Andrew Reiner's Reviews
A game can be completed in just 20 minutes. That's all you have to suffer through, which is a plus
A great idea on paper, but Natsume Atari didn't deliver the gameplay depth to back it up
Games are quick but messy, to the point that you may try smashing your controller over your leg
Playing as an angry werewolf is fun for a minute, but loses its way through heavy repetition
Seeing the crew behind the wheel again is good, but they deserve so much better than this
The David vs. Goliath angle starts out strong, but ends up recycling the concept over and over
Exploring small towns is still fun and rewarding until you have to engage in battle and dialogue. Then it falls apart
Playing with friends can be fun, especially when stealth is working. But whether the game "works" is the key question at all times
Building a world is fun, but the quest you have to complete to get the materials you need is as dull as they come
When Fallout 76 is working as intended, it's an easy game to lose yourself in, as meaningful discoveries are everywhere. But those moments are often destroyed by glitches, crashes, and technical issues
The kind of nostalgic gaming that makes you want to play the original Mega Man games instead
In the five hours it took to complete Ryse, I experienced a whirlwind of excitement and disgust. I loved the sights, sounds, and basic combat, and loathed the finishers and gameplay deviations
A disappointing chapter in an otherwise outstanding series
The story and writing are still clever, but Dan's adventure hasn't aged well, and ends up being a chore
Walking simulators are often defined by their stories. The Station never truly delivers on its premise or setup
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
A thrilling Star Wars moment can end up feeling gross when you're reminded of the microtransactions mid-match
Virtual reality has the potential to deliver a great action/platform experience. Lucky’s Tale isn’t it
A major disappointment with a silver lining: We likely only have to wait a year for Activision and Toys for Bob to get the series back on track
Figuring out the identity of the Bell Killer is a mission well worth taking, even when the gameplay is trying to pull the experience down into hell
