With attractive new graphics and sensible tweaks to the game's interaction interface, Day of the Tentacle Remastered is the definitive version of a classic. This is a title that can easily engross someone that's never played the original, with enough extra content to qualify as an instant purchase for longtime...
Overall, despite some minor flaws in the game's layout and presentation, Salt and Sanctuary is one of the early contenders for indie game of the year in a field that already has some stiff competition in titles like Firewatch. Ska Studios' loving send-up of From Software is the finest 2D action RPG that's...
Hitman: Episode 1 - Paris
Ultimately, however, while the episodic content and the odd Internet connectivity requirements are annoyances, they are only small blemishes on an otherwise fun and engaging game. Hitman Episode 1: Paris represents some of the finest open-ended stealth gameplay since Dishonored, and the incredible replay value of the episode makes up...
Overall, then, The Flame in the Flood delivers on the promise of its esteemed development team. The title may not be for everyone, particularly given the sometimes steep learning curve and reliance on random item drops, but the game generally works well, providing a challenging and tense gaming experience. Those...
Those looking for something new from a series that seems to surface every two years or so will get a game that feels genuinely fresh with Far Cry Primal. Even then, fans will be met with a very familiar formula established within its unique setting. Capturing enemy bases, lighting pyres (in lieu...
Much like Braid, The Witness is a game design triumph. It takes great ideas and runs with them, all the while delivering visuals and themes that are just as strong as the gameplay at its core. Many titles released this year will be hyped as 'must-play' experiences — but few will...

Having played several games in this style before, I was under the impression that a few well-positioned troops and my own shooting capabilities would be more than enough to repel the attack — unfortunately for Earth, I...
Crashlands
Crashlands may not be as in-depth as some players may want, but the game is an entertaining action RPG romp that uses crafting mechanics without becoming tiresome. What’s more, the game is a laugh riot, and the wonderful tone of the title easily makes up for any technical shortcomings. With...
Overall, however, Republique is a very solid game built around a strong initial premise. The title knows its limits and instead focuses on delivering a tightly-wound stealth game with an interesting story and mechanics. Those after more direct control may find the game frustrating, but Republique is a game that...
The real question is whether the game is best played on the Xbox One. Given that it's missing some content included in the Final Cut version released for the PC, that might not be the case, especially since personal preference might swing towards mouse and keyboard controls. However, the experience...
Overall, Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition shows that PC role-playing games can transfer over to the most recent console generation with relative ease. Although there are a few bumps here and there, with some awkward controls at times, the game's co-operative experience is easily enough to outweigh the negatives. This...
That said, Hard West is overall a strong addition to any turn-based strategy fan's library of games, particularly those looking to keep them occupied until more news surfaces on the upcoming X-COM sequel. Hard West may not reinvent the wheel, but it's a visually imposing title that brings tactical combat...
