NieR: Automata
As NieR goes on, the story and world grows more quirky and interesting, creating a feeling unlike any other game I can think of ever having played. It’s a nice feeling to be playing a game that feels unique and new in world of recycled games and ideas. That being...
Golden bricks are an essential part of Lego Worlds, without them you can only go but so far. These bricks as mentioned earlier can be obtained by helping NPCs with a task. But that’s not the only way to obtain them, they can be found throughout worlds in chests, buried...
Even when you do find power-ups, what’s missing is the satisfying feeling that you’re actually, you know, powering up. Every crest or item pick-up serves to open up the world a bit more, but is rarely gratifying as in other games in the genre. It all boils down to basically...
Ride 2
Despite Ride 2 borrowing a few of its main mechanics and elements from the Forza series, it brings enough of its own to the table for it to shine as a racing title. Customization of controls and vehicles, as well as challenging, solid gameplay and striking visuals make it a fun racer for...
Torment: Tides of Numenera
The Final Word Torment: Tides of Numenera is what it is advertised to be, a return to form for CRPG fans everywhere. For those new to the genre though, Torment: Tides of Numenera may be a frustrating, confusing or boring experience. There are a number of great reasons to play this...
The 12 different heroes are divided into 4 classes, Vanguard, Heavy, Assassin, and Hybrid (4 for each faction, 1 of each of the 4 classes). The Vanguard class, has a strong defense and mediocre attack. Heavies fall in with large amounts of damage output and great defense. Assassin’s my personal...
Divide
Divide also has a problem with stuttering when loading into a new area. Anytime it needs to load the game just sort of freezes for a few seconds and then stutters back to normal. This wouldn’t be all that annoying if the game didn’t need to do it so often,...
Speaking of the Dredd Star, I feel that is kind of the perfect example of the other problem I had, especially starting out, this game feels derivative as hell. Mechanics and design wise it seems very much like a game that has taken parts of various other 4x games and...
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is the first third party title to be a part of Xbox’s Play Anywhere program, allowing the game and saves to be playable on both PC and Xbox interchangeably. Previously there have been more than a few hiccups with this program, but Resident Evil 7 runs...

Lara Croft GO
The PS4 version of Lara Croft Go comes packed with the new “Mirror of Spirits” expansion. Developed by indie studio Ko-op, “Mirror of Spirits” is set in the Croft Manor and comes with new mechanics and puzzles. The most interesting hook required me to control Lara and her doppelganger that...
