Everyone else will have a harder time pulling the trigger on a full price purchase, even though the base that Ready at Dawn has created is solid and full of potential. The serviceable gunplay, traversal, and occasional boss fight also show some flashes of innovation, but those elements are so...
It's hard to not recommend Super Galaxy Squadron. The game costs as much as a matinee movie ticket, even if it lasts about as long. Even better, Clinkscales is donating all of the game's proceeds to charity, so buying it actually does some real-world good. The rampant destruction, particularly at later...
However, because Dying Light features a very disappointing trial and error ending it’s clear Techland never quite understood what would make its game fun to play. They took a fairly cliché story as Dying Light’s base and then piled different mechanics on top of each other, with seemingly little idea...
In the end, it's the characters, the environments, the music, the writing, and even the unpredictable puzzles blocking progress that give Grim Fandango its winning identity. New audiences may struggle to turn back the clock and enjoy all its challenges, but if the choice was between preserving a relic and...
All-in-all, there's no other game on the market quite like Jazzpunk, and it's worth playing for the novelty alone. The first two-thirds of the game are riotously funny, and while Necrophone doesn't fully deliver on its ambitions, it's better to aim high and miss than not try at all. Ultimately,...
Even so, Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell is a tremendous value when viewed as a DLC add-on for Saints Row 4 and it looks and plays better than ever on current-gen. This is not Saints Row 4.5, even if there is a new open world and story. Rather, this...
Play it all the way through and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter gives just enough to make what players see make sense, and help them go back to finish the overall story and pickup story elements that passed them by. There's enough beautiful - and at times, outlandish - imagery and story to overcome...
Defenders of Time
It's a catch-22 in the end: difficult to recommend in its current form, yet its main path to becoming worthwhile is by having players check it out. Those willing to make the purchase should do so knowing that Defenders of Time has the potential to be a great game, but...
Packaged together with some light customization elements and loot drops (stronger weapons and better gear, for example), Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a serviceable tomb crawling experience. Its concept is not nearly as novel the second time around, but the addition of four-player co-op is sure to...
In the end, the game perfectly blends a fun look and great baseball mechanics that can be played by everyone. The Ego system opens the game up to being a suitable 'child’s first baseball game', while also presenting a welcome change for the most hardcore simulation baseball players. We can’t...
Overall, WWE 2K15 is a hit or miss experience. The misses may not seem all that numerous, but because they affect many of the core gameplay elements, they carry a lot of weight and make it hard to see WWE 2K15 as anything but a disappointing step backwards for the...
Assassin's Creed Rogue
The gameplay or story aren't guilty of missteps or shortcuts, with beats in both the historic and modern sides of the campaign sure to please the most devoted fans of Assassin's Creed lore. But whether it's a case of Black Flag's novelty wearing off, or simply a less ambitious goal...
