There are a few bumps along the road, but Trails of Cold Steel III is yet another excellent entry in the Legend of Heroes series. Longtime fans will find a lot to love about this game, from the smaller but stronger core cast and the intertwining of plot threads from...
While I didn’t have huge expectations for Destiny Connect, I feel like the game has settled for simply being average. For a sub-15 hour RPG, revisiting the same places over and over again while posing no challenge struggled to hold my attention for even a third of the time, and...
The Surge 2
All in all, The Surge 2 is a thoroughly average title in the small but growing Souls-like subgenre. You will certainly get enough game for the price (my run took about 25 hours with only about half of the sidequests completed) and overcoming some of the challenges thrown at you...
The Alliance Alive didn’t perform overly well upon its initial release on the 3DS, so FuRyu brought it to the Switch and PS4 in an effort to find a wider audience. And that’s who should consider picking up this game: people who haven’t played the original. That’s not to say...
In the end, Whispers of a Machine simply tells an engaging detective tale about a series of murders in a small town. While it doesn’t break any new ground with its narrative, it makes for an enjoyable time as you explore Nordsund and learn about the people who live there....
In spite of the harsh scrutiny I leveled at YU-NO throughout this review, I was thoroughly entranced by it. YU-NO’s acclaim is well deserved and proves the adage that there is no expiration date on a good story. Whenever I was at work, my only thought all day was, “Man,...
Indivisible
Yes, Indivisible is one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played, but it’s also so much more than that. Lab Zero Games have managed to make something truly unique with the game’s world and characters, and the mixture of exploration and fun combat made playing it joyous, even if...
Borderlands 3
If I were to over-simplify and equate most video games to desserts, I’d put them in two camps: you have your rich chocolate mousse slice of cake and the super-sized bag of salty, greasy potato chips. Some games don’t have a lot on the plate, but that labored over mousse...
Code Vein
Overall, Code Vein is a refreshing take on the genre because, while it does a few things differently to similar games, it’s not trying to reinvent the wheel. While it has its easy moments, I think this is because the developers want you to enjoy their game rather than display...
Link’s Awakening for Switch is like a wonderful dream that you never want to end, even though you know it must. It leaves everything remarkable about the original intact while adding in quality-of-life features, a jaw-dropping new art style, and a beautifully remixed and orchestrated soundtrack. Even though the addition...
Neo Cab
Neo Cab is a short but altogether engrossing and clever game that offers players a lot of replayability. Lina’s journey in Los Ojos was ultimately very fulfilling once I reached one of the game’s better endings, and I regretted none of my time behind the virtual wheel. Those who crave...
GreedFall
GreedFall does nothing exceedingly harmful in terms of gameplay and its BioWare-esque elements had me enjoying the time I spent playing it. This title is certainly a step in the right direction for Spiders, and I hope that they continue to improve from here. Spiders is an RPG developer with...
