Mars: War Logs is the kind of experience one can only call serviceable. It exists, it does what it does, and it performs its job suitably. It doesn’t do anything terrible, but it never once goes above a basic standard of acceptability. It’s very clear that it wants to ape the...
Its core greatness cannot be stopped, No matter how much the rate of frames dropped.Though not abundant, extras are nice, I’d say it is worth the asking price. So says Mr. Stewart!
Anodyne
Point is, Anodyne’s weaknesses would’ve been greatly justified by a solid narrative. Instead, we’re left with a semi-decent dungeon crawler featuring some rather attractive sprite art and great soundtrack. So while Anodyne’s minimalistic riff on Zelda is definitely unique enough to warrant a purchase, it unfortunately never comes close to...
As critical as I may be, however, I’d rather have Blood Dragon exist as it does than not exist at all. A game this delightfully stupid can only make the world a better place, and I sincerely hope this isn’t the last we see of Rex Colt.
Don't Starve
The feeling of accomplishment when you manage to fend off countless cruel beasties, survive unrelenting foul weather, and fill your belly is potent. Mastering the wilderness is a difficult road, but from it comes a sense of empowerment. Of course, you could still lose it all in an instant. Such...
Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine truly is a game for anyone and everyone. It is simple enough to pick up and immediately understand how things work, while at the same time offers the complexity to have multiple players spend a few minutes sitting still, devising a self-titled “Best Plan Ever”...
Is Dead Island Riptide a fun game? At times, yes. In terms of raw combat and power fantasy, it’s just as good as Dead Island … and it’s just as bad at the same time. The bottom line is that there’s no excuse for it not being superior. Being “just as good”...
Going into Injustice, I worried that as much as I enjoyed the game that I would wish it was just a Mortal Kombat game instead. My greatest fear was unfounded. As much as I enjoyed the game’s outlandish story, intense combat, and various modes, I can only imagine how much...
I didn’t expect the game to grip me in the way it did, and I certainly couldn’t have predicted how excited I would become at the prospect of getting people to their jobs in time. Cities in Motion 2 takes a mundane and, frankly, boring subject matter, and makes it...
In many ways, Tekken Card Tournament is a shame, because it’s actually a decent, simple little card game. If someone laid a real-life starter deck in front of me, I’d actually play it for an extended period of time, but as it stands, it’s not worth slogging through the mictrotransaction...
With a bit more pizazz Toki Tori 2 would have been one of the best games on the Wii U eShop, but as it stands, just know you should go in with an open mind.
But as long as you’re willing to give it a chance, you’ll reap the rewards of a fairly deep, interesting game that was built with a lot of heart. I can’t wait to see how Behemoth follows this up, and I hope it doesn’t take five years to do it.
