Mark Delaney's Reviews
Earthfall is a decent try at filling the Left 4 Dead 3 hole in our hearts, but it's rarely strong enough to be anything other than a lesser imitation of that classic series.
All-Star Fruit Racing is as sweet as its name implies.
In an age of remasters that don't always feel earned, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is one for which fans have been rightfully clamoring. Vicarious Visions' recreations are simply stunning.
The bugs are annoying and the voice acting is just about as bad sometimes, but the open world crimefighting, Pixar cameos, and perfect pairing of these two brands makes LEGO The Incredibles a fun family game, even if it's not quite super.
With old-school design comes both nostalgia and frustration. It knows that and it's surprisingly proud of that. It's clearly made with a lot of love for the genre. If you're nostalgic for such games too, there's really not much to dislike, but neither is there anything new to behold.
You won't feel especially storied playing out the sparse career mode, but if you need a modern tennis sim with strong on-court gameplay, AO Tennis is an ace.
The best-case scenario for Agony is that patches fix the many technical problems plaguing this game right now.
It's the most realistic zombie apocalypse simulation in the world and that's a beautiful thing.
"Hide and Seek" confirms The Council is more than a one-hit wonder.
Through The Woods is a horror game that delivers some good scares, just not really in the way that was intended.
Forgotton Anne has the potential to be an eye-opening experience for some players.
Senua is a remarkable character who instills all of her energies into the player in such a way that will never be forgotten.
They might be giants, but they're definitely boring.
If you enjoyed the season up to this point, The Enemy Within's finale is an unexceptional but solid conclusion.
Sea of Thieves is all journey with no real destination, but if that doesn't immediately turn you away, it'll be a pirates life for you.
For most players, Mulaka will be a familiar gameplay experience structured around something wholly new and enriching in every other way.
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.
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.
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.
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.
