NBA 2K20 was a fun and serious game of basketball to play. On the surface, I'm partial to the difficulty involved in shooting and the Advanced Pro Stick for NBA 2K21, as they can no doubt separate the great players from the average ones with endless combo possibilities. I like...
The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon adds an engaging new story to The Outer Worlds. The new content, save for the new location to explore, doesn't change up the formula too much but that's absolutely fine. With a game like The Outer Worlds more of the same is a good thing. The new...
Marvel's Avengers clearly wants to be something great, but it can't answer what that something is. It wants to tell a narrative-driven story with the Avengers characters. The co-op elements, meanwhile, want you to play with your friends. Finally, the live service elements wish to ensure you and your friends...
Wasteland is back and better than ever with all new settings, narratives and gameplay, but with that same wacky flavor the franchise is known for. This evolution of Wasteland comes with plenty to do for all levels of players. Veteran players will notice continued themes while the title still remains...
It's hard to understate how incredible having the whole world available feels and the amount of possibility it opens up. I've been playing for over a week and there are entire continents I haven't looked at yet, and am still only beginning to settle down and focus on an overall...
Battletoads revives what was thought to be a long-dead franchise without missing a step. The game benefits from modernized game mechanics but maintains the overall gameplay feel of the original titles. If you have fond memories of the earlier titles, it's a no brainer that this is a title worth...
Mortal Shell is a faithful homage to the games that came before it. It doesn't shy away from this and instead uses the genre's history to push players into new situations. Combat is fluid and makes use of the dodges, parries and melee attacks that veterans are used to. It's...
Spiritfarer is an absolute triumph and easily goes down as the best game that Thunder Lotus has created. It's no easy feat to juggle a cast of charming characters with captivating stories, a vibrant world that allows for a ton of fun platforming, enjoyable bits of resource management and crafting,...
Death end re;Quest 2 follows the mold of its predecessor but is ultimately more enjoyable. There are times when the day portion of the game feels like it's going on for too long but the story is at least interesting enough where it's not too tedious. The battle sequences are simple...
While it would be nice to see Toriko as more of a character, everything else in Void Terrarium is bursting with charm. A dark charm in certain cases, such as the remorse felt by factoryAI for killing the humans (not a spoiler, this is revealed early) who built the underground...
It's apparent that a lot of work went into Fairy Tail to ensure that it's something fans would embrace. While its target audience is obviously fans of Fairy Tail its pacing and mechanics provide an engaging enough experience where those unfamiliar with the franchise would still find it a worthwhile...
Once upon a time, it was impossible to run Crysis without melting your PC. Sure, you could play it on PS3 or Xbox 360, but hardware limitations handicapped the experience. Many of those limitations crop up again on Switch, but developer Saber Interactive has mostly managed to get it to...
