Aaron Riccio's Reviews
Because creativity comes at the cost of cohesion, the whole adventure turns into one irritating mini-game.
It shouldn't be cutting corners, and it's silly that the four major zones are all still so faded, dull, and repetitious.
The game allows players to learn and wonder at all the symbolism at their own pace, to draw their own conclusions.
Both Klaus and the game are clones in search of higher sentience, and they both get there in the end.
Instead of improving upon the original game's basic mechanics, this remaster instead indulges in fan service.
This revival of the 2003 cult classic is a rhythm game driven by the synesthetic idea of physically interacting with sound.
The game can be enjoyable, but the barrier to entry is so high that it's hard to recommend.
When Darksiders II sticks to the actual essentials of the main story and not its so-called Deathinitive features, it's a solid action-adventure-RPG hybrid.
The game is filled to the brim with content, most of it disappointingly or needlessly executed.
It's weird to say that Fallout 4 operates under the principle that less is more, since its vision of Boston is dotted with hundreds of hours of things to do.
It's the mix of the mundane and the mercurial that makes Life Is Strange worth living.
Tales of Zestiria relies entirely upon its entertaining, colorful cast of characters to distract players from anything even remotely tedious or derivative.
Jackbox Games' Jackbox Party Pack 2 is a disappointingly sophomoric sequel, and in every sense of the word.
Gil Scott-Heron had it wrong, at least when it came to music: The revolution most certainly will be televised.
The Rock Band 4 experience is little more than an expensive new coat of paint.
[I]t's disappointing that Penarium feels so fatigued and repetitious by the third and final act, especially since it's scarcely even a two-hour game.
There are still plenty of thorns, but it manages to address and improve nearly every aspect of the original 1.0 release.
An impressive epic, even if it falls several steps shy of the open-world grandeur realized by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
If Tearaway was a diamond in the rough world of Vita gaming, it's an exceedingly polished masterpiece on the PS4.
It lives up to its title, as players will be glued to it all night, exhilaratingly racing to one of the many potential endings.
