Tribes Of Midgard Review
In order to burden the player even more, there are joints that spawn in the open world every few days. They are giant giants that make their way into your village and although it may take a few days to go in to your township, it would be wrong to presume that you don't worry about them as they get closer to the village.

Chernobylite Review
Imagine a horror game taking place in a real-world place full of history and bad radioactive energy. Every time you die, you wake up in a dream landscape where you can see how the most important decisions you have made are interconnected and how everything will change because they use Chernobyl shards as payment for the interdimensional gods who are forced to run the show. It is not easy for a game to reveal the workings of its electoral system, but given the Chernobyl network's vast range of choices and possible outcomes, the developers were right to flaunt them.

The Ascent Review
There are many opportunities to improve your character with a variety of skills, but I don't think I've ever really understood how to improve, nor has it helped me in any tangible sense. Weapons and armor are designed to defend together against different elementary resistances, but the game does not adequately explain how to equip each one for each task, why some kind of weapon works better against a particular enemy, or why an achievement emerges to celebrate a combination. In fact, there are a lot of small factors that make The Ascent look more like a PC game than an Xbox Series X showcase, as it turns out.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Review
Ghost of tsushima has a solid history around jin in terms of value, but introducing a new segment in act 2 seems a bit strange when you have walked the dlc structure of most games. The expansion of the original story in directors cut begins when jin discovers that a mongolian leader named eagle has planned an attack on tsushima and he has to come to the island and jump aboard the ship to stop him. The general story of the nearby island of iki, the mongolian attempts to gain a foothold, and the jins "struggle against the mongols through open battles and evasions is not too different from the story in the main game.

Contra Returns!!
Contra is Back!!!! - And with a white hot fury that would leave some wondering what a contra even is or why its so awesome as the are defined by the sounds of explosions and laser noises. If you where one of the few people allowed to sign up for the Beta of this game for mobile, then you are all too familiar with the opening screeching 80's style guitar that is the Contra opening, an opening that says- "This is Contra you are playing- and nothing else."

AlphaGo
The ancient game of Go is probably the most complex game ever devised by man. Invented in China, more than 3,000 years ago, it is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day. It has 10^170 possible board configurations, which is more than the number of atoms in the universe. For those familiar with Chess, Go itself is more straightforward, yet more complicated. Simpler because all of the pieces are the same, just black and white, and in Go, the pieces do not move around the board. The playing pieces are called “stones”. One player uses white ones and the other, black. Players take turns placing their stones on vacant intersections or “points” of the board. Once placed, stones may not be shifted but can be removed from the board if the stone is surrounded and “captured” by the opponent. And when a game concludes, the winner is determined by counting each player’s surrounding territory along with their amount of captured stones. Overall, Go reigns as king of all strategy games due to its mind-boggling number of possible board sequences, complexity, and millions of experts who play the game worldwide.

How the most recent DLC characters in SSBU faired in competitive play

Many of which had minor tweaks to their gameplay but generally resembled their older counterparts.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Review
It is the nuanced depiction of psychosis that makes Hellblade so special. Games often go wrong with these kinds of things, but Ninja Theory has done its homework with a documentary called Beyond the Screen, in which the studios chat with a Cambridge professor and psychosis patients in the hope that players will understand psychosis through the interactivity the game offers. The Myth of the Norse Meets the Celtic transforms a heroic story into a psychological character study that follows the quest of young warrior Senua to go to hell and regain a beloved soul.
