Before Netflix's upcoming live-action series or Cyberpunk 2077, there was The Wild Hunt. Join us this month as we revisit, or maybe visit for the first time, CD Projekt Red's award-winning RPG The Witcher 3.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a stadium-sized game hosting a mediocre sports team. While Wildlands set a bold new direction for the long-running series, Breakpoint doesn't carry the torch far enough.

Telltale's The Walking Dead has one of the most storied and often tumultuous histories of any video game saga ever made. This final package from Skybound will feel redundant for casual fans, but the diehards will love it.

The Sinking City is the latest in a long line of Lovecraft-inspired horror games. Unlike other recent tries, Frogwares doesn't stick to adapting one of the author's stories. Instead, they tell their own interesting but buggy tale.

Sumo Digital gave SEGA fans two good arcade racers during the previous console generation. They're back with a third entry now, but this time only Sonic's crew comes for the ride. The end result is another good effort.

Void Bastards stunned viewers when it debuted during December's Game Awards ceremony, and now that it's out it will surely do that again. It's a stylish, polished, and brilliantly executed video game virtually all should play.

RAGE 2 offers up a power fantasy like few games ever have. It looks great, plays like butter, and starts very strong. But the sheen of all your power comes crashing to a halt when the brief story leaves you with little else.

The Sniper Elite series has been on an upward trajectory for its entire run, with each game being markedly better than the last. Unfortunately, that means this remastering of 2012's game feels decidedly lackluster in 2019.

With great setpieces and an addictive class-based progression loop, World War Z is one of 2019's biggest and best surprises. Left 4 Dead fans should not miss it.

I had been calling My Time at Portia a farm life sim for over a year now, and though it's fair to call it that, in retrospect it doesn't seem accurate enough. Your time at Portia can excitingly be spent however you'd like.

I had played several hours of Generation Zero before ever beginning this review version of the game, and it's a reminder that some games can hold out for a good while before their problems are exposed.

We first spoke to Richard Rouse III just a short while after The Church in the Darkness was revealed over three years ago. He's back now to give us another interview and the exclusive sneak peek at the game's 48 achievements.

E3 is in the books. After 60+ games were on stage during Microsoft's show, which one impressed you the most? It's tough to choose just one, but we've tried to at least capture the many probable heavy hitters in this poll.

E3 2019 has arrived! Well, okay, it doesn't officially kick off until Tuesday, but with a full weekend slate of press conferences and gameplay streams, the big news starts today. What has you most excited for the week ahead?

May 2019 will be remembered as the most generous month in the history of gamerscore -- at least for as long as we've been tracking it with these monthly posts. A whopping 13 easy games grace the list from last month.

Do any new releases coming in June catch your eye? It's notoriously a quiet month, though not as quiet as July, but there are still a few exciting title to look forward to, especially for fans of racing around all sorts of tracks.

Our full review session with RAGE 2 is still ongoing, but we wanted to share some early impressions while you wait for the complete verdict. The early hours have been a bit of a paradox, really. A Tale of Two Apocalyptic Cities.

Although gaming visuals get all the attention at trade shows and in trailers, don't underestimate the power of a superb audio experience. That's what we found in the Audeze Mobius, the impressive high-end gaming headset.

Regulators, mount up. One of the week's biggest headlines is of yet another federal government looking at acting on consumer interests and regulating or outright banning loot boxes. Is this the solution you want?

April's easy achievement lists number far fewer than usual, but in terms of average completion time per game, nothing comes close to this month's easy offerings. Look out for three games that can be done in 20 minutes total!
