A DLC that as is, is up there with House of Wolves as the worst Destiny add-on to date. It’s a stop-gap solution meant to spackle some of the game’s cracks, and the real coat of paint hasn’t quite come yet. Destiny 2 is still a fantastic shooter at heart, Bungie just hasn’t...
Battlerite
I was pleasantly surprised by Battlerite in this crowded sea of arena/MOBA games, but once I learned that Stunlock Studios was at the helm it all made sense. This genre is in its DNA, and I hope this one catches on for a while as more than just an alternative to some...
Still, there’s something whimsical and endearing that drives Battle Chef Brigade forward. Across seven-to-ten hours, Mina and her cooking companions grow on you. Charming characters and a unique blend of gameplay systems create for an alluring little game that’s simple fun throughout.
Monster of the Deep: Final Fantasy XV is a chill-ass game that’s meant to lure in a very specific type of player. Seeing random wildlife from Eos and interacting with the cast was fun, and I feel like the tension of seeing everything in first-person elevates the sometimes rote act...
Despite it’s many, many flaws, School Girl/Zombie Hunter was a solid, camp-drenched romp, and it left me craving more. It may be a bit pricey for a budget title, but I found myself smiling constantly throughout the experience. It’s all so obscenely trashy and tongue-in-cheek that it’s hard not to...
Are these practices enough to sour the rest of the game? That’ll be up to you and your tolerance level. As much as I loathe this implementation of loot boxes, I still keep playing Battlefront II and I will probably continue to do so on and off. I mean, I...
All of that being said, Sphinx is a fun but simple game and it’s nice to see it get another chance all of these years later. Fans of Zelda-like action platformers can find a fun distraction in this Egyptian adventure. Who knows, maybe THQ Nordic is eying the Sphinx sequel...
.hack//G.U. Last Recode‘s intended audience is almost certainly established fans. It’s a solid remaster that looks great and runs smoothly. But it’s still a dated JRPG that dominates dozens of hours with sub-par combat and repetitive beats. If you have never experienced The World, it’s unlikely that Last Recode will...
The latest marriage of LEGO and Marvel is a mixed but promising step-up. Its star-studded story, inventive hub-world and new presentation style all add much-needed freshness to a stale format. However, technical issues, clumsy controls and overwhelming déjà vu remain. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 still has the power to...
Once the servers for this game inevitably go offline, with no way to obtain loot boxes, earn speed cards or trade tokens, I can’t help but wonder if the casual consumer would genuinely ever have the patience to fully complete this game. Need for Speed Payback is another result of...
The Snipperclips DLC makes an already sweet game even sweeter. Most of the new levels slot perfectly into the existing package, bringing fresh ideas that feel right at home without covering too much of the same ground as before. If you’re picking up the all-in Snipperclips Plus bundle, it can...
Sonic Forces
While I see potential in Sonic Forces, the execution just isn’t there, especially with the Switch edition. In the future I really hope Sega reinvents the wheel, taking a more Mario Odyssey adventure approach. The whole level-based 3D “thing” hasn’t worked out so frequently that it’s worth a shot.
