Control: AWE
AWE is great as an Alan Wake fan, good as a Control fan, and all you could want in terms of getting excited for what is next with Remedy and their connected universe. Hearing Porretta narrate in Wake’s voice is priceless, and while the light mechanic from Alan Wake is...
Madden NFL 21
That being said, unless you’re a hardcore MUT player or have a group who really wants to get into The Yard, I’d steer clear of Madden NFL 21. Outside of those two player bases, there really aren’t any reasons to upgrade this year. If you’re jonesing for some football, just...
Unfortunately, Genius Slackers has invested most of their time on storytelling with What Happened, but at the end of the day, it turned out to be the game’s worst aspect. If they tried to add more variation to the gameplay elements rather than focusing on an undeveloped story, the result...
Tell Me Why isn't a major deviation from what we expect from episodic narrative experiences, but it's one of the few that feels like it has really gotten the storytelling format right for video games. At three episodes in length, the series feels concise and well-paced, and with its new...
No Straight Roads
No Straight Roads is a moderately short experience, but upon finishing the game, I asked myself one question: Did you enjoy your time with No Straight Roads? For me, that answer was a loud yes.
Wasteland 3 is a marked improvement in most areas from its predecessor. Not only that, but it’s the best post-apocalyptic CRPG I’ve played since Fallout: New Vegas, and one of the better RPGs I’ve played in a while. The Fallout series was inspired by Wasteland and went on to eclipse...
The climbing sequences are emblematic of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time's biggest overall problems. Every fun and sometimes even fluid (albeit mindless) encounter is bookmarked by a myriad of small problems that snowball to make the experience less enjoyable. It largely keeps the same voice and tone that the source...
In a year when brawlers like this and Streets of Rage 4 are making a comeback, Battletoads tries a lot of different things. While it does many of them well, some fall short of the mark or just feel shoehorned in, to the point where it confused me. That shouldn’t...
I will happily encourage you to pick up Remnant: From the Ashes and have fun with it, but I’m afraid I can’t really say the same about Subject 2923. There’s more annoyance than positivity here, and even once the technical issues are addressed, it still just feels like unrealised potential....
Ghost of Tsushima may not be the perfect send off to the PS4 generation, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have a great time playing through Jin’s life-changing journey. The worst thing I can say about Sucker Punch’s newest game is that it lacks originality. It just barely stands out....
Spiritfarer
Life is fragile and people are flawed. We don't get to choose our position in life from beginning to end, but we have the choice to get ourselves to where we want to be. We will make mistakes and I'm sure at the end of our lives we will have...
It's honestly hard to describe how amazing Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 feels as there's so much to unpack, but from what I've experienced so far, I can truly say that this will be a game I'll keep coming back to time and time again. From the impeccably detailed aircraft and...
