Rune Factory 5 has much of the mechanical depth that made its predecessor so enjoyable, but none of the improvements one would expect from a leap to a new, more powerful platform. Its farming, crafting, combat, and relationship systems remain varied and nuanced, satisfying enough to keep me hooked as someone who loves the soothing nature of farming and life sims. But I’m disappointed that yet another game in this genre has created an empty, technically janky 3D world – especially when the studio behind it clearly has such excellent art chops demonstrated in the occasional animated cutscenes and character portraits. Its bad performance didn’t necessarily stop me from enjoying the 45+ hours I dumped into it, but it did make that time far more frustrating, and it’s a shame Rune Factory wasn’t able to make a grander statement in its dedicated Switch debut.

Tunic is an unapologetically challenging action-adventure game that is charming, multi-layered, and immensely rewarding to solve.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen represents the best expansion that Destiny has ever received – from the fantastic campaign to its world-class raid to the new abilities and weapons that will forever change the way I fight on battlefield. I didn’t think it possible, but by God, Bungie actually managed to tell an impressively good story in Destiny alongside all that too, and that just warms my Stasis-frozen heart. I still wish they showed more love to competitive multiplayer and Gambit, which badly need help due to the severe neglect they’re currently experiencing, and the presence of bugs and performance issues is troubling in a shooter that usually has few hiccups – but overall The Witch Queen has put a big, stupid grin on my face that I don’t see going away any time soon.

It may be a little rough around the edges, but Aztech Forgotten Gods certainly has its charms. It’s refreshing to see a rarely seen historical setting brought to life in a new way, and Achtli’s struggle to overcome her own past while grappling with the history of Aztec civilization makes her a worthy heroine. But while it can be an enjoyable adventure in its own right, Aztech doesn’t stand out among the more ambitious big-budget games it’s competing for attention with right now – especially when its disobedient camera, weak combat, and aggravating boss battles drag its otherwise satisfying flying back down to Earth.

Divine new setting aside, Dawn of Ragnarok doesn’t take the long-standing formula of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla to new heights in any significant way. The Hugr-Rip and new host of supernatural abilities are a fun addition to the series, but they’re used so sparingly that they don’t feel vital. Outside of that, my 20-hour adventure through Eivor’s godly alter ego felt much like the last 100-plus hours I’ve spent with them since the main game came out 15 months ago. It’s consistently fun gameplay, yes, but also disappointing and overworn in that I’m starved for some kind of real shakeup to how it plays. Instead, the only surprises left to anticipate are how Ubisoft is going to repurpose systems we’ve already seen every bit of to fit into a new theme and setting. The banality of the mostly unaltered flow of gameplay doesn’t do the celestial locales and story any justice.

Have A Nice Death is a punishing but satisfying roguelike with some diabolically tough boss fights. The darkly dorky setting and office humor lend it more than enough charm to make me want to discover more of its world. But it's made significantly more frustrating than it probably needs to be by very stingy long-term progression and limited defensive abilities in comparison to its huge array of fun-to-use offensive weapons. When I wasn't feeling the discouraging void inside dragging me down, I was reveling in the hundreds of ways I could make these visually and mechanically memorable undead wish they never lived at all.
