Monkey King: Hero Is Back is rough around the edges. That said, it is fun to pick up and play, and not every “good” game accomplishes so much. When you inevitably find this game in a bargain bin somewhere, purchase with confidence--it’ll provide you with a few hours of old-time...
Children of Morta
None of this is to say that Children of Morta is a bad game. In some ways, it’s very good. The way it interweaves the familial unit throughout the story and the game’s mechanics is an awesome touch. In motion, the game is absolutely gorgeous. That said, I think there...
Fans of the original Ghostbusters: The Video Game will probably enjoy this, even if it’s just for a trip down memory lane and to see the cast again and visit some iconic locations. But due to its repetitive combat, insufferable artificial intelligence, and dull gameplay, I would advise first-time players...
Grid
GRID has an identity crisis. It is an amalgamation of ideas that are really great on paper that don’t really work in tandem. You can find better arcade and simulation styled experiences that don’t feel as disjointed or dull. Sure, GRID has variety at its side with the various types...
John Wick Hex
On top of that, Hex's story feels like it belongs in the John Wick universe thanks to some great performances by actors from the movies and the writing by Bithell and his team. While there might be some bugs, I have no problem recommending this game. While I don't think...
Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is not a direct continuation of Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power in any major way, and that ultimately worked to the game's benefit. Now that the series has returned to its roots and found the spark that made the originals games great, one can...
Maybe it's for those reasons that the team behind Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair wanted to avoid the eventual juxtapositions, but despite these criticisms, Playtonic and Team17 should be quite happy and proud of building a game that is at least worthy of comparison to some of the quality character...
And ultimately, I think playing Neo Cab takes a mood. When you’re tired after a long day and can’t bring yourself to deal with anything more challenging or more involved, Neo Cab will be there. It isn’t going to amaze you with ornate animations or deep gameplay, but it might...
As die-hard Contra fans have probably already picked up or sworn off Contra: Rogue Corps, the only people I could see this game being good for now are die-hard groups of twin-stick shooter fans who want to play online and aren't playing on Nintendo Switch. That's quite niche to say...
Daemon X Machina may very well be the best mech-based title ever. Unfortunately, it's far from the best game ever. The gameplay has seen major improvements throughout the development, and that's a commendable and important thing to see. However, it seems that this focus on refining the gameplay and the...
Overall, Code Vein offers an experience that's a bit too similar to the FromSoftware games that established the genre. Its combat doesn't stray far from other Soulslike games but with features such as the Blood Code system, it does offer some variety that could lead to wanting to complete multiple...
The Surge 2
Though those problems can make parts of this sequel annoying, The Surge 2 is still a fun improvement over the original that will win more people over with its tight and well-designed environments and combat. The Surge series remains the uncontested champion of sci-fi Soulslikes, and The Surge 2 establishes...
