DIRT RALLY 2.0
Although it’s been a relatively quiet year for
racing games, Dirt 2.0 came out of nowhere
and blew away the competition. It’s a fantastic
looking game with incredible graphics and
mind-blowing sound. Since it’s an accurate
representation of a rally racer, this game is
rock hard with precision controls that will
test even the most seasoned racing gamer out
there. Featuring some of the most famous rally
courses from around the world, this is not a
game for the casual racer, but if you’re looking
for a true driving challenge then Dirt 2.0 is the
game for you.

THE OUTER WORLDS
Fallout used to be a fantastic RPG that captured
the imaginations of gamers around the world
through its funny dialogue, unique set pieces,
and a wonderful world to explore. Sadly
Bethesda seems to have dropped the ball on
the franchise lately, but fortunately Obsidian
(creators of the ever-popular Fallout: New
Vegas) returns with their own unique take on
the RPG format. The Outer Worlds packs in
a large portion of flexible quests and conflicts
within its series of smaller worlds but the
combat, characters, and companion systems are
excellent and gives the game a unique identity
of its own. It might just be the best RPG out
right now.

METRO EXODUS
The Russian novel-inspired Metro games have
slowly through the years gained much adoration
from many first-person shooter fans and with
Metro Exodus they have not only released the
best Metro game ever, but arguably the best
first-person shooter of the year. Exodus takes
the fear-inducing formula of the series and
places it into expansive, sandbox levels without
losing any of the incredible tension that makes
the series so distinctive. It tells a great story as
you journey across a post-apocalyptic Russia
looking for a safe haven for your people. It’s
gorgeous, gruesome and utterly terrifying.
