BattleBlock Theater feels like it was designed for the child that still lives inside me. It’s juvenile, colourful, and silly. But more importantly, it achieves everything it set out to do, with a near masterful level of execution. The addictive multiplayer and excellent level creation tools are just the icing...
Stick it to the Man! is a game anyone can enjoy. With an accessible framework and fantastic writing throughout the whole experience, it is certainly a unique title that most people should not miss. The Wii U version of Stick it to the Man! comes highly recommended over all other...
Ultimately it pains me to say this, but Bound by Flame is B-Grade. I hate calling it that as it means people are going to immediately assume that by saying so I’m saying it’s inferior, but that’s not the case at all. The game is constrained by budget and underproduced...
Daylight is a nice idea. But it misses the point of what separates a truly great horror work from a generic mess of jump scares. Once again I argue that the less random the design of a horror work, the more potential it has.
Still, even if you don’t subscribe to that particular analogy; that Octodad is code for anyone a little different that needs to figure out how to act in mainstream society, there’s still a lot of fun to be had here. Even when the overall challenge of living a day in...
It really is a shame, because there are moments where it feels like things are or will soon start to click. Spider-Man can perch near the top of a tall building, look over the city and then swing down into the streets to help save the day. No other hero...
Once again, this is a game for the fans, and only the fans, but I think that there has been a genuine job here to do right by the fans. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is not a classic game by any means, but it’s leagues ahead of most...
The Ubisoft Montreal team shows that by taking chances and letting their imaginations run wild, they can create a unique, beautiful experience that works on several levels. Aurora’s own journey is a similar one as she learns by trying new things and taking some chances as she grows along the...
Dark Souls 2 offers glimpses of hope and illumination, but they always feel just out of reach. Scratching just below the surface to take on the challenges Dark Souls 2 has for you is where this game’s appeal lies. The game will not be for everyone, but for those willing...
2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil doesn’t necessarily reinvent the wheel. It does, however, bring new refinements on the pitch from the already excellent FIFA 14, and layers on a Brazilian vibe and mode structure that’s unique from the yearly FIFA releases. While many will likely opt to hold out for...
As new characters emerge near the end of this chapter, it appears that the storytelling is going to continue to grow even more bleak and grim. For a game drenched in neon colours and featuring new takes on childhood fables, this is an accomplishment in and of itself. Now that...
With a handful of interesting chances taken with the combat and core mechanics of Classmating, it is a shame that the combat itself becomes a grind. The systems all interact with one another nicely and help to create a fun JRPG experience, though the title should give away that for...
