It took six years of anticipation since the release of Metro: Last Light for the 7th generation of consoles. Based on the third and final book in the trilogy, Metro Exodus continues the story of the Spartan Order after the bloody battle at D6 in the previous game. But this time, it takes players way away from the familiar underground tunnels and opens up multiple outdoor locations in post-apocalyptic Russia to explore.

Touting awesome graphics, very realistic physics and amazing worldwide locations, World Enduro Rally seems to offer a lot of bang for your buck. And for the record, those are all quotations from the official Xbox store page. But the bang itself ends up being a sad fart and your buck might be better spent elsewhere.

Created by only two people from Ska Studios, Salt and Sanctuary is a challenging, 2D action role-playing game heavily inspired by Dark Souls. After nearly three full years on the market, this punishingly difficult title finally arrives on Xbox One and - spoilers - it was well worth the wait.

What do you get when you merge Capcom with Sengoku era Japan? As it turns out, an action-oriented Resident Evil game featuring samurai and demons, instead of reanimated corpses. That's the best way I can possibly describe Onimusha: Warlords, a remastered version of the original title from 2001.

Originally released as an Xbox 360 exclusive title way back in 2008 and ported to the PlayStation 3 a year later, Tales of Vesperia is a traditional JRPG by Bandai Namco. If you're familiar with other games in the genre by the publisher, like .hack and Ni No Kuni, then you probably already know what to expect. Which is often nothing less than awesome.

It has been a while since we first witnessed Below, at E3 2013. At the time, it was touted as a brutally difficult action adventure with roguelike elements. This premise got many players excited, including me, but who could've thought that Below would then be stuck in development for years. Fast forward half a decade later and Below has finally arrived on the Xbox storefront. While it seems to have delivered on most of its gameplay selling points, whether or not the world is worth exploring, is an entirely different question.

While many modern titles conveniently fall into either big-budget or indie categories, Subnautica takes the best of both worlds. It merges beautiful, highly detailed aesthetics and an impressively sized world, along with the charm and mechanics of an indie game. Players on PC have been enjoying this game for nearly a whole year, and now, it has finally arrived on consoles. Let's examine this beauty.

During my time with Darksiders 3, I couldn't help but constantly compare it to the Dark Souls games. Both now share a lot more beyond the mere word "Dark" in their titles. From challenging combat, an interconnected world and collection of souls, the third entry seems to have drawn an ample amount of inspiration from the Souls series. Even certain boss battles summon a sense of deja vu, but with all these similarities, does Darksiders 3 stand on its own and, more importantly, serve as a worthy sequel to its predecessors?

I love Beat 'em ups. River City Ransom, Scott Pilgrim, Streets of Rage; you name it, I've probably played it. Or, at the very least, know enough to talk about one. This genre provides an enjoyable experience for one or multiple players, while also being challenging, yet not too complex in terms of mechanics. So, now you can imagine my excitement at the opportunity to cover an upcoming title in one of my favourite genres. I Am the Hero is a 2D pixel-art brawler featuring a cool-looking character and a killer soundtrack.

There's no denying it - the genre of 2D adventure games has become quite overcrowded in recent years; especially after the widespread success of Shovel Knight. Each year seems to be filled to the brim with new entries, and even dormant titles like Mega Man and Metroid have received long-overdue continuations. Developed by Discord Games following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Chasm is the newest addition to the addictive Metroidvania style games.

MechaNika is a short, yet memorable puzzle adventure game.

Skyhill is a 2D roguelike game, with a heavy emphasis on exploration. In the endless sea of similar titles though, what makes this one stand out?

Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is a new and improved version of the original game released in 2012 for the Xbox Live Arcade and PC. This edition features numerous visual enhancements, remastered audio, and previously released DLC, as well as two different upgrade options for the owners of the original.

It's that time of the year once again; it's time to play some nerve-tingling horror games. Actually, it's always a good time to play horror games, but now there's a valid reason to scream off the top of your lungs, keep all of the lights in the house on, and check under the bed before sleep. To celebrate the upcoming festivities, this Halloween list compiles 10 horror games from multiple generations and gaming platforms. Enjoy!

Allow me to begin by saying this - I’m in no way an enthusiast of digital media. I used to be the guy who passionately advocated the superiority of physical games while having Olivia Newton John’s hit song playing in the background. Like many, I grew up at a time when neatly boxed games with colorful artworks and thick manuals were the only option. Receiving a highly desired game for Christmas, unwrapping it and inhaling that factory-fresh smell, is probably something only a handful of people outside of the hobby would not find disturbing.
