Crimson Desert throws almost everything you could want into one massive open-world adventure. Kliff’s journey, brutal boss fights, exploration, and finally getting to ride a dragon made this a game I didn’t want to put down.

Ready or Not turns every doorway into a decision. Whether you're raiding a powerful man's daughter's birthday party, clearing the halls of a hotel, or searching the backwoods of a twisted cult, you won't be bored. Smart teamwork, tactical tools, unpredictable suspects, and tense gunfights make every mission feel dangerous.

Ten years after its release, Fortnite continues to prove why it's one of the most influential games ever made. It's constantly evolving, packed with unforgettable collaborations, and, for me, became much more than just a battle royale. It helped keep my best friend in Texas and me connected during one of the toughest times in recent history.

For decades, Harry Potter fans dreamed of receiving an open-world RPG that truly captured the magic of attending Hogwarts. Hogwarts Legacy finally delivers that dream. From exploring the iconic castle to mastering powerful spells, this is the Harry Potter game I've wanted all along.

Some horror games rely on jump scares. Others rely on gore. Silent Hill 2 Remake relies on something far more terrifying: your own mind. Bloober Team didn't simply remake one of the greatest horror games ever created. They elevated it, delivering one of the scariest games I've played in a very long time.

On paper, Gangs of Sherwood sounded like a winning formula. A futuristic take on Robin Hood, four-player co-op, over-the-top combat, and RPG progression should have been a recipe for success. Unfortunately, despite some entertaining moments, the game never reaches its full potential.

Every once in a generation, a game comes along that reminds you why you fell in love with gaming in the first place. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 did exactly that for me. It instantly brought me back to the first time I played Final Fantasy VII and reminded me why story-driven RPGs continue to be my favorite genre. This isn't just one of the best RPGs in years. It's one of the best games I have ever played.

The last several Resident Evil games and remakes have been nothing short of spectacular, raising the bar for survival horror time and time again. Thankfully, Resident Evil Requiem continues that incredible streak, delivering a gripping story, unforgettable gameplay, and one of the most satisfying conclusions in franchise history... well, almost.

James Bond has had plenty of video game adaptations over the years, but very few have truly captured the feeling of becoming 007. 007 First Light changes that. With an incredible origin story, jaw-dropping locations, and nonstop action, IO Interactive has delivered the best Bond game since GoldenEye 007.

Some games entertain you for a few weeks. Others stay with you for years. Final Fantasy XIV is one of those rare MMORPGs that does more than offer endless content. It creates unforgettable adventures, meaningful friendships, and a world you'll never want to leave. It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever played and one of the greatest MMORPGs ever created.

I know this review is a bit late, but some games deserve to be remembered no matter how much time has passed. Diablo II is one of those games. It wasn't just a great action RPG. It helped shape my gaming life and introduced me to the excitement of online multiplayer gaming through Battle.net.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt isn't just one of the greatest RPGs ever created. It's one of the greatest video games ever made.
