Tomas Franzese's Reviews
Soulstice's terrible camera holds back an otherwise ambitious and inspired action game.
Madden NFL 23 is an improved game when compared to Madden NFL 22, but that isn't enough to make it good.
Saints Row is a perfectly fine open-world game. Just don't expect any surprises, as the reboot lacks much character.
MultiVersus feels like a corporate product, but Player First Games gets the most out of its ridiculous premise.
As Dusk Falls is an atypical narrative adventure game with a compelling story about family.
Kao the Kangaroo is a fun 3D platformer franchise revival with solid platforming and less-than-solid narrative.
Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has lots of ambition but lacks focus.
Final Fantasy Origin will enthrall players with its dumb, but awesome story and approachable Soulslike gameplay.
Gran Turismo 7 lives up to its "real driving simulator" tagline by offering a comprehensive and educational racing game.
Grid Legends' Driven to Glory story misses more than it hits, but this is an otherwise solid, if unambitious, racing game.
OlliOlli World delivers beautiful, fast-paced, and captivating skateboarding fun.
Rainbow Six Extraction's ridiculous plot and repetitive nature prevent the experimental spinoff from achieving its full potential.
Brilliant Diamond lacks ambition and will frustrate fans of Pokémon Platinum more than it pleases. Still, an extremely faithful classic Pokémon remake might be just what we need before Game Freak wildly changes up the formula with 2022’s Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
It can’t match Forza Horizon 4 in terms of innovations, but Forza Horizon 5 introduces a more varied open-world structure in one of the most visually stunning experiences of this new console generation — perhaps ever.
Back 4 Blood' has the best water-cooler moments of any game released in 2021.
If you’re willing to overlook the bloated combat, you’ll find a lot to love in this macabre adventure about the bond between sisters.
True Colors features an engaging story with relatable characters — and a superpower that’s far cooler than you’d expect.
Even if you are a newcomer to the series, Psychonauts 2 is an excellent standalone 3D platformer, with the most creative level design since Super Mario Odyssey.
Fans demanded a sequel for years, and New Pokémon Snap highlights why: at its core, this is the perfect concept for a Pokémon spinoff.
The cat’s out of the bag: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a must-play for Nintendo Switch owners — and it might just be the redeemer of the downtrodden Wii U.
