Cities: Skylines is the city-building game we all wanted, but never got -- until now.
If you love coaster creation, you're going to enjoy ScreamRide. If you love destroying things and watching buildings crumble, well, you'll also enjoy ScreamRide; but, you should probably seek help.
There Came an Echo rivals some of the greatest sci-fi thrillers in terms of story. I would've liked to see the gameplay expanded upon a bit more, but its brilliant story will definitely make you think, just not always on the battlefield.
Despite repetitiveness in modes and characters, Evolve offers replayability thanks, in part, to its addictive competitive nature.
Episode 2: The Lost Lords does exactly what it needed to do. Progress the story and introduce new likable characters. But the episode was too straightforward for my liking; it failed to keep me on the edge of my seat like the show does on a continuous basis.
Dying Light is basically zombies on steroids. You're quicker, the zombies are quicker, and an action-packed, adrenaline-fueled rush. It's not without faults, but it's still a good time if you're into the whole zombie thing still.
Citizens of Earth is a good premise marred by poor game design. I appreciate the old-school charm and contemporary satire, but the many of the game's mechanics are just too frustrating to overlook.
Gat out of Hell is a fun way to kill time while we all eagerly await the release of a more-complete Saints Row 5. That's coming, right?
The Mystery of Mooil Rig is fun, but a bit pointless. There's nothing truly compelling about it that would make non-expansion pass owners envious. As one of two story-based expansions, I don't know why Insomniac Games felt the need to explore this rather than offering us insight into the world after you completed the main campaign.
Though I'm sure the boobs will come, the interesting characters and nail-biting situations that Telltale puts you in, in just the first episode alone, is a nice setup to the cruel series you are about to experience. It's not going to be easy for House Forrester -- as evidenced by the events of the first episode -- but I look forward to seeing how things unfold in the remaining five.
While still having room to grow, PES 2015 is an overall much-improved product. Now when people ask which game -- FIFA or PES -- we'll finally have to stop and think.
Current wrestling fans might be disappointed with WWE 2K15, but for dirty casuals just looking to get back into the ring, it's enough to keep you occupied.
This War of Mine is an eye-opening experience that offers a refreshing, albeit bleak take on war. It's so easy to glorify war these days that you forget about those who are really impacted by it -- This War of Mine is a much-needed reminder of that.
On surface level, Defenders of Time looks like a very generic, bland tower defense game. But after soaking quite a few hours of playtime into it, it's apparent there's much more depth than the game initially lets on.
With more than ten years worth of Halo content offered on one disc, The Master Chief Collection is one of the most robust curations I've ever seen. Not only does it offer you just about everything you could possibly want from Halo, but it does so on your terms, via a simplified navigation menu in which you are free to decide what to play.
Sunset Overdrive has all of the elements of a holiday blockbuster, but it's completely self-aware -- and it totally works in this case. It's a reminder that we don't always have to take games so seriously.
It's not easy for a game with the name Shinji Mikami attached to it to live up to the hype, but The Evil Within does a nice job of staying true to its roots.
Alien: Isolation isn't created with the same purity as the xenomorph in which you'll be hiding from; it's not perfect by any means. But it's finally a game that does the iconic franchise justice.
The Sims 4 is still the same ol' fun you've had in the fun, but with a little more weird and much less content.
If anything, The Last Tinker: City of Colors is a nice tribute to the wonderful 3D platformers of yesteryear. It's just a pick-up-and-play kind of game, void of overly complex gameplay and intense narrative. It will remind you of why you started playing games, especially on the PlayStation system.
