If medieval history is your thing, then this is the Total War for you.
In the meantime, even in a scrappy state, the MechWarrior meets XCOM promise mostly delivers.
One of the most intense, beautiful, and emotionally resonant games that features arranging housing and streets ever made.
Fun, charming, but ultimately frustrating.
The Enemy Within lets you shape and navigate your way through not only an entire relationship, that being the one with John Doe, but also in the direction and creation of The Joker. When you factor in that the Joker is perhaps almost as iconic as Batman, that Telltale was able to execute this progression at all, let alone imbue it with emotional weight – makes The Enemy Within essential for fans of the caped crusader.
What's here is extremely polished and wonderful to look at. And if the simple joys of sailing through Sea of Thieves gorgeous world clicks with you as it did me, then however long you spend visiting outposts and islands and strange wrecks – will be time well spent.
Rough around the edges sure, but the ambition often shines through.
A Way Out understands that co-op can be fun and spontaneous in addition to providing another tense moment requiring coordination.
Even with its faults, from the weird two-halves of the story to the often poorly designed and uninteresting side-quests, Final Fantasy XV feels like a triumph. Characters, heartbreak, and joy over any one mechanic or impressive set piece.
E. 2 is an impressive entry in the test-chamber puzzle game subgenre first made popular by Valve's Portal.
Not that knowing would detract from your enjoyment of The Station, but instead highlight that it handles this part of the experience so well that it can resonate even when everything else is a mixed bag or not all that impressive.
For fans of old school shooters and the rouge-lite setup of games like Rogue Legacy then it's well worth equipping Grandpa's Blunderbuss and venturing into a pyramid filled with adorable but dangerous snakes and flying skulls.
A fun, engaging trip down RTS memory-lane.
In the end Fe certainly looks the part but doesn't quite have enough memorable moments or feeling of discovery to match its ambitious design.
There's definite substance below the shiny neon ‘80s surface.
From the new Golden Ages through to the Governors and expanded Districts, if you've ever been a fan of the series – now's the time to jump back in.
One that isn't afraid to delve into the idea of friendship, humanity, and what technological breakthroughs can bring us as a species.
Morbid curiosity perhaps, just to see an example of a rushed, broken, and featureless game passing itself off as a premium sports experience.
No, a great thing.
Which, in case you were wondering, isn't a good thing for a, you know, racing game.
