While I enjoyed my time with the single-player campaign in Marvel's Avengers--which surprised me with its warmth, fun, and energy--its multiplayer components haven't quite come together just yet. As a game that revolves around assembling its team of iconic heroes, Marvel's Avengers at this time still feels a bit at...
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 isn’t a simulation, unlike most modern skateboarding games we’re seeing today, but instead, it’s something fun, enjoyable in short bursts or long sessions. It’s a throwback to the past in a way that hasn’t erased its charm and legacy; it instead expands on that and...
Star Renegades is, at its core, a tactical rogue-lite RPG that’s laden with well thought out systems, a varied cast and a beautiful world. It’s an addictive foray across a range of planets in which you lead a bunch of misfits into battle against malevolent enemy forces. It’s a thinker's...
Raji: An Ancient Epic is a unique starting point from Nodding Heads; it features a great story about sibling love and saving everyone from demons. Environmental storytelling complements the strong narrative with murals and rotating puzzles that flesh the world out and gives us more backstory on Raji’s past. The...
Crusader Kings III is a game that you become completely engrossed in as you play, and obsess over when you're not. I found myself constantly playing out scenarios and strategies for my kingdom, dreaming of the moment that I unite an entire country under my powerful rule, and celebrating the...
In short, Captain Tsubasa is a simple tactics-adjacent sports game with characters you’ll quickly grow to love. Nothing here is particularly groundbreaking, but it is so much fun seeing Japan’s Golden Generation grow into tomorrow’s stars. The game probably doesn’t have much of a competitive future. That said, it did...
Iron Harvest doesn't feel like an RTS for seasoned players of the genre. Much like its mechs, some parts of it feel clunky. But past its rusted exterior, inside Iron Harvest is a fun and entertaining time sink. It's one of the few titles I've played this year where I...
All in all, Project CARS 3 is a new attempt from Slightly Mad Studios that doesn’t really fit into the rest of the franchise, but delivers a moderately enjoyable experience for racing fans. The game partially succeeds in being a spiritual successor to NFS: Shift, but in general, the new...
Control: AWE
AWE is great as an Alan Wake fan, good as a Control fan, and all you could want in terms of getting excited for what is next with Remedy and their connected universe. Hearing Porretta narrate in Wake’s voice is priceless, and while the light mechanic from Alan Wake is...
Madden NFL 21
That being said, unless you’re a hardcore MUT player or have a group who really wants to get into The Yard, I’d steer clear of Madden NFL 21. Outside of those two player bases, there really aren’t any reasons to upgrade this year. If you’re jonesing for some football, just...
Unfortunately, Genius Slackers has invested most of their time on storytelling with What Happened, but at the end of the day, it turned out to be the game’s worst aspect. If they tried to add more variation to the gameplay elements rather than focusing on an undeveloped story, the result...
No Straight Roads
No Straight Roads is a moderately short experience, but upon finishing the game, I asked myself one question: Did you enjoy your time with No Straight Roads? For me, that answer was a loud yes.
