As it stands, there is literally no reason to get Broken Eagle. It’s criminally short, you can’t enjoy it with a friend, there are no real benefits if your character is maxed out from already playing the core game, and it doesn’t add to the overarching lore in any meaningful...
OlliOlli
There’s a lot to love about OlliOlli. The game is in the sweetspot of “simple to control” and “just difficult enough” to keep you playing without tearing your hair out. The Daily Grind and Spots challenges will keep the score-centric crowd happy, and Career mode will have you blistering your...
Nidhogg is a perfect game wrapped in a not-so-perfect package. When playing locally against another human, it is the epitome of competition. Playing online is a mixed bag of lag, disconnects, and a weird chat system. Hopefully some of the bugs get ironed out over time, especially whatever stopped the tutorial...
All the convenient and nice additions in the world wouldn’t matter though if the core game wasn’t so damn brilliant, which it still is. Baldur’s Gate II lives up to its reputation as one of the all-time best RPGs, and if you’re looking for a no-fuss way to play it,...
In the end I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised with Max: The Curse of Brotherhood. It’s a game full of wonder and magical moments, that while light on actual narrative, still delivers a world that is hard to forget. The visuals are Pixar-esque charming and the combination of cerebral puzzles with...
World of Warplanes has a studio that prides itself on supporting its games long term, so I have no doubt that Wargaming will continue to improve upon the formula. In the meantime, it would be a good idea to give both Warplanes and War Thunder a try and see which one you...
Path of Exile is free (actually free), unique, and exciting, despite its often morose tone and themes. I don’t have much else to say except GO DOWNLOAD IT!
Taking all of that together, it is not obvious for whom Teslagrad was created. It requires a very particular set of interests and skills to fully enjoy. The incredible artwork and wordless storytelling style invite those who want to experience a unique narrative, but the difficult action gameplay and tedious...
If you wanted more Assassin’s Creed IV, Freedom Cry will do just nicely. Although it doesn’t offer as compelling a narrative or even close to as open of a world, it manages to capture the spirit of Black Flag in most of the right places. This is a much better effort than...
Samurai Gunn will no doubt have a more limited audience due to a lack of modes, but for those of you who appreciate a deep fighting game, you’ll get hours of competitive entertainment out of it. Every time I play it I feel like I’ve mastered a new piece of...
Doki-Doki Universe is a very odd, very cute, and very simple game. There isn’t a whole lot to it, so don’t go in expecting a deep and rewarding adventure title. So long as you don’t mind spending an afternoon helping a tiny snowman bond with his father, Doki-Doki will be more than...
For me, it’s a racing world I can get lost in. Again, it’s less about racing and more about driving; it’s less about spectacle and more about substance. It’s the driving authenticity, superior car handling and physics, wide variety of cars and races, and reverence for all things automotive that...
