While Star Wars Battlefront is by no means a triumph, it’s not a disaster either. It nails the Star Wars atmosphere perfectly, with an incredible sense of spectacle and some of the most awe-inspiring moments in multiplayer gaming. That said it’s all pretty skin deep, with none of the depth...
StarCraft II has come to an end. There will be DLC eventually, but what’s known has already been confirmed as spin-off stories. So what does Legacy of the Void do that hasn’t already been done? I’ll tell you perhaps the most important thing it does. It proudly carries the StarCraft...
With a solid blend of strategy and RPG elements, this game does a good job of putting you in your character’s shoes. It’s refreshing to find a strategy game with this much customization, allowing you to upgrade each character the way you want to, not simply unlocking a new,...
In many ways, Prison Architect feels like the ‘Theme Prison’ game from Bullfrog’s golden years that we never actually got. Certainly, if Prison Architect’s extended stint in Early Access was any indication, developer Introversion, much like the aforementioned legendary British developer, had no shortage of ambition and this is certainly...
Darksiders II has satisfying combat, a terrific variety of puzzles, and great, consistent art design. It starts to wear out its welcome deep into its lengthy runtime, and its story fails to deliver on the original game’s promises, but it’s still an exciting adventure well worth embarking on. Unfortunately, this...
Rebel Galaxy
Rebel Galaxy has a ton of style and an incredible atmosphere that captures the weird little subgenre of space western to wonderful effect. But its repetitive combat and focus on trucking across the galaxy means that it’s not as exciting as it could be. There’s a lot to like, but...
Anno 2205
Anno 2205 has so much going on and makes all of your tasking varied and interesting. One game is three different building sims with real-time strategy naval battles peppered in and everything moves in a way that makes it compelling and addictive instead of overwhelming. It’s an ambitious improvement in...
The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone may skirt the line between DLC and Expansion Pack by merely adding more of what was already in Wild Hunt, but gets away with it by being sizeable and awesome. The story, quests, characters, choices, twists, gameplay and wild adventures on offer are well...
Let’s cut to the chase: Batman: Arkham Knight is a great game, but it’s not as good as Rocksteady’s previous two titles. The story attempts interesting things but falls flat, particularly anything to do with the titular Arkham Knight. The gameplay is mostly utterly awesome in combat, stealth, and exploration,...
Vermintide is fast, furious fun, and its supporting systems do a great job of dragging you back in for just one more go. The melee combat is the most rewarding and enjoyable I’ve ever seen in a first-person game, and the distinct hero characters and post-game loot system give it...
The Park has solid atmosphere and pretty good scares, but it also has an unremarkable heroine and an inconsequential plot. It might be a decent curiosity if you’re looking purely for the video game equivalent of a haunted house, but its high price and short length make it difficult to...
Overall Transformers Devastation is surprisingly good. If you’re a Gen 1 Transformers fan and you’re feeling nostalgic you’ll have an absolute blast. The melee combat is excellent (although if you don’t experiment with different attacks you might have less fun), the five different Autobot characters are all unique, and it’s...
