The EscapistLatest Reviews
Conway: Disappearance at Dahlia View is an enjoyable adventure game. It may not innovate and its controls need work, but it’s a high-quality interactive mystery that I’d recommend to fans of the genre. The game is out now for $29.99 on PC with a release on all consoles planned for...
I’ve come away from Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl impressed by what it has to offer, yet weary of all the things it lacks, namely a reverence for the license it’s using to push its hardcore fighting tech. As an initial attempt though, it’s promising, and Ludosity has already stated it plans...
Alan Wake Remastered
Alan Wake Remastered hits the mark as a remaster. It’s a tangible improvement in visual fidelity and performance that interested first-time players should be directed to, but I wouldn’t recommend veterans dive back in, as they’ve likely seen all it has to offer. Alan Wake Remastered is out today for...
Hot Wheels Unleashed
The game is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The attention to detail is astounding: cars with movable pieces bounce around realistically, tint on windows shows scratches at the end of a race, and the light reflecting off of cars and tracks might be the best I’ve seen yet this generation. There’s a sense...
Aragami 2
Aragami 2 is a third-person stealth action game from Lince Works where you take control of the titular Aragami warrior, a soulless ninja summoned from the shadows, to fulfill your master’s contract. As an Aragami who has recently and mysteriously been freed from their obligations, you’re found by a hidden...
I’m left to wonder if the VR perspective Chronos was originally designed for somehow changes the feel of combat. The toolset is strong but just doesn’t satisfy when put up against any level of challenge. The premise of the world and its history make a great impression, but the later...
Genshin Impact
The similarities in style and mechanics to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are readily apparent. MiHoYo used that incredible game as a base upon which to build its own, and it absolutely works. It’s created both a fantastic single-player RPG and live-service co-op game that just happens...
Art of Rally
Art of Rally doesn’t make it self as accessible as its art style might initially suggest; its silly opening moments and free-roam mode full of floating doodads hide a hardcore rally racing sim beneath. If you don’t have a love for the feel of driving it may not be for...
You can make the argument that, if Skyrim can relaunch about a dozen times since 2012, then Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning — which is also a very good game — deserves to get away with it too. But when they don’t even bother to update the title in the opening...
Battletoads
Ultimately, Battletoads is a good time. It somehow emerges from its mish-mash of basic arcade genres as a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Despite the glaring omission of online play and a few rough edges, new and returning fans should be pleased.
Helheim Hassle
Helheim Hassle is a phenomenal adventure game and a creative puzzle platformer. The 10-hour main story is worth an additional playthrough just to see what the writers came up with when you try to skip dialog. Fans of the genre should jump on this, and I’ll be eagerly awaiting more....
Carrion
Carrion gave me a fantastic power fantasy that I didn’t know I wanted. It makes great use of the Metroidvania archetype and fits its reverse horror movie plot into the most enjoyable six hours I’ve ever had the guilty pleasure of experiencing. The game is available now for $19.99 on...
