There's no denying that Lords of the Fallen is derivative, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing in this case. The game is unique enough to be attractive to Dark Souls fans without feeling like a ripoff. Its difficulty may seem a little too forgiving for the most experienced Souls players,...

It may be a divisive experience, but for fans of Bayonetta's mystique and over-the-top style, Bayonetta 2 is an essential experience. It has its share of flaws that are consistent with the genre's history, but in the end, these complaints aren't enough to upend the forward momentum that Platinum Games has...

The only real drawback to the game is that its missions struggle to match the quality of the writing and the gunplay. There's great packaging, sure, but it gets to the point where shooting enemies while grinding on rails becomes a bit tired. Even so, this is a case where...

And in the end, that's how we feel about the game. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is not very fun solo but is meant to be experienced cooperatively with friends. It supports two-player splitscreen and online play up to four. For fans of the series, the game's style and characters makes it easy to...

NBA 2K15 is both tough to love and hard to hate. It’s loaded with the familiar modes and content that fans have come to love, and when it’s on, it is some of the best virtual basketball anyone’s thumbs have ever been a part of. It just seems so hard...

Had The Evil Within been released ten years ago it might have blown people away, but in 2014 it simply feels derivative. It's not particularly scary, the gameplay is frequently frustrating and the story isn't compelling enough to incentivize pushing forward to find out more. Hardcore survival horror enthusiasts should definitely check it...

Like most free-to-play games, Project Spark has a catch. Some of the coolest props that you may want to add to your custom games will need to be purchased with an in-game currency. The marketplace money can be purchased by shelling over some real world cash or earned by spending more time in...

Alien: Isolation is not the game fans had hoped it to be, but it's likely the closest to an authentic recreation of the movies that they'll get for now. The sense of tension, the atmosphere, and that ever-present xenomorph are some genuine strengths, but the latter's inconsistent AI and random...

DriveClub is easily accessibly and highly recommendable, even for no other reason than the simple fact that it's the only new racer available on PS4 this year. It's slickly designed and just plain fun to play. There's room for improvement on the car selection, progression and customization, but what's there...

Ultimately, recommending FIFA 15 comes down to where gamers stand with the series. Those who skipped last year's game in the hopes that this would be the must-have next-gen experience will be dooly rewarded with a better looking and better playing game. Similarly, any fans who have fallen off the...

Despite its namesake, Horizon 2 seems to fit alongside competition like Need For Speed: Rivals - with its next-gen visuals and features also preparing a head-to-head bout with Ubisoft's The Crew. But as outlandish as the action may get, the strength of the Forza tradition provides a link for simulation...

Destiny is the type of game where there's a lot to enjoy if you make the most of it. Putting in an effort to coordinate with others to tackle certain bounties or challenges is just plain fun, and the story and other stuff isn't required for that sort of cooperative experience....
