Just to drive home the idea that there’s practically zero distance between 10 and one, let's start with a clear Game of the Year candidate in many people's minds: Deathloop. This time-twisting sandbox feels like a mash-up of all the best ideas from developer Arkane, the studio behind the Dishonored series and 2017's Preyreboot. As Colt, players cla...
Life is Strange has always been a video game series that not only sees the best in people but in its own medium as well. More than any installment before it, though, True Colorsis a mature, nuanced exploration of embodied empathy, both as an IRL phenomenon and a staple of video game narratives. Protagonist Alex Chen's superpowered empathy is like a...
Yes, Hitman IIIis a 2021 release, it dropped on Jan. 20. And yes it's totally OK if you forgot, because what is time anymore? For a guy like Agent 47, star of the Hitman series, time is precious. Hitman IIIis fundamentally a puzzle game, just like its predecessors. The puzzle is always the same: Figure out how to kill a target without getting caugh...
There is no greater and less controllable source of stress in life than time. Despite its apparent abundance on a grand scale, as individuals we never have enough of it and making more time for one person almost always means taking it away from another. Therein lies the genius of Unsighted, one of the year’s best and most under-discussed games: You...
This one's technically a twofer because we couldn't decide on just one. Riders Republic from Ubisoft and Forza Horizon 5from Playground Games are simpatico experiences that both embrace a philosophy of setting players loose in a massive open world and allowing them to chart their own path through the game. In Riders, this takes the form of an anyth...
Psychonauts 2is one of the year’s must-play experiences: It's a thoughtful, digestible, empathetic handling of human emotions that renders the inner life of different characters as mental worlds where Raz, the game's hero, helps others fight whatever is plaguing their mind. Its colorful and frequently comedic execution exemplifies how we can talk a...
My first experience with Unpackingwas watching someone else play it. Once they explained the premise of the game — unpack moving boxes for a nameless protagonist and find space for her stuff in the various places she’s lived — they showed me which level they were working on. The apartment was modern, glassy, and kind of sterile in that fancy high-r...
If you want to talk about the surprises of 2021, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxysure did pop in out of nowhere. The story-driven adventure with Marvel's premiere cosmic superhero squad takes some character cues from the MCU, but its deep-diving story is much more heavily rooted in names, locations, and situations from Marvel Comics. It's got an un...
The Artful Escape is simple on its face. All you really do for the length of its five- to six-hour playtime is walk from left to right, occasionally pausing to tackle very simple, very forgiving Simon Says-like button match challenges. You're armed with a sweet electric guitar that you can shred with at the press of a button. And shred you will as ...
We started on a timeloop and we're ending on a timeloop. Returnal, from developer Housemarque, is a tough game to play in 2021 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive, given the Sony console's scarcity. It's also a wrenchingly challenging and unforgiving game that plays like a mash-up of Hades and Geometry Wars. So even if you have the right hardware, there's...

- Inscryption+ Inscryption is a game about games, centered around a narrative with as many layers as a Russian nesting doll. It begins as a standard roguelike deck-building game, and this first act is meaty enough that I was hooked by the time developer Daniel Mullins pulled the rug out from beneath my feet.
- Chicory: A Colorful Tale+ For a game about a cute little dog with a paintbrush, Chicory: A Colorful Tale hits hard. The anthropomorphic canine you inhabit begins the game as the janitor for a famous artist, a bunny named Chicory.
- Halo Infinite+ The Halo franchise has been a powerhouse of the gaming industry for two decades now. Its entries have won countless awards and accolades, and have been named Game of the Year and even Game of the Decade.
- Metroid Dread+ The Metroid series has housed some of the most influential video games in history. But it hasn’t seen the same release cadence as Nintendo’s other major franchises, like Mario and the Legend of Zelda.
