If you're already a fan of The Witcher, there's no reason why Blood and Wine shouldn't have a place in your collection.

5 / 10.0 - Soul Axiom
Jul 3, 2016

Soul Axiom initially holds promise, but design flaws, a convoluted narrative, and constant guesswork make the puzzles feel arbitrary rather than rewarding.

5 / 10.0 - Asemblance
Jun 28, 2016

Asemblance takes inspiration from the likes of PT, The X-Files and The Twilight Zone and brings them together in a package that hints at a franchise with a future that's bigger than what it currently offers.

Final Fantasy X-2 is a fundamentally sound JRPG from a game mechanics perspective, but its cheese factor and lackluster narrative pay off hold it back from being anything more than "the other one." There are interesting ideas at work, and Square's logic of trying to present a different look at the same world makes sense, it just doesn't always work in its favor.

9 / 10 - Overwatch
Jun 7, 2016

You're going to be hearing a lot about Overwatch for a long time to come, not just because the game is stellar, but because of Blizzard's incredibly long track record of supporting their games post launch. You don't need to wait for a sale, the game's full price carries a ton of value both looking at today and with what lies ahead for the game. If you aren't already playing Overwatch, you are missing out.

8 / 10 - Doom
May 26, 2016

If you are a shooter fan, you owe it to yourself to play DOOM, just for the campaign alone. The game is a master class in how you design a level; not in how it looks like, but how it functions.

Coffin Dodgers is a local multiplayer (on consoles) Kart racer that reveres those that came before it, but can't quite match what makes them special.

Unscored - Moon Hunters
Mar 15, 2016

I want to love Moon Hunters, I really do. I know there are a lot of negative points in this review, but I have tried to be as fair as I can. I’m judging the game purely on how well it fulfills its design pillars (Deeds, Combat, and Reputation), but it just falls short on each one. There is vast potential here, but each pillar seems to suffer from some fatal flaw.

Unscored - Darkest Dungeon
Feb 29, 2016

Darkest Dungeon is an easy game to recommend to the right gamer. It require patience, persistence and constant attention to detail. For all of the hours I have poured into the game, I'm still not even sure if I'm playing it right, but I think that's the point. We usually expect to (at some point) master the games that we play, but I'm not sure Darkest Dungeon is ever meant to be. Regardless, I can safely say that Darkest Dungeon is one of the best games to release in 2016 and is a testament to masterful game design and art direction. I highly recommend it to anyone who thinks they are up to the challenge.

For fans of the series, Legacy of the Void is a no brainer. For fans of strategy games, I say the again, StarCraft II is the best strategy game you can buy on PC. If you've been waiting for any reason at all to jump in, don't. The game is deep, the competition is fierce and anyone of any skill level can jump in and appreciate what the game is all about. There aren't a whole lot of games that can say that.

Unscored - Stella Glow
Nov 13, 2015

Stella Glow is a good Strategy-RPG that doesn't do anything to push the genre forward, partially because the genre is already so forward to begin with. For fans of anime, J-Pop or Strategy role-playing in general, the game is definitely worth checking out. The game packs plenty of content as it can take you between 30-50 hours to finish, depending on how much you like to grind.

Sword Coast Legends functions more as a second tier cRPG that scratches the itch, but doesn't do anything to push the genre forward.

Wasteland 2: Director's Cut is the best version of an already very good game. For console players that have missed out on the game over the last year, Director's Cut is a great opportunity to get a taste of a true C-RPG made to work with a controller. For PC players who already own the game, Director's Cut comes as a free upgrade, so everybody will be getting the best possible version of the game.

7 / 10.0 - Magicka 2
Jul 3, 2015

Magicka 2 is a game that focuses entirely on the mage class by emphasizing combination attacks and effects. The challenge can be brutal, but persevere, and there's a satisfying, laugh out loud adventure waiting to be had.

Whispering Willows is a brisk narratively-driven adventure that takes an intriguing theme, turns it into a ghost story, and ties in characters with satisfying depth to create a game that's a little light on gameplay.
