The PlayStation 4 Pro is disappointingly not powerful enough to deliver 4K gaming at 60fps, but the improvements it brings to releases both new and old are impressive. If you're looking to play games at their best resolution or framerate, this is the system to have.
I felt extremely lucky when I heard the nightmarish stories of other PC players trying to enjoy Batman: The Telltale Series – Episode 1: Realm Of Shadows. I hadn’t had any issues at all, a privilege that allowed me to enjoy all the chapters of Telltale’s rendition of Gotham in one sitting. I got similarly lucky with the second episode, and while I may not have enjoyed the narrative or gameplay in that entry quite as much, it was still nice to run unencumbered through a game many others seemed to have technical issues with.
World of Final Fantasy is a loving 30th anniversary tribute to the beloved series, boasting an addictive monster-collection system and a fun (though admittedly goofy) narrative that brings together three decades of characters.
PSVR might be underpowered compared to its competitors, but its strongest experiences — some excellent launch games, Social Screen and Share — are the most telling of the fun that's still to come.
Dragon Quest Builders continues in the series' tradition of being slightly cumbersome and unpolished, but getting lost in its toybox pleasures is easy and extremely fun.
Paper Mario: Color Splash is a vibrant, humorous and fun experience. Continuing on the path of Sticker Star, its lack of more traditional RPG elements will leave some players cold, but it still carves a satisfying path all its own.
Gears of War 4 is a solid and enjoyable, if overly familiar, entry in the beloved cover-shooter franchise. Veterans will feel right at home, while newcomers will feel welcome.
Yo-Kai Watch 2 may enamor younger audiences with its charm and simplicity, but its appeal for adults will largely depend on how much patience they have.
River City: Tokyo Rumble is a fun throwback to the original's combo of beat-em-up and role-playing elements, even if it's an admittedly one-note experience.
