Diablo IV isn't bad perse, it's just not as exciting as the previous three entries. Outside of the sluggish DLC menus and queues to login, it functions well. It's just not exciting to play. - Justin

Even though it's barely in Early Access, DRG:S stands out as the most innovative VS-like I've played to date. Light on content (for now), but deep on mechanics. - Justin

Returnal is what you'd get if Metroid Prime and Dark Souls had a baby. Just be ready to throw on some mods if you're not into the intense difficulty. A gorgeous, engaging experience. - Justin

It's not as deep as Slay the Spire, but that doesn't stop Balatro from being an absolutely fantastic poker-based roguelike deck builder. It's so fast and engaging that it's mesmerizing. - Justin

An absolutely stellar Zelda 2 style faux retro adventure. With cheats, meaningful accessibility options, and a mountain of different endings there's something here for everyone. Absolute must play.

Stomping around in MW5 just feels fantastic. If you like giant robots then its hard to go wrong here. Some of the missions can drag a bit, but the action more than makes up for it. - Justin

This is a great implementation of the tabletop game. It has an interesting campaign, engaging tactical combat, and a really fun career mode. It's a bit poorly optimized, but still a blast. - Justin

Options are barebones, but enough to get you through the games. The fast forward runs at a reasonable pace, and (most importantly) doesn't speed up the music. No save states, though. -Saturn

Chronicon is a wonderful celebration of only the best portions of the action RPG genre. It's deep, varied, and addictive. Hands down the best ARPG since Torchlight 2. - Justin

Streets of Rage 4 doesn't try to re-invent the wheel, it just presents a very well-done version of it. Classic Streets of Rage gameplay, lots of unlockables, and great visuals. - Justin
