The Banner Saga 3
In the end, The Banner Saga 3 gave me a solid 10 hours of delightful content. It provided a satisfying, though undoubtedly grim and powerful, ending to a story that hasn’t left my mind since I played the very first few minutes several years ago. Stoic has done a wonderful...
Frostpunk
Frostpunk is a carefully balanced, tightly focused and deeply considered game. No sacrifices to its primary aim have been made, no areas of bloated design have been permitted. The focus is always on the idea of surviving, and the physical and emotional cost that this can have in a hard...
Unravel Two
Unravel Two is priced as an indie game and worth the cost if you’re looking for a fun-filled puzzler that you can enjoy with a friend. It’s beautifully created worlds and unique perspective complement environmental puzzles that are a joy to solve. The two Yarnys abilities and cute antics will...
Bus Simulator 18
Bus Simulator 18 is by no means a perfect game, however. There are several apparent bugs, such as drive settings not taking effect in multiplayer games, to a mess of spelling and grammatical mistakes. Most of them can be considered lack of polish more than game-breaking, but it would be...
Pillars of Eternity
Pillars of Eternity II is an excellent game in a genre that has seen a resurgence of quality titles as of late. Continuing on from Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian Entertainment was able to create a brilliant sequel that neither ignores its history, nor forces the gamer to have experienced it....
Detroit: Become Human
Looking at the rest of the world, when you go outside it’s a mixed bag. The environments are rather small but mostly sharp and colorful, but from time to time there’s a noticeable downgrade in the quality of the image to sustain a solid frame rate; when it isn’t there,...
State of Decay 2
Finally, State of Decay 2 is a good game that lacks a bit of ambition when it comes to deliver certain things such as multiplayer and other core mechanics that could’ve been smoothed up. At any rate, it must be valued for what it is at the base: a game...
God of War
Finally, God of War is a brilliant reinvention of a character who was out of place and out of time in the current generation of video games, and an evolution in the way relationships between two or more of them are depicted in such a creative environment. It’s a game...
BattleTech
The only areas Battletech really seems to fall down are where it doesn’t fully explore the things it is trying to do. It is, in many ways, a difficult game, for people who enjoy difficult games. But when things go your way, it allows you to feel powerful, smart, and...
Extinction
There is an interesting concept here, and much of the execution is fun, but a lack of polish and depth, with no real effort to expand upon the core mechanics, means missions rapidly fall into the trap of feeling repetitive. Extinction is filled with neat ideas, like balancing fighting the...
Far Cry 5
For the most part, Far Cry 5 is for fans of the series. Enough is done to push it forward, and most of the changes work well, leading to a more rewarding gameplay experience. People who were simply never into the series won’t find anything here that changes their mind,...
