Cyberpunk 2077 already needs a lot of patience and tolerance to go through the series of issues found in the PC iteration, and the console version asks even more from you, as it features more technical issues that will affect your playthrough.

Sackboy: a Big Adventure is a fantastic platformer that players of all ages would enjoy. You could feel uplifted, or encouraged, even, after playing just hours of Sackboy’s wacky journey. The game doesn’t re-invent the wheel for its genre but the impressive execution to put this platformer together proves that the world of Sackboy is a fun place to visit and that the polish done to every piece of the game makes it a must-buy for any enthusiast that owns a PS4 or PS5.

Kamen Rider: Memory of Heroez is probably the most ambitious Kamen Rider video game in a long while. It does a few interesting things to keep fans hooked, but doesn't do nearly enough by modern standards.

While it’s not without its faults, I enjoyed nearly every moment of my 50+ hours spent on the frantic battlefields of Hyrule playing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. With a strong story, copious amounts of fan-service, and a wealth of unique and balanced musou gameplay, it succeeds wildly both as a worthy sequel to Hyrule Warriors, and a semi-prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War was great overall but it’s multiplayer - being the main selling point for a Call of Duty game - is the weakest link in the package. The campaign can arguably be one of the best Call of Duty single player campaign in a long time and Zombies is more user friendly to get more players wrapped up in all of its madness.

All of these elements make Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, whether you love it or hate it, make a complete open-world RPG package. Like any large vessel with multiple shipwrights, some decisions and elements weigh the game down, but I would go as far as considering this one of the best Assassin’s Creed titles to come around in a long time.

As I did with the first two entries, I came into Watch Dogs: Legion with pretty mellow expectations, and like them, Legion impressed me just enough. While the story doesn't know what it wants to be half the time, the cast of villains is mercifully more interesting.

Aside from open-world issues carried over from the first game, a lack of significant endgame content, and the odd decision to change Peter Parker’s face model, Spider-Man: Miles Morales surpassed my expectations. The new spider-powers and gadgets in Miles’ arsenal are a nice addition to Marvel’s Spider-Man’s already solid base game.

I’ve played 30 hours of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and so far it’s a fine-tuned open world RPG that learned from it’s predecessors, with changes that improves character progression, and has a world filled with intriguing activities and the usual fluff that will keep you busy for hours on end.

With its myriad design issues and lack of content at launch, it’s difficult to recommend Marvel’s Avengers. But this is a game that can only get better, which isn’t publisher apologia, it’s just an undeniable truth for any game that leans so heavily into a future of post-launch updates.

While it is important to cover and show the accuracy and authenticity of the sport, Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions’ secret to success is that it puts the spotlight on its beloved characters and their unique abilities to tell a great sports story. No matter how ridiculous or unbelievable they are, it works as long as it entertains and inspires their audience.

Mortal Shell is bleak, twisted, and poses a challenge from start to finish. It will leave you wanting more, and while some mechanics weren't as fleshed out and diverse as I’d hoped, this game from Cold Symmetry is a commendable adventure that deserves the attention of those who love the subgenre.
