fingercreepers return, better than ever.
