Despite all that, recommending Severed is easy. It’s a unique, intriguing game that makes brilliant use of the touch screen on the GamePad. This is a perfect off-TV experience. While the gameplay premise wears thin over the short adventure, when the slashing combat works and the exploration feels organic, it’s...
Axiom Verge is otherwise essentially flawless and it’s one of my favorite indie games. This Wii U version is arguably the best one, too, so even if you’ve played it before it may very well be worth the double dip. And man, what’s up with that post-credits scene?!
Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens expertly scratches the itch if you’ve been hankering for a solid video game based off of Episode VII. It carries the Lego Star Wars series forward into the modern Lego style, and is easily the most polished Lego game I’ve ever played. While the...
Mighty No. 9 isn’t a bad game, but it’s generic in gameplay quality and suffers from technical issues that hamper the experience. If you wanted a brand new 2D platforming experience in the vein of the old Mega Man games, then this is probably something worth your time. Just don’t...
Futuridium EP Deluxe is a really interesting space shooter puzzle hybrid that works flawlessly. You will need to learn to manage depth perception, which can be incredibly screwy if you don't take your time and learn. Once you know what to do, 50 increasingly hard stages will await you. They...
Infinity Runner provides some decent thrills, but it isn't anything major in the grand scheme of things. The gameplay and levels are fun, even if they are plagued with some quick deaths. The bigger issues, which you will find in the game's presentation, can be less excused. Framerate dips and...
My feelings echo Zach’s full review above: if you’re someone who adored Mutant Mudds, Super Challenge might be up your alley. That’s really the only use case here, though. Newcomers should go play the original, and after that, if the original was too easy for your liking, check out Super...
Overall though, Inside My Radio is just alright. There are clever environments and the experience of going inside the old radio is a cool one. The controls are just hard to really get on the hang of and it held my enjoyment of the title hostage. While I was complimenting...
If you’re looking for an exciting, LEGO superhero game, you won’t find it in the 3DS version of LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. The simple and intuitive gameplay and charming humor can’t save this game from its performance issues. Inconsistent framerate, a muddled story and a poorly rendered open world keep LEGO...
The first chapter of Minecraft: Story Mode is a fun start to a five episode series. The characters and story is easy to get into, and the chapter hangs on an interesting note that sets the basis for the rest of the chapters. The voice acting is really well done,...
Typoman is a gorgeous game with a lot of half-baked ideas (and physics) and, frankly, deserves better. As it exists, the game is not worth recommending.
My own run through Xenoblade Chronicles X was an unintentional low level run, but I suspect this may have been because of the timing of when I got the game and playing super-extended sessions. Once the game is out and Christmas comes, I’m actually tempted to replay the game at...
