Back 4 Blood is a great multiplayer shooter for the masses that ultimately neglects its single-player crowd. Playing through the campaign with friends or a legit human team can make a big difference when engaging with this title. It’s best to stick with multiplayer for this title since it’s not solo-friendly. But with literally everything else that comes to mind (from Swarm to the cards and online matchmaking), it’s essential to recognize this game as a damn good time. The bugs are few and far in-between; they definitely won’t get in the way of having a good time – unless you’re playing the campaign solo, which I do not recommend for it is a bore. But with the gore, characters, mutated Ridden, weapons, and teamwork, Back 4 Blood packs plenty of punches and even more bullets.
Verdict: There are many words that I can use to describe Neversong, and I believe memorable might be the most fitting one. With its gorgeous musical score, slick side-scrolling action, evocative and spooky writing, mystifying art style, and amusing puzzles, I can’t seem to wipe away the images the title has etched into my memory. For such a short game, I was quick to develop an interest in its design and ultimate delivery. I only hope that Thomas Brush comes up with more intriguing concepts to further explore into, especially with ones that deal with mental instabilities and overcoming them that can be told within a single game.
For fans of pure mech action, there's enjoyment to be found in MechWarrior 5, but by and large, this is a game with a lot of unresolved issues that ultimately hold it back from being anything more than passingly fun.
