The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a huge step up from its predecessor, mostly because it manages to tell a more compelling and personal tale. At the same time, that intimate feel is juxtaposed against a gigantic, sprawling open-world adventure that may hit some snags along the way but still comes...
The turn-based stealth gameplay is empowering, but fraught and fleeting each time you dive deeper into one of the world’s least architecturally sensible corporate buildings, rooms budding off rooms, some empty, some dangerous, all necessary. It’s a fight to stay equally matched with your enemies and make it to the...
All in all, Lost Orbit is a winner. At about two to three hours to get through its campaign, it doesn’t overstay its welcome, but it can definitely last longer for those who want to go for all the platinum medals. It is only ever as easy or as hard...
Maybe it’s just me, but the videogame industry parody theme that the Neptunia series is going for fits with a faster-paced environment — especially when a better developer is involved. As long as you can deal with a little skin and a silly plotline, Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed is a fun...
While Tropico 5 isn’t the game-of-the-year masterpiece of a generation, it’s a more-than serviceable sim and strategy title that can satisfy a grossly under-served genre within the console community. If you love SimCity and Civilization and are dying for something similar on your PS4, then there really is no reason...
Even the smallest accomplishments feel like massive victories, and once you experience that euphoria, you won’t want to quit. Watch your ambition soar.
Wolfenstein: The Old Blood operates just like an old school PC expansion should, and if you liked New Order, this is a no-brainer. In fact, due to the pulp feel of the second half I even slightly prefer it to the original, and the two interconnected plots are incredibly easy...
Crypt of the NecroDancer accomplishes what few games even attempt to do. It merges together two completely different genres: rhythm and roguelike. The frustrations of both come as part of the package, but some intelligent design decisions help to alleviate the issue. For those looking for the next gaming obsession after...
As a hypothetical free PlayStation Plus title, The Weaponographist would have some room to flourish as a mindless hack and slash game with a poorly implemented, but nonetheless existent, reward loop. But as it exists right now in its sole PC incarnation, there are many more titles worthy of your time...
Admittedly, Project CARS isn’t for everyone. In fact, it isn’t for most people. It’s niche, and it’s for those who take their racing games seriously. It does most of what it sets out to do, and it does that very well. However, the broad appeal is lacking, as the long...
Though there’s nothing explicitly wrong with it, Omega Quintet feels far too much like a “by-the-numbers” Compile Heart title to do justice to the studio’s first current-gen effort. Its narrative and aesthetic “fluff” ultimately fail to support its dense and otherwise engrossing mechanical heart. For a game about a bunch of...
Hyperdimension Neptunia fans may well enjoy this one, but I can’t count myself among them. The series has an alluring premise, but it just doesn’t push the idea far enough for me. The cloying characters and banal story are just so incredibly vapid, and the respectable strategic gameplay just isn’t...
