As a whole, though, Beyond: Two Souls is without question one of the most ambitious undertakings of this generation — an interactive experience with a massive scope, tremendous mo-cap performances, and a story that, while a little convoluted in places, competently encompasses several decades of a girl's very complex life....
That being said, the gameplay in FIFA 14 is much more refined when compared to FIFA 13, so those who do pick up the game will find a more enjoyable experience overall. Not to mention the realism that the collisions and shooting add to the proceedings make the game look...
The game borrows more than a few ideas from Skylanders, but it executes on those ideas in some pretty smart ways, leveraging Disney's properties to their utmost potential. There may be better singular Disney games out there, but as a blend of multiple properties, this is the quintessential Disney experience.
What KickBeat does to evolve the rhythm genre is smart, it's just sorely lacking in execution. The idea of a rhythm game that uses hand-to-hand combat as a gameplay template makes KickBeat stand out, but when it comes time to actually play the game, the experience wavers between decent fun...
However, as a whole, Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs is a haunting yet gratifying ride, rewarding players who are willing to read every note and explore the horrendous truths of 'The Machine'. The location is really a compelling dive into the recesses of nineteenth century Britain, 'The Machine' just falling...

That means pre-game and post-game interviews, additional in-game tasks from the coaching staff, and community events. Besides adding some humor to the proceedings, the extra attention provides legitimate insight into the day-to-day of a professional athlete - a true first for the series. The in-game simming from shift to shift...
For as much as DuckTales Remastered was an absolute delight to load up that first time, and listen to that iconic, chiptunes theme song, the rose-colored sheen wore off relatively quickly. Seeing these characters brought to life in stunning 2D hand drawn art (think Rayman Legends) is great, but when...
With its emphasis on cooperative gameplay and mini-games that will certainly become go-to party games (KungFoot, we're looking at you), Legends is a must-buy for any gamer who knows how hard to find a truly engaging, local co-op experience is these days. With Origins, and now Legends under their belt,...
Papers, Please is not a game for everyone. It’s not even a game we can guarantee you’ll have fun playing, in the traditional sense. Just like not every worthwhile film is fun to watch, Papers, Please isn’t always going to put a smile on your face. But the array of...
Regardless, Spark Unlimited and the cast can hold their heads high: they told the story they hoped to, and proved that players won't mind occasionally-repetitive gameplay if they're made to care about why they're doing it. Lost Planet 3's fate as a quality but overlooked experience may be unavoidable thanks...
With the core experience nowhere near as satisfying or well-polished as it could have been, the only real motivation to continue forward is to get to the next story event, or try to find the elements of the combat system that offer enough enjoyment to stay engaged. That's certainly enough...
And that's where Madden NFL 25 fails — it doesn't justify its existence. In fact, in a few spots it feels like a step backwards for the franchise, where some of the progress made in terms of defensive AI and players getting sucked into offensive lineman is lost. It's a...
