In short, Obsidian Entertainment has created a specific title for a specific audience, but has done so with great success. Pillars of Eternity is a must-have for fans of the Infinity Engine RPGs, or 1990s computer role-playing games in general. Those unfamiliar with the genre may find the title a little less...
It's hard to call Bladestorm: Nightmare a good game, but it is an oddly satisfying one. The main campaign is riddled with pacing issues, and the combat isn't nearly as deep or tactical as Omega Force would like players to think it is. Still, leading a flock of powerful, sometimes...
Unfortunately, when friends leave and kids find a new distraction, Fruit Ninja Kinect 2 will sit on the Xbox One's hard drive, taking up space until the next family gathering. There is little reason to return to the game for days or weeks at a time, with few rewards available...
It may be sparse on new content and require an affinity for replaying past levels to keep the adventure alive, but Jamestown+ manages to nail the feeling of adrenaline from the gaming days of yore. Whether played alone or with friends through local co-op, it's hard to resist the urge to take to the...
Multiplayer gets by with some intriguing new modes, but it doesn’t deviate enough to bring new blood into the mix. Battlefield fans will find plenty to enjoy in Battlefield Hardline, but they would have been equally satisfied with a DLC expansion as well. In other words, don’t go into Battlefield...
Regardless, Flame Over is a game that successfully nails the rewarding feeling of learning from one's surroundings in order to overcome new obstacles. It will certainly not appeal to every gamer, but those looking for a fresh take on the ever-growing roguelike and twin-stick shooter genres should definitely give Flame Over a chance.
From basic double jumping challenges to Portal-inspired vortexes that require gravity-defying leaps to survive, Ori offers plenty of beauty and challenge for 2D platforming fans. The story plays out subtly throughout the adventure and adds that something special to make the game more than just a pretty platforming journey. The...
In short, Cities: Skylines achieves everything we wanted in SimCity with ease. Coming in with the affordable price of $29.99, this is one game we fully recommend to any gamer looking to enjoy a city building game that not only allows them to generate gigantic metropolises, but design each element...
Of all the sequels set to release in 2015, there won't be many that expand upon their predecessor quite as much as Wrong Number does. It's a bigger, bolder game than the first — and while that doesn't mean it's better in every respect, it's very satisfying to see a...
Helldivers is another successful cooperative experience from Arrowhead Game Studios. They’ve taken a very simple concept and found a way to introduce challenge and strategy in a way few games have before. Sure, it’s occasionally overwhelming, but that’s what makes Helldivers so much fun. Getting together with a few friends...
It also wouldn't be right not to acknowledge OlliOlli2's truly incredible soundtrack. With catchy electronic beats and pulsing tunes in the background, players will be nodding their heads as much as they will be trying to frantically push up and down on the analog sticks. Not only does the soundtrack...
Is it worth it? Absolutely, if you're a fan of absurd stories, off-the-wall humor, and dating simulators. Playing Hatoful Boyfriend isn't really playing so much as it is reading and making a few decisions on what you think your date might like you to say. If you enjoy things like...
