Andrew Otton's Reviews
The Banner Saga 3 is a fantastic end to one of gaming's best trilogies. The enthralling writing and engaging combat combine into one of the most satisfying gaming experiences to be had.
Aegis Defenders fuses two genres seamlessly, providing one of the best tower defense experiences in years.
All of the parts of A Case of Distrust almost come together for an amazing adventure experience. Unfortunately, the all-important plot is too familiar to be wholly engaging.
The story's fast pace takes away some weight from the big events in the story, but Book 2 still delivers an engrossing experience.
Super Mario Odyssey will easily rank as one of the best Mario games ever made. It's pure fun, plain and simple.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is South Park at its best backed up by gameplay that would stand on its own in any other game.
If you like a slower story more about political intrigue wrapped up in a great presentation, you'll love The Pillars of the Earth.
The Surge has great gameplay and wonderful levels to get lost in as you run around throwing limbs about and destroying robots.
Horizon Zero Dawn is great game design wrapped up in one of the best AAA packages put out to date.
An intriguing concept hindered by too much going on. There are plenty of details throughout, but few received the attention they deserved.
An easy Game of the Year contender, Inside is an example of game design executed near perfectly.
Blood and Wine is what all expansions should aspire to be, is the perfect send-off for the series, and should be loved by anyone who enjoyed the base game.
A game full of interesting ideas but lacks the execution.
An above average narrative, excellent dialogue, and wonderful pacing should make Firewatch enjoyable to any adventure fan.
The Ice Dragon mistakes shock and surprise for engaging material. Combined with the typical Telltale technical woes, it leaves behind an underwhelming experience.
Season 1 can be defined by its misused and poorly executed potential, leaving behind something a little better than average.
While it stumbles in some places, Hearts of Stone is better than the vast majority of "additional content" that most modern games offer.
A Nest of Vipers has some shortcomings but is an overall solid episode, leaving behind a good amount of potential for what should be a climactic ending.
The Witcher 3 is one of those games that both meets expectations in most areas and surpasses it in some, leaving behind one of those games that will have a huge impact on all of gaming.
Game of Thrones Episode 4 will assuredly keep many players engaged and does a great job of creating the potential for an interesting and/or satisfying end.
