Overall, then, FIFA 17 is a success. Long-term fans will still immediately get stuck in with multiplayer behemoth Ultimate Team, which is as addictive as ever, but the title also gives players a lot more variety beyond that. The Journey is a fun, light-hearted diversion to keep players occupied, while...
That isn't to say that World of Final Fantasy isn't worth the time. World of Final Fantasy is a remarkable blend of old-school JRPG mannerisms and innovative, mold-shattering gameplay elements that challenge what a Final Fantasy game is "supposed" to look like. Later this year, Final Fantasy 15 might challenge the genre once more, with the might...
Gears of War 4 is a worthy successor to the trilogy that came before it. The story features a familiar face or two, but remains focused on the new line of characters. The online component adds new and altered multiplayer modes, but keeps the gameplay locked into what made the originals...
Dragon Quest Builders demonstrates that a JRPG can think outside of the box and successfully incorporate elements out of games like Minecraft, although the experience needs a little refinement before it becomes perfect. The game's story is likely to bore some, but its execution on its main premise will enthrall most,...
Underneath this surface veneer, players may feel a little disappointed that there isn't more depth, but there is plenty here that gamers will enjoy. Halycon 6: Starbase Commander is a quick and cheerful, if not particularly deep, tactical game with solid RPG elements. Sci-fi lovers will most likely eat it up,...
Hue
That said, Hue is a real blast while it lasts. It's the kind of game that never strays far from the memory, and there's a comfort to be found among the perplexing rooms of the title even after the puzzles have been solved for the first time. Hue is one of...
ReCore
Despite its imperfections, this is far from a bad game. It's not for everyone, but there are certainly players out there who will eat it up. Hitting at this crucial point of the video game calendar, it's difficult to definitively state that ReCore deserves to be played over other big...
NHL 17
NHL 17 isn't leaps and bounds better than last year's NHL 16, but it's evident upon even a glance that EA Sports has been listening to its fan base. The end result of this leaves glimmers of unrealized potential, but the realization that this is the best installment that the...
Nonetheless, those after a light bite of RTS/RPG gameplay with a positive attitude will find a lot of fun with Champions of Anteria. It is unlikely to blow any players away, and fans of The Settlers will find little to keep them occupied, but there’s a nice little game here....
It's important to keep in mind the price point for this petite adventure ($9.99 USD) makes it an ever-enticing opportunity for gamers to explore the world B.U.D. finds himself on for those looking to kill some time and take in a world so lovingly pieced together by the studio Ubisoft...
Challenging players through gameplay doesn't seem to be what Spearhead Games is interested in, however. It's hard to find a game released this year that is so deft at telling a story while giving players so many looking glasses through which to view it, and for a game that's true ending...
Still, these drawbacks feel like nit-picking in a game that set out to revitalize the traditional JRPG and wholeheartedly succeeded. I Am Setsuna might not be the most innovative or technologically demanding game released this year - or even in the past five - but it is one of the most...
