Gravel is a game that confidently flaunts its personality. It’s consistent in this and I can’t fault it for that. But its gameplay and track design feel uninspiring, making the entire experience redundant and shallow. The gameplay and structure of the career mode don’t compliment Gravel’s personality in any meaningful...
Sprint Vector
The few gameplay annoyances, exacerbated if you’re not playing under optimal PSVR conditions, is one of the drawbacks to Sprint Vector as a package. Even considering the learning curve — not insurmountable but not something novice virtual reality users will grok immediately — you’ll see everything that there is to...
Shadow of the Colossus
The connection I feel to a game is extremely important in how much I enjoy it. Shadow does a great job of making me care about the characters even though I start out knowing little about them. I got pretty attached to Wander and Agro, especially with how little else...
For all of its faults, I would still recommend this game for fans of the series. There’s something whimsical about this game that reminds me of why I love this series. Dynasty Warriors 9 has all the series’ flavoring that makes it fun. The corny dialogue and bravado speeches give...
InnerSpace doesn’t do well with direction, but I think that’s the point. You’re meant to fly through the levels without thinking if what you’re doing is right or wrong. There’s no up or down in the traditional sense. The levels are designed like an inverted sphere where gravity pulls outwards...
SpellForce 3
It turns out that with correct expectations and preparations Spellforce 3 is a decently fun game. However it never really feels like one cohesive experience. There are definitely times where it flows together, when I gathered my nameless troops and my heroes into one hoard and rallied at the enemies....
Chris gave props to Daughter in the interview for writing and composing all-new music for Before the Storm, and their performance in the final sequence of the episode made me extremely emotional. I’m sure the nods to the original Life is Strange will make OG fans even more so. Don’t...
The game follows En, well voiced by Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones), a woman traveling in space with her A.I. partner, London. After the pair reaches the Palace, a vast and seemingly limitless structure, En sets out to use its own technology to bring back another life. ECHO’s story is...
Archangel
The Final Word Archangel is not so much a bad game as it is an extremely average one. Combat’s fun for a time, but simple and lacking in variety. The story is present and not bad, but again, nothing about it is particularly riveting. Visuals seem a bit outdated and plain,...
Elex
This is not to say Elex doesn’t have its redeeming qualities. There’s certainly a lot of content to blow through if you’re feeling like a good ‘shoot stuff and explore’ simulator. The combat is decent, due to the wide array of genres you get to pick up guns, magic spells,...
