Mark Delaney's Reviews
Variable State rejects one-hit-wonder status with its long-awaited follow-up, Last Stop, a game that feels equal parts arthouse and blockbuster.
Where The Heart Leads is a unique game that chronicles a family's entire life together, spanning generations and decades. It's ambitious, albeit flawed, but certainly interesting.
Watch Dogs: Legion Bloodlines brings familiar faces to new places, and if you can stand the tonal in-fighting, it's a worthwhile, occasionally daring story-driven adventure.
Alba: A Wildlife Adventure wonderfully recontextualizes the video game sandbox as a wholesome call to action.
Whereas so many modern indie horror games can feel like on-rails haunted hayrides, Song of Horror keeps players on their toes.
Though it shows its age in spots, Mass Effect is still as mesmerizing today as it ever was. The Legendary Edition is a fully-featured revival of one of gaming's greatest stories.
Days Gone received a lukewarm reception when it released for PS4, but the brilliant PC port will give new life to a game about a dying world.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Wrath of the Druids review: This Ubisoft DLC delivers more of what players loved, now in Ireland, and that's it.
MLB The Show is now multiplatform, so more players can see what makes it one of the best annual sports sims in the world.
Forgotten Fields is a flawed, sometimes frustrating experience, but its best moments are authentic and relatable enough to still make the journey worthwhile.
Ashwalkers tells an open-ended story the right way, mixing equal parts agency and powerlessness, hope and despair.
Telling a gut-punch of a story with novel gameplay mechanics is no small feat, and Before Your Eyes marvelously delivers on both fronts.
It Takes Two is the culmination of a decade of novel co op gaming ideas, and that makes it one of 2021's best games no matter what else comes out.
Dead Age 2 tries to rise above other games in the zombie survival genre, but while it does some things well, it does others quite poorly.
For RBI Baseball 21 to launch in such a poor state with MLB The Show going multiplatform is like seeing your favorite team sit on a pile of cash as a division rival forms an all-star team.
For a game that's all about finding closure in our lives, Maquette makes it exceptionally difficult to get to its end credits.
PixelJunk Raiders is the latest Stadia exclusive to introduce some cool features built for the platform, but its alien world leaves too much to be desired.
Control was one of 2019's best games, with the only pervasive issue being that consoles couldn't always run the ambitious game so well. That's all changed.
The Medium is less survival-horror and more adventure-horror like the studio's past games, but so long as Bloober Team is still refining this style, the team is clearly getting better.
Hitman 3 brings to a close one of gaming's great trilogies with one last display of immaculate level design and intoxicating mood from IO Interactive.
