Overall, Code Vein offers an experience that's a bit too similar to the FromSoftware games that established the genre. Its combat doesn't stray far from other Soulslike games but with features such as the Blood Code system, it does offer some variety that could lead to wanting to complete multiple...
FIFA 20
Obviously, the game is playable. Some people are going to like it more. I've said this and I want to make it clear. However, the gameplay in FIFA does not feel like a simulation of actual soccer. It feels like some weird mix of magically perfect passes and shots and...
WRC 8
If you like tough-as-nails games that reward your effort with a feeling of improvement, then WRC 8 is not going to let you down. The high-quality courses are fun to drive on, and learning to navigate them more efficiently is a deeply satisfying experience. However, if you are someone who...
With all of that said, I think a lot of your personal enjoyment with River City Girls comes down to how you feel about beat 'em ups. This is a good one of those, but if it's not your genre, I'm not sure if it's worth recommending. On the other...
Blair Witch
All in all, though, Blair Witch is still an awfully good game. Its unique story about guilt and PTSD, its flexible gameplay, and its inventive approach at horror all make it worthy of your attention. It is also the best Blair Witch-related thing to happen in 20 years, so if...
As I mentioned above, the game isn't hard. You don't need twitch reflexes or a firm grasp on how to use an analog stick. It feels a lot like a Lego game in that regard. All you need to enjoy Knights and Bikes is a sense of adventure and a...
My most confident recommendation of Ancestors goes to casual gamers. Despite the game's apparent commitment to realistic survival mechanics, it doesn’t ask you to raise your nerd levels to any great heights. It isn’t weighed down by lore, for instance, nor do you need to read a Wiki to figure...
Rad
For those that love roguelikes or for those that have been looking to give the genre a try, you can't go wrong with RAD and experiencing yet another imaginative title from Double Fine.
For me, I enjoyed my overall experience. There are still characters I haven't met, and I want to get back in and try to find them. I wasn't particularly enthralled by the murder mystery, but I do want to know what happens to Janet from the future. Night Call is,...
Blazing Chrome is a top-of-the-line appetizer to what could be a masterpiece of a five-course meal. I really hope this game does well because I cannot wait to see what JoyMasher does for their follow-up. If they can build on the rock-solid foundation they've created here, they might produce something...
Shadowbringers has set quite a standard in quality of content delivered and how Yoshi P and his team respond positively to community feedback for further updates. While there are some flaws to be addressed still, many of these are due to how ambitious in nature Shadowbringers is in every category....
Pathologic 2 is a flawed theoretical masterpiece. I give all the credit to Ice-Pick Lodge for having the ambition to develop one of the most intriguing games I've ever played. I also am in awe of their courage to stick to their artistic vision even with the knowledge that their...
