Eric Frederiksen's Reviews
This gorgeous game has little to offer in the way of fun.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is bigger, better... and smaller?
Play at your own risk. There are some amazing sights to see and some weird, hilarious creatures. But you’re getting a half-finished game along with it.
As Doom returns, will you want to go to hell, or just stay home?
There's a cool little game somewhere in here, but I couldn't get past my frustration to find it.
Series director Hidetaka Miyazaki has returned to bring the series to a close. Can he recapture the magic of the original Dark Souls?
When we're coming up on the end of the year, I don't think the game is going to win any awards for best game or best writing. Ultimately, it's not a Great game, with a capital G. It's a really good one, and it's a lot of fun.
Far Cry Primal takes the series back. Way, way back. Is it enough to revive a stale concept?
Layers of Fear will try over and over to scare you. You might jump, but you'll sleep just fine.
Fallout 4 offers a whole lot of game for $60. It's a fantastic adventure into the wasteland, and it's packed with diverse content.
Can Rise of the Tomb Raider reach the standards set by its impressive predecessor?
Rock Band 4 is a mix of some new and a lot of old. That's not a bad thing.
Uncharted's compilation transcends simple remasters with attention to artistic and technical detail.
It's an interesting experience that shows at the same time how Frictional is trying to break out of their mold but simultaneously held back by it, and I hope they can stretch out even further the next time around.
If you like fast cars — any kind of fast cars — then Forza Motorsport 6 is where you need to be.
Media Molecule's papercraft world made the jump from PS Vita to PlayStation 4 in style.
I really enjoyed my time with Until Dawn, and I'm itching to replay it. In many ways, it reminds me of Quantic Dream games like Heavy Rain, except it works and works very well. It respects its characters and the player while offering those same kind of immersive cinematic experience those games went for. If you're a horror fan, Until Dawn is a must-play. It's a love letter and a fresh creation of its own and worth seeking out.
When the games of this fall start rolling out, we're going to have plenty of opportunities to shoot, stab, and blow up everything we can get our crosshairs on. For now, exploring a sunlit village in Shropshire, England feels like a good, short diversion.
If already bought the game, though, there's nothing new here – just the updated game and assembled DLC. Aside from the visual improvements, this is the same game it was on PlayStation 3, for better or worse.
Not a Hero shows us that Roll7 didn't just hit on a lucky concept with OlliOlli but rather seems to have found a niche for themselves making funny, colorful, and precise action games.
