Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, despite its issues, is still an improvement over the original Xenoverse, although minimally. It has its letdowns but long-term it will offer a better experience due to Bandai Namco’s promised year of post-release support, including three DLC packs, as well as the present gameplay improvements and...
Even with its flaws, I think many people will enjoy Earth’s Dawn, but I don’t expect it to be a hit or even a cult classic. If anything those starved for something similar to Odin’s Sphere or an RPG-style beat ’em-up might get some enjoyment out of it, while most...
WWE 2K17 is a poor simulation of the WWE product, often because it seems ashamed of pro wrestling. This is a television universe where Jon Stewart has interfered in back-to-back SummerSlams — you either get on board with the nonsense or you give the license to somebody else. Adding a...
I didn’t see myself playing through (and enjoying) Battlefield 1‘s campaign even just weeks prior to this assessment, but here we are. It somehow manages to be a good amalgam of the staple formula DICE has relied on for years, with a bit of anime (flashes of Metal Gear Solid V and flowing shonen...
There really isn’t anything positive I can say about this game, outside of a few choice spots of interesting art direction. The level design is dull, the platforming is simplistic, the graphics look a few generations old, the RPG elements are basic, the music is forgettable, the enemies are pushovers,...
You don’t really need Ashes of Ariandel unless you’ve squeezed every ounce out of Dark Souls III already or thrive on PVP. I think the concept of splitting up their resources took away from the sum of both parts, but there’s still plenty of challenges and surprises to warrant another bloody...
While I would argue that Rigs: Mechanized Combat League is by far the superior online multiplayer game for PlayStation VR, if its frantic in-mech motion is too much to handle or you’re otherwise more interested in an engaging cooperative experience, this fits the bill nicely. There are some glaring...
Even with a few uninspired stages, Skylanders Imaginators manages to nail the childlike whimsy of the beat-’em-up genre so many of us grew up with. It’s still a blast with friends, and even more-so now that you can share your creations and tweak them together. The series has shown signs of...
Pirate Pop Plus feels more like something you’d have found near the release of the Game Boy than something that should be asking for money in 2016 considering there are full-length Game Boy games with a plethora of content available on the eShop for less money, and tons of even cheaper...
I still get chills thinking about my time with Yomawari: Night Alone. Whether it’s a particularly scary moment that pops into my head or one of the many weird visuals that I just can’t get out of my mind, this is a game that’s going to stick with me for a...
Like the era it paints, Mafia III feels like a relic. It’s dated, has obvious flaws, and doesn’t hold up particularly well when compared to a lot of modern works. Most damning, it’s rarely in tune with itself, often contradicting itself in big ways. It’s tough to not feel like Lincoln...
There’s a lot of value here for the price, and even if you could buy each of these games separately for five bucks apiece, I’d still recommend picking up all of them. You’ll need to invite at least three friends over to get the most out of these games, but...
