Dan Stapleton's Reviews
We knew this wasn't going to end in happiness for the Forresters - if it had, I'd be crying foul that it didn't feel like Game of Thrones at all. The problem is that sense of inevitability mixes with the lack of resolution for major parts of the plot in an unappealing way. Most of what this uneven season finale has to offer is found in a few strong moments and continued hope for answers to questions in a hypothetical season 2.
The world, exploration, crafting, atmosphere, and story of Fallout 4 are all key parts of this hugely successful sandbox role-playing game. Great new reasons to obsessively gather and hoard relics of happier times, strong companions, and sympathetic villains driving tough decisions make it an adventure I'll definitely replay and revisit. Even the technical shakiness that crops up here and there can't even begin to slow down its momentum.
Kingdom initially impresses with striking pixel art and minimalist design, but later it proves complexity is necessary.
Cinematic starship combat and a (final) frontier atmosphere give Rebel Galaxy a great hook.
It may seem ungrateful to be unenthusiastic about a content pack of miscellaneous upgrades, but the strongest reason to recommend this DLC is to say thank you to Colossal Order and Paradox for the great stuff we got for free in patches. There's plenty here, and some of it can give your city a little more regional flavor, but none of it stands out as a must-have feature that refreshes how Cities: Skylines plays. Instead, it serves as a reminder to return to this great city builder and see how it's improved since you played it last.
Game of Thrones Episode 5 takes a turn south with some out-of-character portrayals and lack of forward momentum.
Don't blink, or you'll miss the Batgirl: A Matter of Family DLC. There's just not enough here to get excited about.
Massive Chalice's aggressive tactical combat would be stronger without so many opportunities to lose due to bad luck.
Batman: Arkham Knight is an impressive game on almost every level, with non-stop variety and great action.
You don't have to think outside the box to solve Magnetic: Cage Closed's puzzles, but there are a few head-scratchers.
Game of Thrones: Episode 4 - Sons of Winter delivers a dose of of the action we've all been waiting for.
Invisible Inc's randomized and repeatable sci-fi heists create one tough, risky tactical decision after another.
Early excitement and newfound purpose puts Telltale's Game of Thrones back on track in Episode 3.
Sid Meier's Starships produces a few good tactical battles before its AI loses steam and its strategy gets frustrating.
Cities: Skylines is all about building huge, bustling cities, but they don't need us to save them from disaster.
Playing as The Bright Lord Celebrimbor isn't bad, but it's a big step away from what makes Shadow of Mordor special.
Gearbox gives Homeworld the respect it deserves in this impressive refitting of Relic's classic
The Lost Lords neglects to advance the Forresters' story in meaningful ways as it introduces new characters.
Game of Thrones Ep 1: Iron from Ice is a strong start for Telltale's adventure in George R. R. Martin's fantasy world.
The creepy-cute dungeons of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth are amazingly different and challenging every time.
