Far Cry Primal is packed full of stuff to do, just like every other open world game in publisher Ubisoft’s growing stable of the genre. It does some interesting things by applying the formula to a Stone Age setting, but like other Far Cry titles, it’s so broad that most of what it offers is simple, quick, and repetitive. In bursts, wandering the Stone Age lands with your bear bud in tow can be quite a bit of fun — but in larger doses, it turns out that even being a Prehistoric beast master is a day job that has its share of boring, menial tasks.

There’s a lot of talent at Campo Santo working on Firewatch, but the team’s first effort struggles to find its legs. It doesn’t quite have the writing chops to be a strong mystery, and it doesn’t bring the gameplay chops to make you feel like you’re an integral part of it. As a character drama, it lands closer to the mark, but spends too much time meandering in the woods. Firewatch comes off more as an experiment than a fulfilling game, and despite being beautiful and often compelling, it mostly smolders rather than catching flame.

Quirks aside, The Witness is a remarkable achievement. Its setting is lush and vivid, and its core puzzle-solving gameplay is intuitive without the need for instructions or tutorials. Developing a vocabulary for puzzle-solving in The Witness is very satisfying, and its abstracted approach to puzzles eliminates the directionless ambiguity that made Myst difficult to enjoy. The Witness is immersive, taxing, enlightening, cathartic, deeply frustrating, ultimately rewarding, and you’ll love every minute of it.

Fallout 4’s staler story and oversimplified dialog are relatively minor dings to a largely satisfying whole. Bethesda had two hugely popular games in Fallout 3 and Skyrim. Fallout 4 doesn’t make any radical leaps forward, but it smartly iterates upon the accumulated wisdom of its predecessors. It has simple, smart improvements to combat; companions have more depth; leveling is a more elegant process; and the addition of crafting and settlement building open up entirely new forms of play. All in all, Fallout 4 is the best, most polished Bethesda RPG to date. The Commonwealth is expansive, inviting, and a lovely place to explore for a few months.
