Each mind acts as its own world with a different look and feel, making for a constantly changing experience.

And, the story, as well as the visuals, may be whimsical and lighthearted but it's engrossing as well. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is aging like fine wine. It might just be one of the best video games of all time. And, though it has two decades of history behind it, the newest entry, Halo Infinite, is not a lazy attempt to cash in on a beloved name.

Ultra-violence and constant motion meet in this post-apocalyptic dystopian game. The game is set in Dharma Tower, a sort-of last refuge for humanity, where you ascend the tower through platforming and katana-induced carnage to take revenge on a ruthless ruler.

There's also an overwhelming amount of game here to play. With six different origin characters, custom tags to make your own, and over 74, lines of fully voiced dialogue, this massive RPG has more than enough to keep you coming back to it. In a roguelike, variety is king: Slay The Spire 's constantly changing decks of ability cards, powerful relics, and the three drastically different playable characters keeps these turn-based battles fresh and engaging for far longer than they have any right to.

Watching your character's attacks, defenses, skills, and powers evolve across its three chapters is a journey, and throwing your hand in at the end of a run knowing you may never see its like again can be like saying goodbye to a friend you were only just getting to know. Of course, the possibility of getting an even better combination the next time through makes it tough to resist hitting the New Game button, and the randomized Daily Climb runs give even veterans a new and interesting way to play every day.
