This review is based on a Nintendo Switch code provided by the publisher. Shovel Knight: King of Cards is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS. It is free for anyone who owns the core Shovel Knight game on...
As a story of family, specifically one of two brothers out to fend for themselves in a world that's out to get them, Life is Strange 2 is outstanding. It's a story that's helped greatly by some powerful performances by the game's voice cast, able to give weight to some...
Overall, Concrete Genie feels like a satisfying story, even if it does clock in at only four or five hours for the main story. For a value-priced game, that still feels rather short. However, between all of the pages that Ash can grab to add to his sketchbook, there are...
And maybe that polish will still come. Maybe the glitches will get fixed down the line, maybe the game will get that fresh burst of variety in its missions and enemy types that it needs, maybe it'll get a fresh set of environments. But at this time, The Blackout Club...
Rad
There's also so much to explore, in terms of the sheer number of mutations and hundreds of mutation combinations out there. I do wish there was a way to fudge the odds towards certain builds, but then that would defeat some of the game's appeal. Besides that, the exomutations are...
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 retains much of the formula that made the original games the best of their genre. It has a massive roster of comic book favorites, a slew of recognizable locations, some well-designed boss battles, and an intricately crafted storyline that touches upon every cornerstone of the Marvel...

Unfortunately, those looking for a deeper, more immersive baseball experience can do so much better than R.B.I. Baseball 19. And those hoping that this series can eventually get to the Major League level may not want to hold their breath. After six years, it feels like this series is what...
Anthem
My biggest takeaway from Anthem is that it's yet another heavily-hyped game with a lot of promise that has a good chance of being awesome in its second year. Anthem's teases for the future, including the one that comes after defeating The Monitor, do look enticing. But I'm not looking...
I entered Kingdom Hearts III with a sense of cautious optimism. With the game under development for so long and with delays coming year after year, there was sense that Square Enix ultimately wouldn't be able to live up to the years of hype. After all, Kingdom Hearts II wans't...
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an easy recommendation based on how easy it is to pick up and play. It's among the simplest platform fighters out there and there's something cathartic about being able to throw down against some of gaming's most iconic characters. It's also easy to recommend based...
