Although its biggest swing doesn’t quite hit the mark, EA FC 27 is the most complete game in the franchise.

From the pervading dampness that engulfs St. Amelia’s streets to the tangible feelings of isolation they help conjure, Screen Burn Interactive has created something special. Townfall is terrifying, beautiful, and nightmarishly good fun. This is a Silent Hill game every survival horror enthusiast needs to play.

Resonant is bigger, bolder, and unmistakably Remedy. It may occasionally get in its own way, but when everything clicks into place, but its ambition is far more exciting than its frustrations are limiting.

Marvel’s Wolverine nails the power fantasy of being one of the world’s most legendary superheroes, but it can’t live up to the lofty heights of the Spider-Man games.

The Blood of Dawnwalker isn't perfect by any means, but its attempts to merge The Witcher's grungy world with an intense time limit make it stand out from Geralt’s masterpiece. Its story is riveting, its characters are expertly written, and its combat combined with the 30-day time limit are utterly unique, making for a thrilling adventure that is as bloody as it is good fun.

Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy completely turns the franchise's original style on its head, complete with Uncharted-like action and the classic horror fans of the series know and love. And it’s the best decision they could have made.

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is a tough but extremely rewarding shooter that's an utter blast when played as a team.

Beast of Reincarnation blends Sekiro-style parries, Clair Obscure-inspired action inputs, and weighty Soulslike boss fights into a combat system that feels fun and rewarding. It doesn't quite surpass the games that inspired it, but it carves out an identity that's very much a beast of its own.

Modern visuals and thoughtful quality-of-life improvements make a compelling case for Campaign Evolved being the best way to experience Bungie's masterpiece.

It's been 13 years since we first stepped onto Edward Kenway's ship in Assassin's Creed Black Flag. Now, we get that chance all over again thanks to the new Black Flag Resynced, a remake so perfect that it somehow makes one of the best Assassin's Creed games even better.
