Elias Blondeau's Reviews

Freelance critic, part-time blogger, full-time nerd. I like ranting about stuff, and I'm occasionally funny.

There’s pretty much no reason to buy In Space We Brawl

Held back only by a somewhat poorly optimized release, BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Extend is a fun, deep fighter with lots of fun to be had for any type of player.

There’s definitely some fun, entertaining stuff here, but to be frank, there are better, cheaper games out there, with more to do and more to see.

9 / 10.0 - Nights of Azure
Apr 8, 2016

Nights of Azure overcomes its tropes and the occasional bit of fan service with a heaping helping of content, stylistic panache, and one of the most memorable gaming narratives in recent memory.

The Flame in the Flood squanders a novel idea and fantastic aesthetic with mind-numbing repetition and a broken sense of progression.

A lack of a total visual overall barely detracts from the fact that Valkyria Chronicles Remastered is a total bargain, and the definitive version of the best in strategy

Langrisser Re:Incarnation –Tensei- clearly wants to ape Fire Emblem’s newfound success, and while it sometimes falls flat on its face, it’s still a deep, engaging strategy game with enough there for genre fans to dig into.

6 / 10.0 - Capsule Force
May 18, 2016

A novel aesthetic and solid core gameplay go to waste in Capsule Force, thanks to a woeful lack of content and no online functionality.

5 / 10.0 - POSTAL Redux
Jun 2, 2016

Postal Redux is a mediocre letdown for series fans, with nothing to say and very little incentive to play it.

Mirror's Edge Catalyst is a fun yet uninspired sequel to one of EA's most inspired titles, and a title that has no clear idea what it wants to be.

VA-11 Hall-A is a funny, thought-provoking, and sometimes tragic work of art, with truly original gameplay and a beautiful aesthetic unlike anything else on the market.

9 / 10.0 - Wasted
Jun 23, 2016

A clever take on two worn genres, Wasted is a funny and addictive genre hybrid that has scores of content at a low price point.

8 / 10.0 - K Station
Jul 5, 2016

K Station is an intriguing sci-fi mystery that uses archaic mechanics to say something important about the fickleness of human memory.

- Furi
Jul 5, 2016

Despite a niggling complaint or two about the overall structure, there is very little to dislike about Furi. It is, no doubt, a truly original title. I won’t soon forget my time with its anthropomorphized desk lamps, time-bending old geezers, and deceptive bunny people. I suspect other people craving something new and unique will feel the same.

A painfully bland story and dull characters don’t stop Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE from being a novel and fun role-playing experience for fans of the genre.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven is a joyless, uninspired adaptation of one of manga’s most joyful, inspired titles, and one of the flattest gaming experiences of the year.

2 / 10.0 - 7 Days to Die
Jul 8, 2016

7 Days To Die is a retail release of an alpha build of an Early Access game, and a downright scummy thing for Telltale to market as a finished product.

Unlike an actual dragon, 7th Dragon III Code VFD might not set the world on fire, but JRPG lovers should give it a chance all the same. There’s a lot to do and sink your teeth into, and it’s a perfect game to show to people who might find these sorts of games too daunting.

onster Hunter Generations manages to both stick to its guns and evolve the franchise, leading to a game that will both please fans and entice newcomers to the hunt.

3.5 / 10.0 - MilitAnt
Jul 18, 2016

MilitAnt is about as exhilarating as frying an ant with a magnifying glass, and about as cruel to people who play it.
