Panzer Dragoon: Remake reviewed by Mike Epstein on Nintendo Switch. “Panzer Dragoon: Remake is a cool window back to a neat little corner of video game history. With modernized graphics acting as rose-tinted glasses to make it more visually pleasing than the 1995 original, this is a neat little arcade shooter that keeps things exciting

Persona 5 Royal reviewed by T.J. Hafer on PlayStation 4 Pro. “Persona 5 was already a strong front-runner for being the best JRPG ever made, and Royal really gets me wondering what else could even compete. The excellent story and its lovable, multidimensional characters along with the challenging, tactical combat are all refined and back

Resident Evil 3 Single-Player reviewed by Lucy O’Brien on PlayStation 4 Pro. Also available on Xbox One and PC. “Like Resident Evil 2 before it, Resident Evil 3’s 2020 remake does an amazing job of recapturing the horror and tension of the late ’90s original while completely modernizing its gameplay. It plays like a 2020

Bleeding Edge reviewed on PC by Kyle Campbell. Also available on Xbox One. “Bleeding Edge is an absolute ball when you’re clashing swords in the thick of a team fight or tweaking a fighter’s playstyle, so it’s a shame that the frustrating camera and lifeless ranged combat get in the way. There’s a lot of

Reviewed by Mitchell Saltzman on PlayStation 4. Also available on Xbox One, PC, and Switch One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is a great One Piece game, and though it wears its many flaws on its sleeveless, red button-down top and straw hat, its smart additions to combat go a long way in reducing the notorious

Borderlands 3: Guns, Love, and Tentacles reviewed on PC by Travis Northup. Also available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. “Guns, Love, and Tentacles is a witty, solid expansion for Borderlands 3 that mostly plays it safe with a proven formula without introducing anything that makes it a must-play experience. Still, the environments and enemies

Exit the Gungeon reviewed by Nic Vargus on Nintendo Switch. Also available on PC and iOS. “2019’s Enter The Gungeon was transcendent. It fused buttery-smooth combat, cutesy pixel art, and hilarious callbacks into a surprisingly deep roguelike-shmup. It had style, substance, and about a thousand different guns. Its spin-off, Exit the Gungeon, is a song

Half-Life: Alyx reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PC with Valve Index. “One of the first things that struck me when I started playing Half-Life: Alyx was the dirt under Alyx Vance’s fingernails. It’s a simple thing, but it’s not often that you see that level of fine detail in a VR game. Usually, virtual hands

My Hero One’s Justice 2 reviewed on PlayStation 4 by Suriel Vazquez, also available Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. This My Hero Academia-themed fighting game sequel touches up some of the nuances of the original’s combat and builds an impressive roster, but doesn’t bring its A-game when it comes to offering much beyond a

MLB The Show 20 reviewed by Gabriel Moss on PlayStation 4 Pro. “Considering the real MLB has recently delayed its 2020 season, MLB The Show 20 literally is the closest you’ll get to real pro baseball for a while. So it’s a good thing it’s great, as usual! That said, this is an annual franchise,

Black Mesa reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PC. #ign #gaming #blackmesa

The sequel to Team Ninja’s excellent blend of the action and Souls-like genres is here, and it succeeds as a wonderful evolution of everything that the first game did right, even though it’s many systems can sometimes slow the otherwise blistering pace.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows reviewed by Kyle Hilliard on Xbox One X. Also available on PlayStation 4 and PC. Narration by Max Scoville. “The premise of One Punch Man shouldn’t work.
