Crisol isn't a perfect survival-horror game, but that's not to say that it's not a solid time overall. I really enjoyed Crisol's combat and though the levels are a little bloated, the game still delivers a fairly solid rendition of the classic survival-horror gameplay loop. Genre fans should definitely make...
Nioh 3
Ultimately, Nioh 3 feels like a confident step forward for the series, expanding player freedom through its Ninja style, Style Shift system, and deep build-crafting without losing what makes Nioh work. While its open-field design can lean on tired ideas, it rarely drags the experience down, and the game's combat...
HighGuard
At launch, Highguard has five maps, eight Wardens, and one game mode. Highguard's flagship Raid mode is a lot of fun, but there is so much potential here to expand into other modes that perhaps cater to other gaming tastes. There's no reason why Highguard's action and characters can't shine...
Despite the fumble here, I think that an open world Metroid Prime game can work, but it can't be a half-measure like Beyond is. Beyond could have been a revolutionary step forward like Breath of the Wild was for Zelda, but instead it's a weird in-between that is only fun...
Octopath Traveler 0 is a game I'm glad I spent time with, even if it made me sigh as often as it made me lean forward. It delivers some of the series' most memorable moments, both in how it tells its story and in how it lets you build a...
Where Winds Meet
There is a lot to love about Where Winds Meet. Its combat mechanics are stellar, its world is remarkable, and it offers several fun twists on tried-and-true RPG mechanics. You have to pass challenges to prove that you've progressed to continue leveling up, which means you can't cheese your way...
ARC Raiders
As much as I've already tried, Arc Raiders keeps pulling me back in for reasons I can't always explain. It's fast, punishing, and unpredictable, yet it never forgets to be fun. Its world feels alive in a way that makes every step Topside matter, every run tell its own story,...
King of Meat
There's an entire meta-game at play within King of Meat when it comes to the dungeon creation mode, which is one area where I'd expect the game to have a bit of a longer tail. Players who get enjoyment from titles like Minecraft or even Super Mario Maker will find...
Digimon Story: Time Stranger does some things right, but its repetitive quests and dungeons drag the experience down significantly, to the point where it becomes almost a chore to play at times. Still, hardcore Digimon fans may be able to overlook even its most glaring flaws, as the game was...
LEGO Party
Even so, LEGO Party is a polished, fun party game that delivers exactly what its title promises. It's basically Mario Party with LEGOs, but there is nothing wrong with that. Party game fans will get a lot out of LEGO Party, and while it may not have enough to justify...
Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is a prime example of how to do a remaster right. With a deft hand, it enhances the 1998 original to make it prettier, more immersive, and less annoying, without changing its most essential aspects. How such aspects measure up against contemporary turn-based RPGs...
Borderlands 4
And that's to say nothing of the ability to skip Borderlands 4's campaign, which is an interesting proposition. While it's great to be able to hop straight into the endgame with a new Vault Hunter, Borderlands 4's campaign is so good that it almost feels like you're missing out on...
