ReCore
Despite its imperfections, this is far from a bad game. It's not for everyone, but there are certainly players out there who will eat it up. Hitting at this crucial point of the video game calendar, it's difficult to definitively state that ReCore deserves to be played over other big...
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice is a game aimed directly at people that have been following Phoenix Wright's misadventures from the start. Newcomers won't be able to appreciate the story or the many quirky characters that populate it, but fans will find it hard to put the...
NHL 17
NHL 17 isn't leaps and bounds better than last year's NHL 16, but it's evident upon even a glance that EA Sports has been listening to its fan base. The end result of this leaves glimmers of unrealized potential, but the realization that this is the best installment that the...
Nonetheless, those after a light bite of RTS/RPG gameplay with a positive attitude will find a lot of fun with Champions of Anteria. It is unlikely to blow any players away, and fans of The Settlers will find little to keep them occupied, but there’s a nice little game here....
It's important to keep in mind the price point for this petite adventure ($9.99 USD) makes it an ever-enticing opportunity for gamers to explore the world B.U.D. finds himself on for those looking to kill some time and take in a world so lovingly pieced together by the studio Ubisoft...
Worms W.M.D
It took plenty of time, but Team17 has finally found what new gaming features compliment the 2D landscape, and has dropped the features from previous titles which didn't.

Even if most players probably won't be able to recognize the subtle tweaks made to Madden NFL 17 under the hood that help it to be a superior football game, they will be able to recognize its wealth of accessibility options, its improved visuals, and that it is the most...
However, if the idea of spending hours mining a planet for gold to buy a ship with 24 slots compared to your current ship’s 18 sounds in the least bit boring, then No Man’s Sky is not for you. And that’s okay. This is a game that its own developer...
Brut@l
Overall, Brut@l has an interesting look, and old-school gamers will probably appreciate its nods to one of gaming's oldest genres. It functions on a basic level as a competent dungeon crawler, but its repetitive gameplay combined with its cheap deaths will make most gamers look for other options. The game just doesn't...
Bound
That being said, we found each level to be interesting and fun to explore from start to end, but gamers looking for a challenge beyond speed will likely not find it in Bound. The game only takes a handful of hours to beat on the first playthrough and doesn't have...
Challenging players through gameplay doesn't seem to be what Spearhead Games is interested in, however. It's hard to find a game released this year that is so deft at telling a story while giving players so many looking glasses through which to view it, and for a game that's true ending...
Even though Headlander may be lacking in terms of quantity, the content it does have is quality. As far as Metroidvania games go, it's one of the betters ones, utilizing its unique premise for some effective dark humor and interesting gameplay mechanics. It's safe to say that both fans of...
