Andrew Reiner's Reviews
Walking simulators are often defined by their stories. The Station never truly delivers on its premise or setup
The shooting is fun, but the real hook is devoting time to creating a terrifying killing machine
Battle Chef Brigade is a nice treat, but the intensity of the cooking may make you want to pull out your hair
A thrilling Star Wars moment can end up feeling gross when you're reminded of the microtransactions mid-match
With hundreds of moons to collect and a dizzying number of secrets to unearth, Super Mario Odyssey is a monster of a game that rarely dips in the fun department
Lives up to its name, succeeding both as a riveting golf experience and a narrative that sinks its hooks into you
Exploration is the heart of the adventure, both in the story and the world players navigate. Finding gold bricks is rewarding, as you feel like you're uncovering well-kept treasures
Still the same Knack gameplay at its core, but now with greatly needed variety
Shorter than any other Uncharted game, yet just as powerful and memorable
Some of the brief teases point toward a more meaningful story, but this episode mostly hangs its hat on an underwhelming and surprisingly violent Riddler tale
Whether you are running from a boulder or riding on a polar bear, these games have not lost their charm. They are a fascinating (and fun) look back at the early days of 3D platforming
A fun platformer that offers five to six hours of unique platforming, and a pace that rarely slows
A promising entry into the budding “Souls” genre that delivers excellent combat and far too much repetition in the enemies and environments
A deep game that hits hard in three key areas: fighting, story, and collecting
Road to the Show’s story isn’t captivating, but that’s a small blemish in a monster of a game that knocks most of its content out of the park
A game can be completed in just 20 minutes. That's all you have to suffer through, which is a plus
This game has fascinating secrets to tell, and is continually fun to play. Learning how this entry connects to the series is more than enough reason to play
Final Fantasy XV struggles mightily with open-world navigation, but succeeds in storytelling, combat, and in empowering the player. Even fishing is good fun
Technical problems and odd diversions pull down another Sherlock Holmes adventure
Telltale’s series has settled into a nice groove, and has established itself as a unique (and dark) take on Batman
