Jason Stettner's Reviews
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is expansive, lengthy and filled with creative challenges for those that want to use the environment to their advantage.
Ravenlok is a charming, cute and visually impressive little adventure that welcomes all types of players.
Redfall is an empty mess, an embarrassment of the Xbox platform and a completely mundane exercise in insanity.
Dead Island 2 is a bloody good time for the most part, but lacks the sense of scale I had anticipated in a sequel despite there being such a gap in time.
Minecraft Legends offers simple, yet decently complex enough real time strategy combat where players are free to build and attack within a dynamic world.
Pocket Witch is a tad minimal in terms of length, but it does make up for that with a decent level of platforming challenge and a slightly cute vibe.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is an enjoyable, easy going platformer that does bring the benefit of four player coop action.
Wanted: Dead is perhaps too ambitious, at times punching above its weight while mostly missing the mark and also being brutally difficult at times.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare II delivers what could be the best multiplayer of the series since the original entry in the Modern Warfare franchise, while providing a very safe and almost disappointing campaign to its side.
Dead Space 2023 is one of the most effective remakes I’ve seen, improving upon the original vision for the game while retaining that initial style that was ever so effective.
Hi-Fi Rush is an absolute blast nailing almost every beat along the way to its smooth rhythm filled conclusion.
High on Life is a quirky, straight up bizarre shooter that provides a relaxing and at times comedic experience.
The Callisto Protocol had some performance issues, but at its core just wasn’t a great game lacking exciting moments or well anything even remotely scary. I was never entertained while playing this game; finding it boring, cumbersome and honestly rather traumatic but not in a terrified sense which is a shame.
Somerville is an intriguing, sometimes thought provoking venture that while initially mysterious ultimately ends up being a bit bland dragged down by a lack of polish and performance issues.
Pentiment is a masterpiece, I’ve never played such a unique game. It combines traditional classic RPG stylings with modern game mechanics for such a perfect interactive atmosphere.
God of War Ragnarok delivers a remarkable continuation from 2018 in a narrative that centers itself on dynamics of family and relationships alongside the growth you witness as time goes on.
A Plague Tale: Requiem delivers an impressive improvement upon the already incredible entry that preceded it. You get a well structured narrative that delivers.
EA Sports NHL 23 is the safest and most minimally upgraded entry they’ve ever done in the series.
Kirby's Dream Buffet is a scrumptious trip through eating the calorie filled deserts in life, but alas may feel somewhat light for those wanting something deeper.
Way of the Hunter provides some well balanced hunting mechanics that make it enticing, while at the same time failing to really deliver a satisfying next generation world.
