Started the site after one too many eighty-hour games got scored in three days. Handles the longest playthroughs on the roster and edits everything that goes up, which is why the copy sounds like one person even though it is six.

Keep Driving
A good ending arrived about forty minutes before we were ready for one, and that's less a flaw than the entire point of a road trip you don't get to plan.
Scored 8.1 out of ten
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II
The sequel keeps everything that made the first game difficult and finally explains itself.
Scored 8.8 out of ten
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
A first game from a thirty-person studio that outwrites almost everything its budget was measured against.
Scored 9.3 out of ten
Metaphor: ReFantazio
The Persona team leaves high school and finds something angrier to say.
Scored 9.0 out of ten
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
An expansion the size of a full game, built almost entirely for the people who already finished the last one.
Scored 9.1 out of ten
Dragon's Dogma 2
A brilliant, hostile game that is entirely uninterested in whether you are enjoying yourself.
Scored 7.4 out of ten
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
A hostile, atmospheric, deeply compromised game that no other studio would have finished at all.
Scored 7.2 out of ten
Baldur's Gate 3
The rare enormous game where the size is not the point — the reactivity is.
Scored 9.4 out of ten
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
Twenty-five hours that finally deliver the game the marketing promised four years too late.
Scored 8.9 out of ten
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
A sequel that hands you a physics engine and trusts you not to need permission.
Scored 9.0 out of ten
Starfield
A thousand planets, and the best hours are all spent in four cities.
