game review Archives

I’ve been waiting for Fallout 76 to arrive, downloaded it to my trusty PC, and have been enjoying playing it, except it's a soulless, bug-ridden mess.

The quiet moments are what really caught me. Battlefield V is a game full to the brim with down and dirty combat.

Warhammer Quest fans, it's time to celebrate! Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress is set to ship in less than a week! Curious about the new game's

Crystal Dynamics handed off the torch to Eidos Montreal for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, though the effort was a collaborative one between both studios.

DONTNOD Entertainment returns to Life is Strange with a bang. Literally. And it does not hold its punches for even a moment.

Capcom's Mega Man 11 on the Nintendo Switch might just be the biggest case of  "be careful what you wish for" that I've seen in a long time.

Quantic Dream's PlayStation exclusive Detroit: Become Human is a game fraught with several major problems, but is fascinating despite them..

There are some games you just know from the demo that you're going to love. For me, Spearhead Games' Omensight was one of those demos.

When planning my review for this game, I intended to examine God of War for how it plays, yes, but a large part of me also was constantly weighing the story against the previous games in the series. Which meant it disappointed me for repeating the same old mistakes.

Nintendo’s Detective Pikachu is pretty strange right from the start. Mostly because you’ve got a Pikachu with amnesia, who acts a whole lot like a middle-aged hardboiled detective.

En Masse Entertainment and Bluehole Studios's Tera has been available on PC since 2011, but only came to consoles today. Because this is a port, the focus of this review is mostly going to be on how the game holds up against more modern console MMOs, because that's what we're really asking ourselves.

The farming aspect of Pure Farming 2018 isn't anywhere near as tedious as it should be. Obviously you don't need to go through the physically grueling process of farming, though things do still take time to grow, you need to hire workers to help you run things, and you even get to drive the harvesting vehicles.

One of the more interesting games I used to play was Black & White, where you essentially ruled over a bunch of humans as a god and chose whether you wanted to be cruel or benevolent. A lot of other titles who tried to do this formula after Lionhead Studios had a habit of getting it wrong. Enter: Crest!

Crossover games. They're the Jetsons Meet The Flintstones version of interactive media. When you get two cool time-killing games like Bridge Constructor and Portal together to form their own game in the aptly titled Bridge Constructor Portal, one would expect awesome things to come from this. Right?

Review: Overall, there's a lot to enjoy about Yakuza 6 -- but at the same time, you can tell there was a point where the developers decided enough was enough and didn't push on for much more.

Review: The first chapter of The Council is a must-play at least just to see how this compares to other choose-your-own-adventure titles, we leave it up to you as to whether you want to buy the season pass.

Review: While there's a lot of enjoy about Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, the themes of the game go in a very different direction than the first.

The story of 3030 Deathwar Redux: A Space Odyssey can go off in a few different ways and keep you entertained for a while, but it eventually does have a decent and satisfying ending.

While the story is fun and the graphics are lovely, Last Day of June does hit a wall in replayability, and the outcome of the game is all but predictable.

Review: Kirby Star Allies is an excellent Kirby title that mixes old and new, not quite a nostalgia act and not quite innovative, but finding a nice sweet spot in the middle of it all.

When we first saw Sea of Thieves last year during Xbox's big presentation before E3 kicked off, this looked like one of the most promising multiplayer games we'd seen in a while. Seeking treasure with riddles, sailing ships, fighting off other pirates and a horrifying Kraken.

EA Originals and Hazelight's A Way Out is a playable prison break movie. In a lot of ways, it allows you to pretend you're Clint Eastwood in Escape from Alcatraz. However, because it can only be played as a two-person co-op game, Hazelight managed to give us more than just an interactive movie.

While I may not have been around to experience Centipede in its heyday, I can't think of a gamer born before 1990 who didn't experience this game in an arcade at some point. And now you can experience it on your tabletop too.

We're slowly approaching PAX East in Boston next week, and as we prepare to head into the convention with hopeful eyes, it does have us looking back at some of the items we received during PAX West last September. One of those items was Now Everyone Get The F%$# Out! from Starcap Games.

CocoBear's social gay RPG Gaydorado fills a very odd niche for gaming. It's a social RPG, which makes it the sort of game normally targeted toward women, but the target audience here is gay men.

Magic Notion's follow up to the original Kitty Powers Matchmaker, Kitty Powers' Love Life puts you in control of a city of couples. It's like The Sims but where the only point is to embrace your inner Yenta and fill your city with as many happy couples as possible.

Review: Void Dimensions and Oasis Games' Light Tracer is a pretty adorable VR game puzzle solver. At its core, Light Tracer is nothing more than a 3D puzzle game in VR.

Square Enix's Final Fantasy XV has been out on consoles since November of 2016, and despite the year and half since the game's initial release, it still manages to be an exciting, enjoyable journey into inevitable heartbreak and depression thanks to the newly released Royal Edition.

Going into Metal Gear Survive, I told myself one thing: I would not try to hold this game up to the standards of the previous Metal Gear games. Survive recycles a lot of assets and gameplay mechanics from The Phantom Pain, and it has a pretty fitting theme considering that fact.

Review: Polyarc's PSVR platformer Moss is nothing if not goddamn adorable. The game has you control the adventurous mouse Quill on an epic adventure, but you do so as her mysterious Watcher.
