Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is the best iteration of the character and easily the best thing Xbox has put out in years. MachineGames understood the assignment and nailed every aspect of the character while making it feel like a new entry in the movie/adventure series. The performances are stellar, the puzzles are amazing, and this easily worked its way into my best games of the year. They nailed what makes Indy special and there is just so much to love from start to finish. This is also a long game, and I find myself coming back to explore more after completing it. Do not sleep on this one, the fact that it is in Game Pass makes it a no-brainer.

Overall, Black Ops 6 is a testament to the enduring appeal and continual innovation of the Call of Duty series.

There’s no doubt Dragon Quest III is one of my favorite games of all time. A remake was a risky move, considering both the old-school nature of the game and the fact that it has technically been remade three times already (Super NES, Game Boy Color, and the Mobile/Switch versions). I am so glad that Square Enix decided to take the leap and build this game into their incredible HD 2D engine. I’m even more excited that we’re getting DQ1 and 2 in this style next year (although I’m very curious how they’ll pull off the solo nature of DQ1). Whether this is your first or fourth time going through this absolute classic, you’ll completely adore this version. I hope it helps a whole new generation of RPG gamers experience a true pioneer.
