Mark Delaney's Reviews

Mark is an editor at GameSpot and a Boston transplant now biking across Portland, Oregon. He especially enjoys covering battle royale, horror, and sports games. He spends his free time with his family, marathoning HBO, and advocating for animal justice.

This Is The Zodiac Speaking salvages a faulty setup by offering a secondary story mode that is much more enjoyable to play than its main draw.

The Mafia franchise again presents one of the medium's best-written stories, though the series still stumbles on building something special around that story.

Like an early card match at a pay-per-view event, WWE 2K Battlegrounds is meant to keep the crowd entertained before the main event re-enters the arena, but it's rarely as flashy or fun as its concept implies.

3 / 10 stars - Marvel's Avengers
Sep 9, 2020

Marvel's Avengers is the most broken gaming experience in 2020, and even if it was polished, it would be severely flawed.

9 / 10 stars - Control: AWE
Aug 31, 2020

The final piece of the Control story brilliantly bridges the mystery-filled gap between itself and Alan Wake while paving the way for so much more.

The series' most stylish entry ever thanks to The Yard and player customization, but these new features come without the substance required to contend for football glory.

Nothing else has ever paired high tension with complete silliness like this, and Fall Guys reveals we should've been doing it a long time ago

6 / 10 stars - Maid of Sker
Jul 28, 2020

Maid of Sker carries a proper tune in its story and setting, but faulty AI leaves much of this horror story feeling flat.

7 / 10 stars - Rocket Arena
Jul 20, 2020

In the ever-shifting hero shooter genre, Rocket Arena makes a name for itself as the family-friendliest of the bunch without sacrificing its competitive spirit.

Though its name offers no way around it, the creative ways you dispatching foes makes Orcs Must Die 3 perhaps the most addictive Stadia exclusive to date.

7 / 10 stars - Disintegration
Jun 16, 2020

Disintegration comes from the co-creator of Halo, but don't let that lead you to think this is a typical FPS. It's a satisfying but flawed genre-bender that usually capitalizes on its risks.

3 / 10 stars - Summer in Mara
Jun 15, 2020

Summer in Mara looks lovely right away, but the shine wears off quickly amid a long list of issues, both fixable and sadly, not fixable.

The Outer Worlds is one of 2019's best games. On Switch in 2020, it's still pretty great, even if it is in some ways inferior to its counterparts.

5 / 10 stars - Those Who Remain
Jun 3, 2020

Those Who Remain won't stay with you for long, but with some good scares and a story that twists more than I expected, it's a decent horror story for an evening.

In 2020, Mafia 2 is a game greater than the sum of its parts. It shows its age in several areas, and though flawed, it still has its merits.

Saints Row 3 is mechanically the best the series has ever been, and narratively the worst it's ever been, leaving this born-too-late remaster a mixed bag.

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners would be a great game even if it wasn't in VR.

9 / 10 stars - Super Mega Baseball 3
May 12, 2020

Super Mega Baseball has never been given the accolades it's deserved, but this is the year baseball fans will finally notice this all-star.

Get Packed is strangely not the only indie co-op arcade game about moving furniture to launch recently, but it ends up standing out with its own kind of hilarious chaos.

7 / 10 stars - Dread Nautical
Apr 29, 2020

Dread Nautical has the unenviable position of following two genre giants that moved into its launch window, but it holds its own as a worthy opening act.
