As a whole, Broken Age pulls off its duality motif wonderfully. Not only are Shay and Vella's stories interesting reflections of themselves, but Part 1 and Part 2 as a whole are practically reflections of themselves, as well. They're two parts of a tale that should be experienced together as...
Despite its issues, Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China is one of the most entertaining experiences I've had from the series in a while. I wasn't a big fan of last year's releases of Rogue and Unity, which both look a lot better than they play. It's nice to take a break...
Crypt of the NecroDancer is a fast paced dungeon crawler that brilliantly blends rhythm based mechanics into a chimeric roguelike that can entertain you for hours. If you manage to master the music you will be rewarded with engaging combat, a plethora of items to use and an addictive adventure...
My one disappointment with the choices, however, felt hard to shake. At one point, when you're faced with a faction to choose, the moment falls flat on its face. No matter what choice you make, the moment ends the same. This shattered the illusion of choice, and wasted the pride...
With its cute art style, excellent use of light and shadow, and challenging puzzles, Stealth Inc. 2 is a great game to check out if you want to put your problem solving skills and reflexes to the test. Some of my favorite parts aren't necessarily in testing chambers where you...
While series like Madden struggle to create a worthwhile product year after year, The Show is fortunate in the sense that it has crafted a nearly-perfect baseball experience for several years. This year is no different and while that may not be everyone's cup of tea, the subtle improvements made...
Even though the story starts to pick up a bit with some interesting plot twists, including one that's clever woven into one of the boss battles, I still found it to be something of a weak point. However, it's easy to skirt around this part of the game by going...
A lot of this game's PSP heritage appears to be on display. While the characters appear to look fine for an HD remaster, many of the environments and menus look awkward and even blurry. The gameplay has several moments of frustration, especially with AI not always knowing when to heal you. This would...
An argument could be made for the weekly content additions Raid mode, the game's competitive multiplayer, which isn't considered in this review. There are also bonus episodes that detail how characters like Natalia survived on the island during the six month gap between Claire and Barry's stories. However, these are...
Hardline does show occasional flashes of brilliance, though, so there's definitely something worth pursuing here. With a stronger emphasis on open area stages and multiplayer modes that utilize the police arsenal, Visceral could craft something much stronger in the future. Further investigation is required.
Still, the Valley of the Yetis campaign is a thrilling experience that almost matches that of the main game. If only all the DLC were this deep. It makes a fantastic finale to an already engrossing game. Even if you have no interest in the season pass, the Valley of...
But if you're looking for a game that provides a nice challenge, and you don't mind the trippy story, Hotline Miami 2 is a good way to go. In it, I busted through a door, knocked a gunman to the ground, threw glass bottle that killed his partner, bashed the...
