The Division 2 is the year’s best loot shooter. It’s a bit of a paradox, considering Ubisoft’s flair for turning darker, political narratives into episodes of Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, but their take on a post-apocalyptic Washington, DC is a captivating technical achievement that’s rewarding from the get-go. It ties refined cover shooter mechanics to a new drop-in matchmaking system and smarter enemy AI that make action sequences more tactical than predictable, and with an endgame that lives by classes, raids, strongholds, and customization, there’s a lot of stuff that just needs doing. It piles on to create a gameplay loop that never stops looping — making it a compelling, thrills and skills RPG that sets the bar for the shared world shooter genre.
Metro Exodus is the best entry in the criminally underrated Metro series. It’s far more open-ended than the first two games, but it’s also more focused than sprawling sandbox games like Fallout 4 and Far Cry New Dawn. It gives you just enough freedom and space that you can discover things on your own and chart a personal course, but it’s not so massive that you ever lose track of what you’re doing. Missions and areas get more linear as you progress, and it quickly becomes clear that nothing was sacrificed in exchange for the game’s openness. It’s amazing how well the structured missions hold up, considering how much work must’ve went into the open worlds. The final area is especially brilliant, not only for how it brings the game back to the series’ tunnel-crawling roots, but also how it caps off Exodus’ powerfully human story, which still occupies my thoughts weeks later.

“On paper, Dead Cells is an amalgamation of familiar ideas, some of which have been recycled to the point of overexposure; the exploration, discovery, and gradual empowerment of Castlevania and Metroid, the trial-and-error runs of Spelunky, and the oblique world of Dark Souls. But what truly distinguishes Dead Cells is the harmony it achieves between these individual elements. Developer Motion Twin successfully captures the essence of each of the games it is inspired by and uses them to give life to an experience that is refined and refreshing.”
Studio Ghibli may no longer be involved, but just like the first game, Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom truly looks and feels like a joyous anime adventure transformed into an absorbing role-playing epic. It’s still delightfully strange, and that’s a very good thing: this doesn’t feel like another Final Fantasy. And it makes some big strides over the first game, with improved combat along with an extremely clever player progression system that’s tied into the narrative. We’d still point you towards the original game to start, of course – but if you dug that one, there’s plenty more to like in this gorgeous sequel. Read more info on https://thedawnofgames.com/.
