Bugsnax
Despite being thoroughly described to me beforehand, Bugsnax still managed to be regularly surprising.
Resident Evil 3
The remake of Resident Evil 3 is always being pulled in two different directions.
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
The Deluxe rerelease adds so many improvements to Pikmin 3’s improvements that I’m confident in calling it at least better than the first game.
DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One
It’s a testament to how exhilarating the rapid-fire brutality of DOOM Eternal was that even when it’s repeatedly kicking your face in, it’s still an absolute blast.
Hades
Hades is a deep and varied roguelike hack-and-slash that’s overflowing with vibrant content.
Panzer Dragoon: Remake
The original Panzer Dragoon is a classic, so it’s unusual how decidedly inferior this shot-for-shot recreation was at launch.
Fortnite: Battle Royale
I’m ambivalently surprised to find Fortnite’s Battle Royale component quite enjoyable.
Shovel Knight Showdown
This entire endeavour could be described as “endearingly scrappy.”
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
There’s only so much mileage to watching 60 players spectacularly fail to overcome intentionally wobbly physics.
SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE
This is the “MORE” that players clamoured for, but it’s diluted through hundreds of bite-sized repetitions.
