I'm somewhat reluctant to stick by all of my larger criticisms because perhaps the game that I was expecting and wanting simply wasn't the same game that House House was aiming to make. But after being presented with all of these tools in a fun world, I just kept imagining...
FIFA 20
Obviously, the game is playable. Some people are going to like it more. I've said this and I want to make it clear. However, the gameplay in FIFA does not feel like a simulation of actual soccer. It feels like some weird mix of magically perfect passes and shots and...
Overland
Like the best survival games out there, Overland doesn't by any means make things easy for players. It can be a brutally-challenging game that is often unforgiving, for better and worse. While certain elements of Overland may take players some getting used to, its mixture of survival, strategy, and roguelike...
This is the least impressed I've been with an NBA 2K title out of the gate this whole console generation, which says a lot. With both Xbox Scarlett and PS5 arriving next year, I hope the team at Visual Concepts is gearing up big time to bring this series into...
NHL 20
NHL 20 is the best the series has been this console generation. Improving upon the changes made in NHL 19, the game has never felt better. The changes may seem subtle, but they really tighten up the gameplay enough for it to feel better than its predecessors. Besides the distracting...
WRC 8
If you like tough-as-nails games that reward your effort with a feeling of improvement, then WRC 8 is not going to let you down. The high-quality courses are fun to drive on, and learning to navigate them more efficiently is a deeply satisfying experience. However, if you are someone who...
GreedFall
GreedFall is Spiders' best game yet, but that does not mean it is perfect. From a gameplay standpoint, players will not get anything out of this game that they can't get in a more polished state in the Dragon Age series or The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt, making GreedFall...
At $40 Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is an absolute steal for those who had countless hours of fun with the original game. For $60, players who may want to give the game a try for the first time can do so with the base game included. The whole package acts...
With all of that said, I think a lot of your personal enjoyment with River City Girls comes down to how you feel about beat 'em ups. This is a good one of those, but if it's not your genre, I'm not sure if it's worth recommending. On the other...
Blair Witch
All in all, though, Blair Witch is still an awfully good game. Its unique story about guilt and PTSD, its flexible gameplay, and its inventive approach at horror all make it worthy of your attention. It is also the best Blair Witch-related thing to happen in 20 years, so if...
Atlus has released a great package for a title that probably didn't get as much love as it should have back when it first launched. From the puzzles, stylistic choices, and storyline Catherine: Full Body holds up even while it's closing in on its ninth anniversary. This is a unique...
As I mentioned above, the game isn't hard. You don't need twitch reflexes or a firm grasp on how to use an analog stick. It feels a lot like a Lego game in that regard. All you need to enjoy Knights and Bikes is a sense of adventure and a...
