There is a saying for long running series fans like to use: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. This doesn’t really apply to Madden NFL, as there is always room for improvement. Unfortunately, EA Tiburon doesn’t think that because not only did they do nothing to advance Madden NFL, they removed...
Mordhau
Mordhau was a bit of a surprise for me, not that I didn’t know about the game before release (I had a friend who was obsessed with it), but because I initially wrote it off as “just another medieval hack ‘n’ slash game.” Well, at its core it’s still a...
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is in a strange spot as far as remasters go. Typically a remaster gets green lit because it was a beloved game and fans want a newer version. Or it’s a good way to re-introduce a series to gauge IP interest or to help create additional...
There aren’t many developers that I have full faith in. Developers who I don’t need to worry about if the product is going to be of good quality and something I’ll enjoy. FromSoftware has yet to fail me, but I will admit my faith was a bit shaken with the...

Ashen
Souls-like games have been a dime a dozen lately, some mimicking the style better than others: The Surge and Nioh are great examples of the difference. Dark Souls is one of my favorite franchises, and while I have still enjoyed the spin offs it has inspired, none have perfectly mimicked the gameplay like Ashen has. It takes a...
Earth Defense Force 5 did not impress me in the slightest when I first started it. Right off the bat the menu system is nothing special and the character selector gave me a glimpse of the borderline PlayStation 2 levels of graphics. See, I have never played an Earth Defense Force...
I have been a big fan of Hitman since Hitman 2: Silent Assassin in 2002 and while the series has had some highs and lows, they have always been enjoyable to me. I absolutely love stealth games and Hitman is the ultimate stealth game. I love the idea of being able to hide in...
