They’re all fairly recent releases, so if you missed them during the heady, strange days of the pandemic, now is the perfect time to catch up:...

My dentist, however, at least has the good sense to let me watch Netflix while he goes to town on my teeth.The Division2, on the other hand, doesn’t want me to skip its laborious narrative. I haven’t finished the story missions. I haven’t even played through 10 hours yet. But I don’t need to drink a gallon of sour milk to know it’s a bit off....
