At the end of the day, LittleBigPlanet 3 is a proof of concept more than anything else. The game shows that the power of the PS4 can deliver stunning levels and that these new characters can keep the formula fresh. We just will have to wait until a fourth game...
After nearly a dozen releases, the LEGO franchise has found a concept and a set-up that work well, even if it doesn't stretch the limits of gameplay ingenuity. It is for that reason that LEGO Batman 3 serves as a solid entry in the library, but not an exceptional one....
Again, it's worth highlighting that those who were looking for Call of Duty to be more like its competitors or to completely change its identity will find no such drastic changes here. Rather, Sledgehammer Games has taken a near future setting and used that to bolster combat, mode selection, and...
The only real drawback to the game is that its missions struggle to match the quality of the writing and the gunplay. There's great packaging, sure, but it gets to the point where shooting enemies while grinding on rails becomes a bit tired. Even so, this is a case where...
Alien: Isolation is not the game fans had hoped it to be, but it's likely the closest to an authentic recreation of the movies that they'll get for now. The sense of tension, the atmosphere, and that ever-present xenomorph are some genuine strengths, but the latter's inconsistent AI and random...
Ultimately, recommending FIFA 15 comes down to where gamers stand with the series. Those who skipped last year's game in the hopes that this would be the must-have next-gen experience will be dooly rewarded with a better looking and better playing game. Similarly, any fans who have fallen off the...
Valiant Hearts is confident in its direction and thoughtful in its design. As a puzzle-focused, story-driven experience it isn't going to be for everyone, but those who relish the days of LucasArts' point-and-click adventures will certainly find a lot to enjoy here — doubly so if you are a history...
With a weak main character leading the charge and some mind-numbingly dull mechanics, Murdered: Soul Suspect has little going for it in the way of exciting gameplay. The story is serviceable, and its overarching mystery is fun to see manifest into something unexpected, but the nuts and bolts are neither...
With all that being said, Trials Fusion is still a successful culmination of the lessons learned from all prior releases, and as a result it is the most refined entry in the franchise thus far, even if it's not the best. It will likely disappoint those gamers who were hoping...
That being said, what Coffee Stain Studios has managed to pull out of the concept is an impressive feat in and of itself. In a way, Goat Simulator calls to mind the other big "Simulator" game, Surgeon Simulator 2013, in that it doesn't try to take players money and run....
Burial at Sea: Episode 2 is a perfect send-off for a franchise that defined a generation of console shooters. It isn't without its faults, but the new stealth gameplay is a welcome re-purposing of the tried and true BioShock mechanics. More importantly, Episode 2 is a marvel of storytelling: a...
It would have been nice to see an online mode for those gamers who can't corral a group at the drop of a hat, but, at the same time, the idea of hopping online runs opposite the game's main goal of delivering the instant satisfaction, or crushing defeat, that comes...
