Overall I felt as if Daylight was made as a jump-scare machine with a loosely tacked-on plot. I never felt invested in Sarah or cared much for the mysterious man rambling through her phone. In fact, I was more concerned with getting Miss Ghost off my back so she’d stop...
Child of Light
Child of Light will satiate pretty much everyone but the most hardcore of RPG fans, and even then, they’ll find plenty of enjoyment. There are a few minor issues here and there that hold it back from instant-classic status that could be enhanced in a sequel or future work, but regardless,...
When it comes right down to it, LEGO The Hobbit isn’t a terrible game, but it’s isn’t a terribly good one either. The LEGO formula may be finally getting a bit stagnant, and the new additions, while cool, may be too little, too late. If the final section had been...
Cold, Cold Heart feels like a legitimate addition to the Arkham Origins lore, and not just a cheap cash-in. It’s definitely a side story that’s too big to be shoved into the core game, even if it doesn’t really innovate in any meaningful way. While I wouldn’t go out of my...
Trials Fusion is a good game — and I can only see it getting better over time as user-made levels excel and DLC is released — but what’s there now, at launch, is a step down from Trials Evolution. It’s disheartening, then, to see the game come in at a...
With its incessant jiggly boobs, drab story, naughty baby-making imagery, and harem tropes-a-plenty, I’d get why some would steer clear of Conception II. But I’m here to recommend it. The dating side is just interesting enough to keep you roped in, and the battle system grows on you after a...
Hitting in front of the next big thing (the PS4 version) benefited the The Show on PS3 and Vita. In getting the new version game ready, the PS3 and Vita versions have seen some worthwhile updates. Having an account system and franchise carry-over feels necessary at this point. The up...
Kinect Sports Rivals has an inexcusable amount of wasted space with bowling and soccer, but the other four activities are engaging, and the world is charming and appealing enough to win over most of the gamers who enjoyed Wii Sports. If you have a family who likes getting together and play...
This game is pretty much exclusively made for those who already enjoy the BlazBlue franchise and want to continue playing with new and refined characters. BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma offers things like Stylish Mode and an incredibly comprehensive tutorial that not only teaches BlazBlue tactics, but also fighting game fundamentals. Unfortunately people looking...
If you haven’t played a Dynasty Warriors game in a long while, picking up Xtreme Legends on your shiny new PS4 isn’t a bad idea. It doesn’t offer up anything mind-blowing that demands the attention of casual fans, but as a complete package it’s a wonderful entry point.
Blackguards is a wonderful tactics game with some rough edges. The core gameplay and character progression elements are easily some of the best in the genre, but as battles tend to drag on and more and more enemies scream “owAUGH,” the interest tends to fade. The story is easy enough...
It’s not a bad game, but it’s not a “must have” either. The LEGO Movie Videogame does a decent job telling the movie’s story and being its own licensed tie-in game — to its own licensed tie-in movie. Thankfully, both are fun in their own right.
