The Surge 2
The Surge 2 makes some knowledgeable choices to help players deal with some of the more painful aspects of the genre while maintaining the vital tension that should seep through every moment of gameplay. It won’t pluck away at your emotional strings the way they expect the genre-leading Dark Souls...
Daemon X Machina
The Switch is having one hell of a year for games, and while Daemon X Machina doesn’t quite rival the likes of the recent Astral Chain or Fire Emblem: Three Houses, I do consider it to be a bit of jewel where I never expected to find one. I didn’t...
GreedFall
It feels like Spiders have worn a particular groove for years, where they produced serviceable games that were interesting. But they’re beset by issues. With GreedFall, a lot of those issues have been improved upon, but not removed, and there is still a blatant case of Double-A status to GreedFall....
I had such a fun time with it that I am hoping that this is the start of a series, and success will bring the budget that will allow a talented group of developers to truly shine, with no compromises made when it comes to executing their vision. If you...
That said, I do feel the need to point out that this is a game with Triple-A polish for a Double-A price. I do believe it is meant to be more of a compliment to the daring adventures of BJ, a new way to see and explore the world of...
Conan Unconquered
While it is certainly not perfect, it really is a lot of fun to play, and even if it doesn’t do anything ground breaking, it does what it does well enough to be worth your time, if you have been on the fence about the game. Conan Unconquered doesn’t set...
Anno 1800
All in all, I really did have a great time with Anno 1800. It is incredibly easy just to get lost in it for hours, and I know it is a game I will keep coming back to because I simply want to get better at it. Decision making feels...
Anthem
I guess the highest praise that I can give the game at the moment is that I still want to like it, and I hope it gets the time it needs to shine truly, but I have a hard time recommending it to people in its current state. Hopefully, in...
Metro Exodus
Overall, despite the presence of some minor glitches and bugs, things ran pretty well for me, but the stuttering and hitching issue was present enough for me to knock a point off the review score. I am completely open to revisiting the game with new drivers, or a new patch...
Mothergunship
The need to balance energy levels, uncertainty around income, and even the uncertainty around what parts you will have access to rob the game slightly of its potential fun for me. As it stands, there is almost certainly a notable inbuilt metagame for those who want to play through the...
Frostpunk
Frostpunk is a carefully balanced, tightly focused and deeply considered game. No sacrifices to its primary aim have been made, no areas of bloated design have been permitted. The focus is always on the idea of surviving, and the physical and emotional cost that this can have in a hard...
BattleTech
The only areas Battletech really seems to fall down are where it doesn’t fully explore the things it is trying to do. It is, in many ways, a difficult game, for people who enjoy difficult games. But when things go your way, it allows you to feel powerful, smart, and...
