Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 review for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Skating down the Warehouse’s first ramp, smashing through its glass doors, and then performing a picture-perfect Christ Air soundtracked by ‘Guerrilla Radio’ is a transportive experience. THPS 1+2 is a time capsule teleported in from the ’90s, taking me...
Obsidian gleefully and unabashedly took a lot of different aspects of the RPG genre and successfully mashed them with its own creative ideas to make The Outer Worlds, one of 2019’s strongest experiences. And now Obsidian is going down another path well-worn by role-playing games: expansions. Peril on Gorgon is...
MARVEL’S AVENGERS REVIEW FOR PC, PS4, XBOX ONE, AND GOOGLE STADIA. Following the sensational Endgame movie, the excitement surrounding the Avengers is surely at an all-time high. It seems like the perfect opportunity for this new Marvel’s Avengers game to swoop in and capitalize on the hype. Give the players Iron Man, Captain America,...
Crusader Kings 3 review for PC. It’s easy to confuse Crusaders Kings for a series that’s only about stats and strategy. Those are two crucial aspects, but at its heart, Crusader Kings is about stories. Crusader Kings 3 brings that to the forefront, with more characterization options, events, and a...
Tell Me Why review for PC and Xbox One. Dontnod Entertainment’s latest adventure Tell Me Why features two telepathic twins in its lead roles communicating via reading each other’s thoughts, yet this isn’t as unbelievable as the interactions between its characters. A small-town story about two siblings trying to learn the truth behind...
Video game developers love a post-apocalyptic setting. Hundreds of titles are set in the aftermath of civilizations collapse in the face of nuclear war, zombies, civil unrest, environmental upheaval, or vague McGuffins. A post-apocalyptic series that rose above the rest was Fallout, which mixed catastrophe and desperation with humor to...
Flight Simulator 2020 is a daunting prospect for someone like me. I have such a lack of aviation knowledge that it’s almost impressive how little I know about planes. For all I know, aircraft are powered by magic. They are essentially giant baked bean tins with humans trapped inside, propelled through...
MORTAL SHELL REVIEW FOR PS4, PC, XBOX ONE. While Soulslikes have been struggling to keep up with From’s genre-topping efforts over the past decade, gaming as a whole has been confusing “bigger” for “better” in that same time frame. They’re two separate issues but are both ones that Mortal Shell simultaneously...
Risk of Rain 2 review for PS4, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch. The original Risk of Rain was something of a indie hit, offering simple roguelike gameplay in an atmospheric two-dimensional world. But there was something missing; something holding the game back from being the action-packed experience it was yearning to be....
Fall Guys review for PS4 and PC. After endless waves of new battle royales, it turns out that all we wanted out of our last man standing multiplayer games was Takeshi’s Castle. Fall Guys is developer Mediatonic‘s “massively multiplayer party game,” pitting 60 players in a colorful game show where only one can...
Hellpoint review for PS4, PC, Switch, and Xbox One. It feels like Souls-likes are going to overtake battle royales as the most played-out genre. The amount of frustrating, low-quality pretenders to the Dark Souls crown seems to grow by the day. That’s not to say there’s no innovation left for...
Carrion review for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Carrion lets you control a vile, amorphous blob trapped in a secret underground government facility, as it casually murders everyone responsible for its captivity. You are the unfathomable, indescribable horror that would send the protagonist in a Lovecraft story mad, flinging yourself around...
