What it really comes down to for State of Decay 2 is that unless you like games with slow resource gathering grinds, and don’t mind an odd bug here or there, this game isn’t going to be for you. The multiplayer can be enjoyable with friends, but at the end...
What we have here is the video game equivalent of plain yogurt. There’s nothing really notable about it, but it’s perfectly edible and gets the job done if you’re hungry. If you’re really in the need to get your JRPG fix, there’s much worse you can play than Refrain. If...
Overall, Omensight is well worth the price of admission. It’s short and the lack of a chapter select is a bummer, but I highly enjoyed what time I spent with it. I do wish I could play it more without making a new save file… but the fact that I’m...
Easy to pick up dungeon crawler that teaches you without holding your hand. If anything, it could have told me one or two things a bit more plainly. I didn’t even find the storage chests in Will’s room until the end of the first dungeon! Nothing I recall let me...
Vampyr
I yearn to give this game an 8. It fulfills many of its promises and I enjoyed my time with it. However—speaking for my Playstation 4 review copy (v1.02)—when you take the above alongside grammatical errors, UI errors, crashes, continually pausing to load, combat clunk, and perhaps its narrow interpretation...
Between that, the repetitive environments, and a plot that requires background knowledge in the series, this is by no means a perfect game, or even one of the best shooters I’ve played. It is, however, just a plain fun time and a good challenge to boot.
Overall, Dragon’s Crown is a highly enjoyable, gorgeous, old-school beat ’em up. The new things it introduces all add complexity and depth to the standard beat ’em up formula while still keeping a simple arcade feel to it, and it’s managed to be some of the best couch co-op I’ve...
Scoring this game strictly as its own release, without any relation to its predecessor, this game could easily be an 8/10. However, knowing that I can pick up the original and get essentially the same experience, on the same console, at half the price, knocks a point off.
It feels like Inti Creates wanted to shave the rough edges off of the franchise, but went way too far and scraped off some of the core that made previous entries so fun to play. If you’re a fan of the series, I’d definitely hold out for a discount.
Having said that, however, the game’s 60 levels will likely take you many hours to complete, and is a thoroughly fun experience well worth the $14.99 price tag. As a certain song and this section title goes, it’s hard to overstate my satisfaction. This game is sure to please almost...
Ultimately, I walked away from Yakuza 6 feeling good about the direction it went in. Like previous releases, it’s densely presented and has a tendency to hook you in pretty quickly with everything it brings to the table. From the serious plotline to the usual avalanche of side activities, I can definitely...
It’s clear that not enough love was given to Fear Effect Sedna. The lack of polish shows all over the place, and little flaws that could have been ironed out with more testing cripple the experience. The things it does well are rendered disappointing by the frustrating mess one needs...
