A stunning blend of bone-breaking action and delicate drama, it’s a nuanced story packed full of memorable characters and moments that keep you guessing at every turn. Its mix of rhythmic combat, smart puzzles, and nourishing side stories combine to create an unforgettable journey through stunn...
Immortality seems like a bizarre concept on paper: you’re tasked with determining what mysterious fate befell fledgling actress Marissa Marcel, but to do so you must analyze a box set of three unreleased feature films whose story chapters and special features can only be experienced entirely out of sequence as though the scene selection is stuck on...

- Immortality. Every year, an indie darling is able to stand in the face of AAA behemoths and become one of the best games of the year. In 2022, that game is Immortality, an innovative video game where players must scrub through production footage of three unreleased films to discover what happened to missing film star Marissa Marcel.
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Some games feature deep, complex stories and wildly innovative gameplay that will redefine the industry. Others are just a whole lot of fun.
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3. For RPG fans, the Xenoblade series has been overlooked for too long. Despite containing some of the richest stories, worlds, and systems in the genre today, it just couldn’t get the recognition it deserved outside of niche circles.
