For platform fans, Unbound: Worlds Apart will be a delight. It's a challenging game, but completely fair and with some well-worked checkpointing that ensures that dying is not a pain. It's inventive as well, with the use of portals helping your puzzle-solving and way through the adventure.
I have no hesitation in recommending Edge of Eternity. It is a huge game, but more importantly, it has an epic story to be told. The combat system has some nice touches which keeps it fresh, and the crafting is deep and immersive. This is a game that many will be playing for days and weeks on end, with Midgar Studios needing praise for creating something special.
Halo Infinite’s Campaign has been out for a little while now, and there have been many reviews and opinion pieces to come out since its release. After playing through the game myself, I decided to boil it down to simply what things were a hit and what were a miss in Halo Infinite's Campaign.
If there’s a theme this February, it’s Xbox games that got shunted out of 2021. Elden Ring, Dying Light 2: Stay Human and Life is Strange: Remastered Collection have all been kicked down the road at least twice. 2021’s loss is 2022’s gain.
Reverie Knights Tactics is a distillation - and slight simplification - of everything that makes turn-based strategy games great. It doesn’t push the boundaries of the genre like your average X-COM, but sometimes a comfy bit of armchair warfare is exactly the cup of tea you need. As a bonus, you get a likeable fantasy romp as a side-biscuit.
What I would like to do, with your indulgence of course, is to look back over the last year and check out the best RPGs of 2021. It won’t be in any particular order, it will just be all the games that I think you should play, should you have an RPG shaped hole in your life.
