Yes, so, Divinity: Original Sin 2 was over a hundred hours of pure RPG bliss. Memorable from start to finish, I’m somehow unaware of where the time went. My Steam account could have reported half the time I actually spent, and I wouldn’t have questioned it for one second. Odd...
Sadly, The Frozen Wilds is the only planned piece of DLC for Horizon Zero Dawn, which means that we’ll have to wait for a sequel to learn more about Aloy and the utterly captivating world she lives in. But with a sizable new region to explore, new machines to master,...
Golf Story
Golf Story is a unique game, a breath of fresh air in the genre that successfully showcases its flexibility. The blend of sports gameplay and RPG mechanics makes for a wonderfully fun adventure, and the game has cemented itself as a must-own Switch title. It’s obvious that a lot of...
Monster Hunter Stories is a solid addition to the Monster Hunter family, and is a nice change of pace from the traditional games. I can see this turning into a standalone series should Capcom want to make more games like this, and I would gladly play them. If you like...
I’m angry with Nights of Azure 2 because I was hoping it would take on the criticisms of the first game and work with them to make an improved sequel. Instead, everything from the gameplay, to the story, and even the music is a let-down from start to finish, and...
If you find yourself in the center of the Venn diagram of “people who enjoy South Park” and “people who enjoy turn-based RPGs” then South Park: The Fractured but Whole and its predecessor The Stick of Truth are both must-play video games. If either of those qualifications are negotiable or...
Although the porting issues affect the experience enough to bog it down a bit, they’re not so extreme as to ruin it. PoE is that rare game where each of its components, from the story and writing to the audiovisual aesthetics, are individually exceptional yet manage to combine into something...
I remember that when I first started playing Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception, I wanted to figure out what the mask in the title signified. I found my answer in Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth’s oxymoronic title. We’ve all worn masks at some point in our lives. Whatever those reasons may be...
With tons of difficulty options and a wonderful mod community, XCOM 2: War of the Chosen is the perfect game for just about any ambitious armchair general. You can tough it out in a super calculated ironman campaign on legendary or, should you choose, tone down the difficulty a bit...
Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony is a wild ride which will leave you feeling both hope and despair, and that’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s another excellent entry in the series, and it solidifies its place as one of the best visual novels out there. The game takes some...
Xavier Manzanares, the producer, said at E3 that this is a game “made with passion, with our hearts.” I can feel that passion come through. Ubisoft treated this game with the respect that a franchise like Mario deserves. So while control issues plague what might have been an absolutely amazing...
Cat Quest
Despite my issues with the game, I did ultimately enjoy Cat Quest. Its brevity actually works in its favor, making the issues outlined above feel less egregious than they would if the game were longer. I still wish the story wasn’t quite so bland and the gameplay wasn’t as repetitive,...
