My Reviews

Platinum Games makes phenomenal action games with a nearly perfect track record. From Bayonetta to Vanquish and beyond, they have proven that 2D action games can be translated to 3D and done well. With bombastic flashy, yet deep combat, gorgeous visuals, and crazy character designs, Platinum Games are at the

Simple is a great word to put in the title because this game is very simple, almost too simple and it’s a continuing issue with these “artsy-fartsy” games that have been out since Echochrome was released over 10 years ago. Journey is still the game that does this best and

Batman has seen a great run over the last decade or so with Christopher Nolan’s film trilogy, the Arkham game trilogy, and now a story-driven adventure game. Batman tells a story I have personally never heard with the game digging into Bruce Wayne’s darker past and finally revealing the truth

Ghostbusters is one of the few franchises out there that doesn’t get enough attention. With Ghostbusters 3 floating around for decades, most fans gave up hope completely. Then, what turned out to be the script for the third movie pretty much turned into what we have today. With all the

I love Remedy’s games and always have. From the first Max Payne all the way to Quantum Break there have been ups and downs, but Alan Wake still remains my favorite game from them. Control takes place in the same universe as Alan Wake and even explains what kind of

Do you trust your government? Do you trust your social media outlets? Do you trust anyone with money or power? That’s what Watch Dogs 2 constantly asks you as you play through the campaign. You play as a hacker named Marcus who is trying to take over what Aiden Pierce

Deus Ex is an old well-loved franchise and the reboot with Human Revolution was well received despite its many flaws. Mankind Divided is a direct sequel taking place right after the terrorist bombing from the end of the last game, and Adam Jensen is at it again trying to solve

Retro-style games are booming right now, especially those with PS1-style graphics. Their limited capabilities are excellent for giving a certain vibe and atmosphere and are especially popular with horror games. While We Wait Here isn't exactly a horror title, it does have a dark tone and theme. This is a

I love horror games set in space as it’s probably the most unknown part of life that we know and is the most isolated and can be quite scary. Observation forgoes the aliens, monsters, and ghosts, and literally gives us an enemy that is the unknown incarnate. You play as

Far Cry is one of the many Ubisoft franchises that has been infected with sequelitis and the “Ubisoftitis” specifically. For the last few years, their open world games have suffered from the same stale structure and layout and they had a hard time finding their own personality. Far Cry 5

Ready at Dawn has had an amazing track record on the PSP with Daxter and both G*od of War games on that system. When everyone heard they were working on a new IP for the PS4 is got everyone’s ears buzzing. A historical third-person shooter set in 1880’s London was

Skateboarding games have always been one of my favorite genres. They’re intense, require an insane amount of skills and coordination, and are just so much fun to play. I started all the way back to the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and ended at Skate 3. From there the genre

A mysterious girl in a red cloak sets sail on a strange SteamPunk inspired machine to always move to the right. It’s never clear what your purpose is, or why you’re going on this short two-hour journey, but you’re doing it, and it’s quite interesting. Your ship rolls instead of flies,

Playing as a ball of yarn isn’t a new concept. Nintendo first did it with Kirby’s Epic Yarn and it was a charming blast. Coldwood tries their hand at crochet platforming and it’s done fairly well. I can’t really explain the story much as it really doesn’t’ exist. Yarny, the

Every time I play a Call of Duty game I expect less and less each time. The game is designed from the ground up for the lowest common denominator and people who have never played games before. Infinite Warfare is no exception being the third game from Infinity Ward this

Life is Strange is one of my favorite games of all time, and one of my top adventure games. The atmosphere, music, characters, writing, and story all made me feel nostalgic to be a rebellious teenager again and it seriously sparked my imagination long after I finished playing it. Before

I never thought I would play a game about sentient corn, but that’s what’s great about games, there’s always an idea someone hasn’t done yet. This is a typical adventure game with puzzles and hallways you wander around finding objects with cutscenes thrown in. The game is simple, funny, and

Obscure Asian horror games are something I’m a sucker for. I know the gameplay and controls will probably be awful, but you’re in for one scary ride, and that’s what matters the most. Detention is a 2D adventure game which takes place in Communistic China back in the 50’s. You

With P.T. only being a demo it sure did imprint itself into the horror genre. Games since have been trying to copy its experience, but is this such a bad thing? I think not as P.T. showed us what we have forgotten, the overall scare factor and how the atmosphere

It’s surprising that over the last 10 years it’s the indie game that has the most touching and memorable stories. Even with AAA game’s million dollar budgets, they can’t seem to get a decent story with armies of writers and directors. What Remains of Edith Finch may be called a
