The conspiracy plot and immersive-sim gameplay are enthralling, but the heavyhanded analogue—between racial apartheid and the treatment of people who decided to enhance their bodies—is absurd and overwrought.

Fast, energetic combat and magnificent animation is misspent in an insipid sludge of a narrative and setting. A solid six-hour experience smeared thin into 12-16 hours.

Ridiculously entertaining physics-based action in an absolutely gorgeous sandbox. The main story wraps up right before the gameplay loop becomes tiresome.

The racing genre is one often seen as providing little opportunity for a game to present a unique voice; Art of Rally proves this is not the case, with an expressive take on rally racing.

The gameplay loop is engaging, but progression is too slow, and the actual meat of the game—the dungeon crawling—is boring and not very fun.

Wonderfully charming and perfectly channels the spirit of its namesake. Plus, we love a LEGO game that actually has a mechanical reason to be made of LEGO!

A continual battle between a genuinely compelling concept and constant narrative fumbles, culminating in a rushed and unsatisfying ending. Would have benefited greatly from an editor.

A compelling foundation for riotous physics-based mayhem is completely squandered through baffling narrative and gameplay choices, and clear generative AI use in multiple places.

An interesting but racially insensitive Western shooter. Gameplay that begins as charmingly janky eventually becomes frustrating and tedious. Fun, with caveats.
