Sea of Stars
So yeah, Sea of Stars is one of the greatest labors of love i've witnessed this year, and it makes me feel validated for all the time I've spent with this genre. I simply can't find any fault with it. Maybe there should have been a little more meaning in...
I don't dare to describe the events that set off these emotional detonations in my heart and mind—not before the game's even released, anyway. David Gaider has already earned my top spot among video game writers for his work on the first three Dragon Age games, and I daresay he's...
Baldur's Gate 3 is an excellent game and a worthy successor.
My partner and I loved co-operatively spelunking through the chutes and narrows of Disney Illusion Island. While the map might not have been the most helpful guide at our disposal, our journey across Pavonia, Astrono, Gizmopolis, and Monoth overall was nevertheless led by a breathless sense of wonder that the...
These are small complaints, however. The core of Frank and Drake is a self-reflective journey. It was an experience where I appreciated the mystery, I appreciated the lore but I appreciated the aesthetic and the themes even more. I relate to both Frank and Drake in different ways, and I...
Greyhill Incident
I can't recommend Greyhill Incident. It's just not a very good game. It has some great ideas and I'd love to see the 50s horror-style alien invasion done justice, but it's just not happening here. You'd have more fun sitting on your porch rooftop and sticking your bum in the...
When you get knocked down, you get up again. The Street Fighter franchise might have been out for the count last generation, but Street Fighter 6 puts it back on its feet and back into the ring in style; it's a series comeback if ever I’ve seen one. Determined not...
Here's what we thought of Frictional Games' latest release, Amnesia: The Bunker.
Even with the frame rate dips, occasional fuzzy textures, and uneven pacing, this game is a phenomenal sequel, a fantastic Star Wars game, and just a straight-up great game. This is currently my favorite Star Wars game, hands down. Between the stellar writing, exploration, traversal, and combat, Survivor offers a...
Redfall
I do think that while the skill tree is a bit thinner in a single-player context than Arkane fans are used to, it’s designed to shine in co-op play. The translocator, for instance, isn’t just something you use once, but effectively creates a portal between where you threw it from...
It is safe to say that the user score on Metacritic can be misleading sometimes, especially when it is so at odds with the critic score. As is the case most of the time, it is just a vocal minority who have taken to Metacritic to voice their dissent, and...
Dead Island 2
The Dead Island franchise is more alive than ever with Dead Island 2. The game doesn't just aim to survive but thrives with its immersive world, endlessly engaging combat, and memorable characters. It truly lived up to my childhood nostalgia for the franchise. While the narrative leaves some meat on...
