Mini Motorways is a game that I can just vibe with. I can barely say a bad word about it.
Twelve Minutes is a strong adventure game with a brilliant core conceit - and minor struggles with typical genre challenges can't hold it back too much.
Game Builder Garage seems to want to showcase just what it’s like to make a game, albeit in a simpler way. It’s sometimes challenging to the point of being headache-inducing. It is unrelentingly complicated. When it clicks, however, it’s fun, magical, and incredibly rewarding.
Taken alone, any one slice of the game - like a single house, the village itself, even the way combat handles - has its issues. But combined, it merges into something that’s still special - even if it isn’t quite as brilliant as Resident Evil 7 or 2 Remake. It’s...
Nier Replicant is ambitious, clever, and has an absolutely killer story. Back in 2010, I gave the original game 6/10 in view of its muddy visuals, poor performance, and a whole lot of backtracking. Two of these issues are comprehensively fixed in this comprehensive remaster. While the backtracking remains, it...
It’s clear that Respawn still has the chops to make a quality Medal of Honor game. There’s a lot of heart here, and an attention to detail that must be admired. With that said, it’s clear the studio had troubles accomplishing its goals in VR - and the result is...
Taken individually, Hitman 3 feels like great value, with plenty of variety and lots to do. When taken as a whole, the World of Assassination trilogy is hands-down one of the best and most complete-feeling trilogies in video game history. It’s a fitting finale for 47 - at least for...
When Cyberpunk's grim setting and mix of gameplay systems land, it is a powerfully impressive experience - sprawling, dense, clever, witty, and most importantly damn good fun. Other times, it has all the charm of a moody, edgy teenager.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild isn’t just one of the better entries in this storied series - it’s also one of the greatest games of all time. To this end, the mission of living up to its inspiration is perhaps impossible for Age of Calamity. It is...
Whatever angle you're coming from, it's fair to say that PGA Tour 2K21 will likely satisfy your golf game needs. If you're new to this sort of game, you'll be gently introduced by well-crafted tutorial mechanics and charmed by the quiet chill of it all. If you're a lapsed EA...
Developer Asobo Studio says Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is a ten-year project with many additions to come. That makes sense, as it's a brilliant base package with so very much to love that I can still see myself returning to for years. For me, the casual, it's a perfect low-stakes,...
That simplicity is overridden by originality and vigor, then - but I also know all too well that some fans of the older Paper Mario games will once again walk away a little disappointed. This is still undoubtedly no Thousand Year Door. Perhaps the next outing can bring back a...
