Nioh 3's consistently rewarding approach to open-world design, combined with its entertaining Ninja gameplay style, cements it as the best entry in the franchise.
High on Life 2 is the kind of game that you can put on, laugh at for a while, and forget what's troubling you, even though reminders might slip in through the pointed social commentary.
The Escapists 2's improvements over the previous game are plentiful and novel, but the frequent loss of progress and lack of manual saves stifles experimentation.
