So, remember when I said I started Gaiden after finishing and instantly noticed how much better I liked it? It's not just the combat. I can reluctantly forgive no longer being able to gift a cabaret club hostess a cold teriyaki burger fished out of my back pocket, but even...
Avowed
Avowed is not the Obsidian fantasy RPG I wanted, but the decently fun spell-slinging parkour FPS I didn't expect.
At times dull, tedious, disappointing, and unfocused, Rebirth is still an exuberant, earnest and singularly exciting RPG adventure.
A largely uninteresting original story and an otherwise bloated word count aside, Dynasty Warriors Origins is a joyous balancing act of tension and spectacle that's completely reignited my interest in the series.
Lovely presentation and quirky emergent elements make this traditional roguelike a real charmer, but feeling at the mercy of fate makes the repetition wear thin a little too quickly.
The Thing: Remastered
Nightdive have done a great job preserving and uplifting The Thing into a crisp and playable modern offering. It’s still a fascinating game, but maybe not quite interesting enough to be worth revisiting.
Consistently building on a simple set of rules with progressively inventive twists, this detective puzzle game offers up tough but fair head scratchers you’ll feel like a genius for solving.
God of War Ragnarök
A meandering plot filled with odd tonal choices, but elevated by incredible cinematography and animation. God Of War Ragnarok is a generous, gorgeous action adventure that’s hard to take seriously, but easy to get sucked in by.
Layered challenges, unhinged abilities, and generous tools to support wild experimentation combine with brilliant, laugh-out-loud funny writing. A tactics game that’s as welcoming to newcomers as it is rewarding for genre aficionados. What an absolute treat.
Conscript
Conscript's grimy, disturbing setting and gruelling combat are effective and poignant, and a sturdy and well-crafted survival horror skeleton keeps things compelling.
Once Human
Neither Once Human’s third-person combat or survival crafting are especially novel or exciting, made less so by reams of live service baggage and seemingly endless resources and collectables. But an idiosyncratic soul and great creature design keeps it from being uninteresting.
Anger Foot
Two-thirds exhilarating and ingenious, one third asinine and frustrating, Anger Foot feels played out by the time you’ve finished the first few stages. Through great level design, constant novelty, and mostly solid fundamentals, it remains intoxicating for another sixty of them.
