Andrew Reiner's Reviews
Exploring small towns is still fun and rewarding until you have to engage in battle and dialogue. Then it falls apart
Jedi: Fallen Order tells a new Star Wars story and takes players to new places. It sits nicely alongside the Rebels and Resistance TV shows, which also dare to be different
The story and writing are still clever, but Dan's adventure hasn't aged well, and ends up being a chore
Leveling up guns is ridiculously fun, and the breadth of modes keeps this experience from feeling repetitive. This is a game you can sink tons of time into
Playing with friends can be fun, especially when stealth is working. But whether the game "works" is the key question at all times
The Surge 2 is challenging, but finds ways to continually reward the player, whether it's a new piece of armor, weapon, or a life-saving shortcut
GreedFall's writing is solid, and the player choice is fun to engage in, but the game needs polish and more meaningful action
Gears 5 delivers plenty of excitement in its encounters and story, and offers nearly endless thrills in its excellently crafted multiplayer experiences
Smashing up cars is fun, and Wreckfest is an old-school racer that delivers on that thrill
The uninteresting story has plenty of dull moments, but isn't enough to kill the thrill of trying to keep all of the characters alive, especially when played with friends
