This flaw and its others make One Piece: Burning Blood from Spike Chunsoft and publisher Bandai Namco somewhat difficult to recommend even to those that are huge fans of the anime. While it's neat to relive one of the stronger stretches of story from the source material, the core fighting...
Overall, Total War: Warhammer is both a fantastic addition to the Total War series, and to Warhammer in video games as a whole. A must for strategy fans, the title delivers a stunning high fantasy setting alongside thrilling large-scale battles and complex yet enjoyable empire building. Near-perfect, the game is...
Playing with another person that isn't communicating on voice chat against a team of players that are in sync is a brutal, punishing experience. It doesn't seem fair to hold this against the game, when it is clearly marketed as a team-based gaming experience. It seems like a great strength of Overwatch...
In the end, then Stellaris is a tremendous return to form from Paradox. The title manages to mix complex strategy mechanics with a more lenient attitude towards newcomers to great success, granting a level of flexibility of play rarely seen in the genre. Combined with some great world-building and an enchanting...
Despite the excitement that accompanied Mutants in Manhattan, PlatinumGames has created a subpar product that has been discounted appropriately. Maybe Activision would have allowed for more development time or encouraged more depth from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title in another life, but this slog of a game fails to innovate or entertain for...
In the end, Stoic has more than delivered on the promise of the first installment of the series. The Banner Saga 2 maintains the same level of surface quality, and underneath lie the same intriguing combat mechanics for players to mull over. Best of all, the game's story is second...
In an alternate history, Homefront: The Revolution makes up for the shortcomings of its predecessor, building on its Red Dawn inspirations to engaging effect. However, what Homefront: The Revolution actually is and what it aspires to be are never one in the same. The story has some interesting ideas, but...
Doom
There's no question that – despite uncertainty amongst the most diehard of fans – DOOM's reboot has managed to piece together an enjoyable experience. Its combat is as relentless and fast-paced as fans have come to expect, and this helps it stand out amongst a number of other shooting titles....
It's clear that Battleborn is a little rough around the edges, but the game has some things going for it. Again, it has a good sense of humor, the core shooting mechanics are satisfying, and it has a strong lineup of 25 characters that all feel like they bring something to...
Those who want to dig deeper, however, will find a story that’s engaging, mechanics that are refined, animations that are technically excellent, and writing that’s mature but also playful. In every way the game feels like the perfect send-off to a beloved character and a major Sony mascot. Uncharted 4...
While it can be funny at times, Party Hard has issues delivering in other areas. The shallow gameplay has already been touched upon, but the game also falters because of its bugs. Some levels will allow players to make phone calls with invisible telephones, and in others, players can expect...
Maybe it's just that Severed's story and animation were so deep and enthralling that the much more simplistic combat was bound to feel shallow by comparison. Severed is still a fun game, and because it's relatively short, even when the combat becomes more tiresome than exciting there isn't much left to go...
