Game SkinnyLatest Reviews
Tembo has modern Sonic's spirit - and level design. The pairing doesn't work here either.
Her Story is unique, but that in and of itself is not worthy of praise. The allowance for differences in approach is what makes it special.
Lego Jurassic World is as expected: Legos, dinosaurs, and puzzles. But, the formula is too familiar and needs more chaos theory.
Splatoon offers little, and yet the melding of color, punk rock, and nostalgia create a winner.
Axiom Verge is familiar, homely, and far too simple, but those turn out to be its greatest qualities. This homage to 2D adventures is smartly and carefully done.
MLB 15: The Show's level of perfectionism is obsessive, making it a necessary pairing for baseball traditionalists.
Rack N Ruin is lost and confused in its own design, a helpless blending of top down adventures and retro shooters without any guidance to speak of.
Tradition is strong with Resident Evil Revelations 2 and probably too much so as this jumbled story wrecks an appreciable "made for TV" episodic form.
The Order:1886 is seemingly derivative, but underneath is a blend of media forms which celebrates both cinema and video games inside of an attractive shell.
Evolve
Evolve's premise is never capitalized on, although it's strong core is notably well done. However, appeal is low in long term appeal and high in gratuitous DLC.
Stunningly unique but ultimately messy, Apotheon is enthralling Greek mythology caught in the grips of unfriendly combat.
A throwback to the early West and early video games, with all of the nonsensical adventure it needs to be pleasing.
