    Ever since the Assassin’s Creed series began exploring different times and spaces, there has been a persistent desire for an open-world stealth action game set in feudal Japan. That itch has been effectively scratched with Ghost of Tsushima. Sucker Punch’s latest offering is a stunning adventure through one of history’s most beautiful landscapes, featuring an…

    For a series known for its relentless action, it’s surprising how much time you spend with your weapons holstered in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s single-player campaign—more than in any other game in the franchise’s 17-year history. Whether you’re walking around your safehouse getting to know your covert ops crew or sneaking through…

    War is upon us, and Ewa cries out in pain. Short of somehow growing a Na’vi neural braid and jamming it directly into the base of James Cameron’s skull, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is pretty much your best option for taking a virtual tour of the stunning alien moon of Pandora. This open-world shooter offers…

    The quality of an open-world RPG is often not determined solely by the strength of its main story, but rather by the side missions that surround it. With Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red has crafted an entire game built on this philosophy. Aside from its surprisingly brief yet utterly compelling central questline, most of what…

  • Dead Space Remake Review

    Despite the numerous necromorphs, the tortured bodies sprouting from walls, and the terrifyingly towering space sphincter, my biggest fear going into the Dead Space remake was that it wouldn’t live up to my fond memories of the original 2008 game. After spending over 12 hours navigating the revitalized USG Ishimura, I’m relieved to say that…

  • Mad Max Review

    At its core, Mad Max is a game about the death of hope. It explores the struggle to find something to cling to in a bleak world filled with murder and regret, only to watch that hope turn to ash. Yet, this kernel of anguish is buried within an adventure that invites exploration, filled with…

  • Infamous: Second Son Review

    Infamous: Second Son represents a significant departure from the comic book roots of its predecessors. While it’s undeniably an open-world superhero action game—and an excellent one at that—it also embraces a weightier, more realistic tone that surprised me as an Infamous fan, but ultimately pays off. The game delivers impressive storytelling and gameplay, even if…

  • Assassin Creed Valhalla Review

    Like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Origins before it, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla continues the series’ evolution into a full-fledged open-world RPG. However, Ubisoft has reintroduced some of its stealth-action roots, which makes this approach more appealing. Valhalla’s primary focus is on its vast and beautifully rendered recreation of Dark Ages England, a world brought to life…

  • Batman Arkham Origin Review

    Batman has always thrived in the shadows, but in Batman: Arkham Origins, he finds it hard to escape the shadow of his own previous games. While it’s as good as Batman: Arkham City in many aspects, it doesn’t surpass it. The game inherits a fantastic combat system but lacks the fresh ideas and polish that…

    Dying Light’s city of Harran, despite being squalid and overrun with zombies, is far from a depressing wasteland. Instead, it offers a vibrant, ambitious open-world playground. Here, buildings are meant to be climbed, the undead can be eliminated in creative ways, and there’s always something intriguing to discover nearby. However, this becomes apparent only after…
