Patrick Perrault's Reviews
While The Dwarves is an excellent story-based experience, the gameplay surrounding it serves to quickly sour most of the enjoyment that can be found, and most fans would be better off rereading the books.
Yooka-Laylee is a fun game, but its controls, plot and somewhat plentiful bugs hamper the experience. 3D platformer veterans will find something to like here, but others might be turned off.
StarCraft remains a title that excels nearly twenty years later. A few technical and aged related quirks aside, this will probably be the best RTS released this year. If you call yourself an RTS fan, this is a must buy.
If you can handle the mobile-inspired interface and lacking set of options, D&D Lords of Waterdeep offers a compelling experience for those who enjoy board games.
Dungeons 3 is a title that toes the line between nostalgia and gameplay almost perfectly, although at times its humor becomes self-indulgent to the point of exasperation. Non-existent multiplayer population and bugs aside, Dungeons 3's campaign has enough going for it that it's worth a look.
Spellforce 3 is a great RTS held back by its bugs and a seemingly rushed release. Pick it up only if you are looking for a great single-player campaign.
If you are a diehard Warhammer 40K fan or desperately need a ARPG, proceed very cautiously. Everyone else can safely avoid this title, as it does nothing that hasn't been seen before.
