Mark Delaney's Reviews
Asemblance is the type of game worth rooting for because it dares to try things in its own unique way.
With very few caveats, Wulverblade is an exceptional game that no genre fan should miss.
Mutant Football League faithfully recreates the arcade football games of decades past in almost every way.
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.
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter is an early narrative adventure game that outdoes some of its later counterparts in ambition.
Night in the Woods is a refreshing take on the adventure genre.
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.
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.
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."
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.
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.
Raiders of the Broken Planet is a game that can be fun, but only if a number of prerequisites are met.
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.
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.
Planet of the Eyes makes for a brief but compelling sci-fi puzzle-platformer.
If this is truly the last chapter, Death of the Outsider cements Dishonored as one of the best new franchises of the last ten years and places it among the most consistent trilogies ever seen in video games.
The singular lasting impression of Don't Knock Twice is one of bewilderment that it somehow exists at all.
The question at the heart of a new sports game in an annualized series is twofold: What does it do for yearly players and what does it do for those who may have been away for a while? If you haven't played in a few years, this year's Madden makes for a good time to jump in with the most diverse game modes ever on offer.
The first episode of Batman: The Enemy Within is yet another great debut that does most of the things you'd want it to do.
Most aspects of the game come with caveats, but none of them go to lengths that unforgivably diminish its entertainment value. Fans of local or online multiplayer games, especially those that can be as casual or competitive as you want them to be, owe it to themselves to check out Infinite Minigolf.
