Jed Pressgrove's Reviews
Iconoclasts is an ironic, humanistic critique of religion as much as it is a masterful take on a traditional game genre.
The game thoughtfully uses the opposing philosophies of its lover protagonists, Alm and Celica, to color its warfare.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is one of the most creative turn-based tactical games in years.

Developer Will O'Neill's bluntness fulfills Little Red Lie's philosophy of being honest no matter what.
Following the lead of Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, the game builds toward an incredibly sobering conclusion.
The various forms of Street Fighter II are indisputably the main historical attraction of this collection.

Fire Emblem attains an especially epic, moral grandeur with this game's focus on the interplay between education and religion.
The game fulfills a vision of steadfast humanity within the framework of a martial arts revenge tale.
While The Shivah also explores the reconciliation of faith and practicality, its corny climax can't match The Talos Principle's matter-of-fact ending, which argues that our chosen perspective will limit what we discover in one way or another. Thank God the puzzles are worth it.
The game places trust in the moral, philosophical, and intellectual response of the audience.
It showcases how seemingly minor tweaks to a series can have significant effects on its kinetic potential.
It articulates a horrific but heroic myth underneath the clothes of a traditional platformer and beat-'em-up.

Based on its turn-based combat alone, Dragon Ball Fusions distinguishes itself from other roleplaying games.
