I could spend hours upon hours talking about God of War Ragnarok, but at the end of the day, the only thing that should matter to you is if it’s any good — and it is. It’s better than good; it’s a downright masterpiece. I know that word gets thrown...
Dragon Ball: The Breakers is certainly an interesting concept for a Dragon Ball game, if not a great one. The idea of being hunted down by these villains that can literally blow up the entire planet may seem silly, but it’s nothing new to fans who have watched the show....
The combat of Valkyrie Elysium certainly makes it worthwhile to play at one point, but if you’re looking for a game that feels entirely there, well this probably isn’t it. There’s fun to be had with the gameplay, but the story, the lack of location and enemy variety, and dated...
Deathloop
Honestly, I just can’t recommend Deathloop enough to all you Xbox Series owners out there. It’s a fantastic game, that leans heavily into the identity crafted by Arkane Studio when they released Dishonored nearly a decade ago. It’s clever, fun, witty, and pure chaos at its best, what’s to hate...
So, if you ask me if I think it’s worth it, here’s what I’ll say: If you’re a new player, most definitely. If not, just wait. No one’s rushing you to go out and buy this one, and I think it’s clear that the target audience is geared towards bringing...
You know, if it weren’t for all the technical issues I probably would have enjoyed Saints Row a lot more. The gameplay, though outdated and not really moving the needle for the series, is still pure fun, especially when I did get co-op to work. The story could have used...
For a studio that has spent the better part of the decade making games that can mostly be categorized as 2D experiences, their first venture into the full 3D realm of gaming was certainly a risky one. However, risks are why we love the video game industry. It allows people...
You would think that being on the fifth mainline title (with four Dead Army spinoffs) that the series would have grown tiring, yet here I am, still impressed and still having fun. It’s core remain unchanged, sure, but the saying of, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” holds very...
In Nightmare
In Nightmare may provide a decent plot line with enjoyable, heartfelt moments, but outside of that, it really is a hard game to recommend to anyone. The technical issues alone are enough to say wait until an update comes out to address it, but even so, the gameplay, while does...
Tango Gameworks manages to embalm it’s player in a beautiful and enticing world that is known as Ghostwire: Tokyo. There is a sense of the unknown that shrouds this new, and interesting universe, and while I may have some issues, ultimately I believe the studio has laid out a solid...
If you’re a fan of the WWE 2K franchise, then without a question you’ll be happy with what WWE 2K22 has to offer. It feels like a true return to form, and although that suggests it isn’t an evolution of some sort, it certainly has enough to shake up the...
Shadow Warrior 3 represents a true return to the series roots, rekindling the very reason why many loved the first as well as the classic titles it inspires from. There are plenty of small and big improvements, and while I am disappointed by the fact that I won’t be able...
