Overall, despite its shortcomings, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle is a colorful spectacle that both fans of the anime and future fans of the anime will want to pick up and experience, even if just to watch a man use only his upper body strength after hopping off his horse...
Ether One nails its puzzles, atmosphere, and sound (ambient and voice acting). It also nails its story — whether or not you decide to fully unravel its world and its mysteries — culminating in a, well, refreshing, smart finale that will stay on my mind for years to come.
All told, Super Time Force is a satisfying run-and-gun game made even better with a fun (and funny!) take on time travel. It’s as enjoyable to play as it is to look at. You’ll likely be able to burn through the game in a few hours if you’re not going...
Cloudbuilt is frustrating. It’s frustrating to play and frustrating to recommend. I like the style, I like the parkour mechanics overall, but there’s a lot of junk to contend with. The antagonistic design (minefields everywhere) is one thing, but the unforgiving checkpoints and limited lives lead to a lot...
Personally as an MMO player, I think I’m mostly going to be putting my time in the near future into Final Fantasy XIV and WildStar until that happens.
The humor doesn’t always work and the puzzle design is still rooted in the series’ 1990s adventure game roots, meaning it feels archaic in spots, but there are some welcome concessions to modern design with the flashlight and hint system. Tex Murphy might be alive in 2014 but he’ll need...
It’s not a long game by any means, requiring about fifteen hours or so depending on how much you decide to explore, but sometimes you just don’t need 40 or 50 hours to kick ass and take names. Sometimes you need a set of dull armor, Vulcan’s attitude, and a...
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 isn’t a complete disaster, and I can easily see fans of Spidey enjoying it at a deep discount. It’s just a shame that Beenox somehow got worse at making Spider-Man games over time, and that the powers that be insist on rushing them as movie tie-ins. Somehow, someway...
Overall I felt as if Daylight was made as a jump-scare machine with a loosely tacked-on plot. I never felt invested in Sarah or cared much for the mysterious man rambling through her phone. In fact, I was more concerned with getting Miss Ghost off my back so she’d stop...
Child of Light
Child of Light will satiate pretty much everyone but the most hardcore of RPG fans, and even then, they’ll find plenty of enjoyment. There are a few minor issues here and there that hold it back from instant-classic status that could be enhanced in a sequel or future work, but regardless,...
When it comes right down to it, LEGO The Hobbit isn’t a terrible game, but it’s isn’t a terribly good one either. The LEGO formula may be finally getting a bit stagnant, and the new additions, while cool, may be too little, too late. If the final section had been...
Cold, Cold Heart feels like a legitimate addition to the Arkham Origins lore, and not just a cheap cash-in. It’s definitely a side story that’s too big to be shoved into the core game, even if it doesn’t really innovate in any meaningful way. While I wouldn’t go out of my...
