The holiday season brought an avalanche of incredible games. Here are the ones you absolutely shouldn’t miss.

AAA Blockbusters

Starfield: Beyond the Veil

Bethesda’s latest expansion takes the already massive game to new heights. The new star systems are breathtaking, and the story missions are their best work yet.

Elden Ring: The Shadow Complete Edition

FromSoftware delivered the definitive edition of their masterpiece. If you haven’t played it yet, now is the time.

Grand Theft Auto VI

The most anticipated game of the decade did not disappoint. Vice City never looked so good, and the dual-protagonist system adds incredible depth.

Indie Darlings

Hollow Depths

A Metroidvania with a unique twist — you’re exploring downward through layers of a dreamscape. The hand-painted art style is gorgeous.

Clockwork Garden

A puzzle game where you tend to a mechanical garden. Relaxing, beautiful, and surprisingly deep.

Neon Drift

A racing game that combines synthwave aesthetics with tight, responsive controls.

VR Highlights

VR gaming continues to improve. Astral Projection lets you literally walk through walls in a mystery adventure, while Beat Forge turns rhythm gaming into a full-body workout.
