Mark Delaney's Reviews
Planet of the Eyes makes for a brief but compelling sci-fi puzzle-platformer.
For those that go into it with a co-op partner and with the knowledge that its design is as unforgiving as it is beautiful, it will be a unique and rewarding game. Always unabating but never unfair, Cuphead is tough to overcome but even tougher to put down.
We'll know if The Enemy Within is a truly memorable Telltale product if they can avoid their middle episode valley, but for now, it remains worth getting into costume.
Raiders of the Broken Planet is a game that can be fun, but only if a number of prerequisites are met.
For anyone who still plays the games with glee every November, Call of Duty: WWII is a better-late-than-never return to the series' roots.
If they can trust themselves to focus on the stronger points like this romance and not sell out to hit some punches thrown quota, this season could feel uniquely different than other Batman stories.
In so many ways, Battlefront II is exactly what fans want it to be. It finally feels like the games so many cherished from many years ago. It's hard to ignore the problems caused by purchased Star Cards, but if the creators can find a way to fix the system so that it is fair for everyone, what will remain is one of the year's best video games and a Star Wars experience for the ages... but again, that's a big "if."
SOMA is a good horror game that does most things well, but more than that, it is an exceptional science fiction tale that no genre fan should miss.
When simple tasks like reliably picking up and using or placing items are clunky, it's a good sign that the skeletons in the closet aren't worth discovering.
Night in the Woods is a refreshing take on the adventure genre.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an early narrative adventure game that outdoes some of its later counterparts in ambition.
They could still turn it around with a memorable finale. Maybe this episode's most vital maneuver is to have cleared some of Batman's — and Telltale's — path to success.
Mutant Football League faithfully recreates the arcade football games of decades past in almost every way.
With very few caveats, Wulverblade is an exceptional game that no genre fan should miss.
Asemblance is the type of game worth rooting for because it dares to try things in its own unique way.
Diehard fans of tuning and tweaking cars may enjoy a half dozen hours or so here, but for most people, Drift Zone is simply an unremarkable experience that makes a strong case for curation of the Xbox digital storefront.
Past Cure is a game that tries to do too much at once to the extent that it ends up doing none of it well.
It doesn't show or say anything that other science fiction tales haven't shown or told already, but if you're relatively new to the genre or don't mind rehashing previous themes, The Station is worth its short stay.
If they can deliver a worthwhile story over the remaining four episodes, The Council may go down as the new benchmark for narrative adventure games.
For most players, Mulaka will be a familiar gameplay experience structured around something wholly new and enriching in every other way.
