Despite the excitement that accompanied Mutants in Manhattan, PlatinumGames has created a subpar product that has been discounted appropriately. Maybe Activision would have allowed for more development time or encouraged more depth from a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles title in another life, but this slog of a game fails to innovate or entertain for...
In the end, Stoic has more than delivered on the promise of the first installment of the series. The Banner Saga 2 maintains the same level of surface quality, and underneath lie the same intriguing combat mechanics for players to mull over. Best of all, the game's story is second...
Doom
There's no question that – despite uncertainty amongst the most diehard of fans – DOOM's reboot has managed to piece together an enjoyable experience. Its combat is as relentless and fast-paced as fans have come to expect, and this helps it stand out amongst a number of other shooting titles....
In an alternate history, Homefront: The Revolution makes up for the shortcomings of its predecessor, building on its Red Dawn inspirations to engaging effect. However, what Homefront: The Revolution actually is and what it aspires to be are never one in the same. The story has some interesting ideas, but...
It's clear that Battleborn is a little rough around the edges, but the game has some things going for it. Again, it has a good sense of humor, the core shooting mechanics are satisfying, and it has a strong lineup of 25 characters that all feel like they bring something to...
Those who want to dig deeper, however, will find a story that’s engaging, mechanics that are refined, animations that are technically excellent, and writing that’s mature but also playful. In every way the game feels like the perfect send-off to a beloved character and a major Sony mascot. Uncharted 4...
While it can be funny at times, Party Hard has issues delivering in other areas. The shallow gameplay has already been touched upon, but the game also falters because of its bugs. Some levels will allow players to make phone calls with invisible telephones, and in others, players can expect...
Maybe it's just that Severed's story and animation were so deep and enthralling that the much more simplistic combat was bound to feel shallow by comparison. Severed is still a fun game, and because it's relatively short, even when the combat becomes more tiresome than exciting there isn't much left to go...
Ultimately, however, Enter the Gungeon is an excellent entry into the bullet hell or roguelike genres, and is an enjoyable experience that will reward gamers for frequently playing. Enter the Gungeon has an undeniable charm that seeps into every room of every level. Despite frustrations with the way it becomes structured towards the...
It took roughly ten hours to complete Quantum Break the first time, and the replayability is largely limited to two playthroughs total for those that just want to wrap it up and move on. Even then, it's a well-crafted adventure that innovates in a way that compelled me to continue putting my own...
Overall, despite some minor flaws in the game's layout and presentation, Salt and Sanctuary is one of the early contenders for indie game of the year in a field that already has some stiff competition in titles like Firewatch. Ska Studios' loving send-up of From Software is the finest 2D action RPG that's...
With attractive new graphics and sensible tweaks to the game's interaction interface, Day of the Tentacle Remastered is the definitive version of a classic. This is a title that can easily engross someone that's never played the original, with enough extra content to qualify as an instant purchase for longtime...
