I loved getting lost in Kyrat, despite its numerous and persistent dangers. There are times when the controls feel a little clumsy during combat, and it can be discouraging when you're attacked by a wandering bear just as you're settling into a sniper position. Although the stealth missions can be...

With a huge, breathtaking world, an epic story, and choices that leaves a significant mark on the world around you, Dragon Age: Inquisition embodies everything that makes the series so popular. There are times when the game could feel too big, and that there might be too much to do,...

Personally, I don't like having so much left to chance, but I can definitely see the appeal. There's tremendous satisfaction in making it through a floor that you've been stuck on for several playthroughs. Each success is like overcoming the impossible. It's also hard to get bored with a level...

A City Sleeps' high difficulty level is bound to limit the game's appeal to hardcore players. Although I wouldn't go so far as to say that the game is unbeatable, but there were times when I felt hopelessly stuck, and it's probably one of the longest "short" games I've ever...

There were numerous occasions, after being brutally killed again and again, that I had to step away and say, "Ok, that's enough." But the thing...

Endless Legend is a gorgeous game, with a unique take on 4X strategy, and a tremendous amount of potential. Its interface and diplomacy systems could use a bit of improvement, but the tactical combat and decision-based campaign help make up for it. The game can be slow going, and even...

Gauntlet is the perfect party game. It brings people together while tearing them apart. There's fast action that's easy to pick up for more casual players, and a decent selection of relics for players that want to make to experiment with ways to make their character an unstoppable loot grabbing...

While Wasteland 2 may have a heavy emphasis on exploration, but not so much on direction. When clearing out the Agricultural Center, players are given the vague goal of making their way outside, but must use a good deal of trial and error to finally get there. Afterwards, there's a...
