Stadia and Robot Entertainment have a fantastic base here that really takes advantage of the platform, those glitches need to be fixed and the live service type elements need to follow through for Orcs Must Die! 3 to reach killer app status on Google Stadia. Even with its rough edges,...
INVERSE VIDEO GAME REVIEW ETHOS: When it comes to video games, Inverse values a few qualities that other sites may not. For instance, we care about hours over money. Many new AAA games have similar costs, which is why we value the experience of playing more than price comparisons. We...
If you can get past that one major flaw, there’s a lot for both Gears and strategy game fans to like with Gears Tactics. Genre diehards will enjoy the unique hero system and more fluid pace, while Gears fans will savor the cleverly translated gameplay mechanics and prequel story. While...
While saying something like “The Outer Worlds is out of this world” may be low-hanging fruit for a writer, it isn’t a false statement. This game rewards player choice and experimentation on a level I have not seen since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and it manages...
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is not a direct continuation of Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power in any major way, and that ultimately worked to the game's benefit. Now that the series has returned to its roots and found the spark that made the originals games great, one can...
As die-hard Contra fans have probably already picked up or sworn off Contra: Rogue Corps, the only people I could see this game being good for now are die-hard groups of twin-stick shooter fans who want to play online and aren't playing on Nintendo Switch. That's quite niche to say...
The Surge 2
Though those problems can make parts of this sequel annoying, The Surge 2 is still a fun improvement over the original that will win more people over with its tight and well-designed environments and combat. The Surge series remains the uncontested champion of sci-fi Soulslikes, and The Surge 2 establishes...
GreedFall
GreedFall is Spiders' best game yet, but that does not mean it is perfect. From a gameplay standpoint, players will not get anything out of this game that they can't get in a more polished state in the Dragon Age series or The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, making GreedFall...
Interesting genre mashups like this don't come along often, probably because they aren't always for everyone, but the only way the industry will find cool new genre mixes or avenues to explore is with unique titles like this. If this particular quirky mix of a cooperative shooter and Soulslike set...
Erica
Though Erica's illusion of choice may sully the experience on repeat playthroughs, the game still stands as the best FMV game available on consoles. Its high-end TV show production values and acting allow it to stand out in a genre muddied by low-budget attempts by game developers turned amateur filmmakers....
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for the Nintendo Switch serves up an original story tasking you to create your dream team of superheroes, including new additions The Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, Scarlet Witch, and more, as they face off against Thanos and The Black Order.
Even with these issues that weakened the game as it went on, Lapis x Labyrinth was still able to maintain an addicting grip on me. While some might point to the game's flashiness as being what drew me in again and again, I'd say it was the fun RPG gameplay...
