I had hoped to enjoy Resident Evil 7 for what it appeared to be: a strange, Western approach to the series. I didn’t expect it to hark so close to the series’ roots while managing to still bring some action and more intuitive controls. Production-wise, this is the best Capcom’s...
Killing Floor 2, like its predecessor, is something I’ll be returning to for a long time. It’s not often that I stick with a multiplayer game for any length of time, but this one has its hooks in me deep. At the end, yes, you’re fighting the same enemies with...
Watch Dogs 2
Oh, and Windows 10 decided to update when I finished this review the first time, deleting everything I did and making it so I had to rewrite this two hours before embargo. DedSec, is that you? 8.5 is a great score, please never touch my computer again.
Shadow Warrior 2 is in no way a bad game, and I found myself grinning through a lot of it. I’d groan at Wang begging to cut off a penis immediately afterwards, but some people will probably get a laugh out of that. Definite flaws and a laser focus on...
Although Deus Ex GO may feel too straightforward, it’s still in the top-tier of pick-up-and-play puzzle games. It may not feel thematically coherent to the standard previously set by Square Enix Montréal, but it’s still worth your time.
An abrupt ending that doesn’t have much of a climax and some moments of fist-clenching frustration keep Human: Fall Flat from the upper echelons of puzzle gaming, but it’s still something I plan on going back to with friends. Plus, it lets you draw on your character, leading to the butt...
Doom
I approached Doom with no small amount of dread. Would it be watered down? Would it be slow, or try to force a cheesy story down our throats (I mean, it still did, but in a perfectly dumb and fun way)? I had hoped this would be surprisingly good, but...
Despite some repetition and a handful of weird glitches, it’d be hard for me not to recommend Stories: The Path of Destinies. The “Goosebumps” kid in me was just too excited to have branching narratives from a developer that had fun with the concept instead of using it as another...
After finishing the too-long campaign, there’s an Ironbro mode (where each Bro only has one life) and a level editor to tinker with. It seems robust, but I didn’t spend much time with it. This all adds up to a decent amount of bro-time if you really want it, but...
This is a world worth exploring, and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more of it. Maybe that’ll be in the form of a huge patch that puts this broken machine back together, or a sequel that brings the best of Hard West to the forefront. What I’d really like...
Nintendo seemed hesitant to bring Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water overseas, and I’m sure it’ll be monitoring how it sells to gauge interest. Twelve-year-old me would be upset with this review, and he’d blame that asshole Zack Furniss for condemning the series to death with a damning review. He’d be...
Lara Croft GO is clearly the product of a love for what the Tomb Raider series used to mean. Your pistols are more of a tool than a weapon, and you certainly won’t be killing an island’s worth of men. A lovely visual style and a zen-inspiring score provide backdrops to...
