Video Game Review

One of the most influential franchises in the video game industry returns with the release of “Devil May Cry 5” (Capcom).

Political intrigue, compelling writing and unique mechanics converge in the engaging stealth game “The Occupation” (Humble Bundle).

The latest title to come from publishing giant Electronic Arts and developer BioWare, “Anthem” is a work of art.

“Apex Legends” (Electronic Arts), a first-person multiplayer shooter, drew a record 10 million gamers within the first 72 hours of its release.

“Kingdom Hearts III” (Square Enix) concludes an epic saga that spans nearly 20 years of storytelling and mixes familiar Disney characters with personas original to the franchise.

Set in a feudal Japan besieged by monsters, “Onimusha: Warlords” (Capcom) is a 2001 gem that has been remastered with updated mechanics, HD graphics and a new soundtrack.

“Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek” (tinyBuild) is the prequel to a surprise cult favorite of 2017, “Hello Neighbor.” This suspenseful puzzle game answers many questions players were left asking after the first title’s conclusion.

When a video game is set amid the vast, empty expanses of outer space, it had better feature the familiar hallmarks of the action-adventure genre rather than aim for anything resembling reality.
