The Banner Saga is the series we need in this time of lackluster sequels, ho-hum prequels, and imitation games throughout. This is a tight trilogy with so few slow parts that I could barely tell I had sunk 13 hours into the third episode by the time I was finished...
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is one of my favorite games of all time. In fact, it’s hard not to say that it’s an objective improvement over the first game in almost all respects except for the conflict. Following a god-statue just doesn’t inspire me the way being hit in...
I’ve spent over 100 hours on FFXV, almost completing the game, and that doesn’t include the DLC that I haven’t touched. Clearly, I like this game. While the post-game content is lackluster at best, the dungeons and monotony create a Zen-like experience and rhythm that is addicting when it isn’t...
Victor Vran
Most of this review has been complimentary and lauded what Victor Vran does right. The only weakness — and it’s a biggie — is the lack of variability in the second half of the game. Haemimont Games were clearly onto something here, and I hope they can replicate this formula,...
Full Metal Furies is full of charm, life, expert design, and few missteps. The story won’t revolutionize the industry and the controls could be crisper, but the sheer quality in gameplay sets a higher bar not only for the genre, but for puzzle design. Period. Given Cellar Door Games’ work...
Hand of Fate 2
I love Defiant Development for Hand of Fate’s originality and personality. This review may not sound like it, but I’m a fan and look forward to future projects they work on. I’d be curious about a Hand of Fate 3, quite honestly. However, as a fan and a reviewer, I’m...
Yes, so, Divinity: Original Sin 2 was over a hundred hours of pure RPG bliss. Memorable from start to finish, I’m somehow unaware of where the time went. My Steam account could have reported half the time I actually spent, and I wouldn’t have questioned it for one second. Odd...
Pyre
I enjoyed my time with Pyre; I’m glad I played it. The world inspires thought and curiosity, and I’m left with something to mentally chew on for a while. I already miss my new friends. Due to the “check box” nature of getting to know characters and building relationships, I...
Battle Brothers knows what it is and doesn’t try to be more than it should be, and that makes it so much better than other titles that strive for an epic or storied feel. What’s accomplished here is a solid, honest package of thrills and strategic depth, though not oppressively...
I could go on for twice as long about how Torment was a thrilling, engrossing 55-hour excursion for me. After exhausting this world, I still ended the journey wondering what I could have done differently, and what outcomes might have resulted from an entirely different mindset. Unfortunately, Torment will likely...
Alone With You
If I weren’t reviewing Alone With You, I would not have finished it. This review reads pretty damning, and I feel bad for that. What the developer was trying to do here feels on the cusp of something grand. If different design decisions were made or the dialogue was fleshed...
Tyranny
I applaud Obsidian in trying to tackle this oftentimes avoided perspective, but not only in trying: succeeding. Tyranny is the only game I can think of that so artfully places the player in a position of evil authority with tact, demanding reflection at almost every turn. While lacking in the...
