As you have probably figured out by now, Generation Zero was not in the slightest bit enjoyable for me and it really is such a shame. Avalanche Studios had a really solid base to work off of here and it could have been an incredible experience for players. Instead, to...
The Occupation just seems to work against itself in a finale where unfamiliarity with the surroundings, the necessary puzzle solving, and a constant threat of danger leads you to an ending that feels like something you fell into instead of worked towards. Replaying saves some of the initial frustrations, as...
Left Alive
I don't have much else to say about Left Alive. If you're feeling up to buying it -- why? I'd stay as far away from Left Alive as possible. For all of you hardcore Front Mission fans hoping for a proper sequel in the series, you can bury those hopes...
While DMC5 has upped the series' style and flashiness to heights never seen before, it also packs in a surprising level of warmth and humanity that doesn't completely let its focus on style overwhelm substance. After having waited over a decade, I realize that Dante might be a little older...
Anthem
Anthem desperately needed a bit more time in the oven and the resulting product is one that I'm incredibly lukewarm on -- which is almost worse than if I had outright hated it. I don't understand many of the design decisions in Anthem to the point that I wonder how...
While the commitment HumaNature Studios made to make an actual sequel to the original ToeJam & Earl is commendable, the gameplay just feels way too dated. ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is truly the sequel fans were probably waiting for, it's just 20 years too late.
Trials Rising
All in all, Trials Rising is easily the best entry of the series to date. If you absolutely hate the previous entries, there's not much different in Trials Rising that's going to change your mind. Otherwise, you should absolutely have a blast. I'm anxious to see how much content Ubisoft...
Overall, Death end re;Quest does a good job telling a long story through an engaging RPG/visual novel hybrid. With satisfying combat and some strong story moments, re;Quest might give you that JRPG fix despite having its modest share of issues. And even though it doesn't bring anything insanely new to...
In a time where the Hitman series is better than ever before, I struggle to recommend revisiting some of the franchise's roots with Hitman HD Enhanced Collection. While neither of the titles in this bundle are outright bad, the lack of anything drastically new outside of the improved visuals combined...
While Steins;Gate Elite certainly delivers a storyline that's unconventional and interesting once you get through the first couple of chapters, new players may be turned off early on due to the monotonous nature of the slower paced storyline. However, the second half really does pick up and with new story...
That being said, it does look like Tetris 99 will, hopefully, only go up from here as more is potentially added. If nothing else, Tetris 99 shows how resilient the classic Tetris formula is as well as how battle royale can transcend genres, so don't expect either to completely disappear...
Just like the series, Far Cry New Dawn is a game of exploration and self-discovery. Despite flaws and bumps along the way, New Dawn captures new magic and shows a glimmer of what the future of the Far Cry series looks like. Now if only Ubisoft could match the game...
