Dangerous Driving definitely has the spirit of Burnout, but it doesn’t exactly execute it in the way you’d want.

Sekiro is an immensely satisfying game that sees a studio people started to think as a one-trick pony, flex their muscles by taking what they’re good at and doing something wildly different and engaging.

Fueled by an absolutely killer soundtrack, Hell is Other Demons is a frenetic action-packed game that’ll have you telling yourself “just one more run” as you chase that high-score.

3 / 5 - Crackdown 3
Mar 8, 2019

Against all expectations, Crackdown 3 managed to survive where others from that same E3 2014 show like Scalebound and Phantom Dust failed to see the light of day, but what we got was just a shinier version of a 2007 game.

3.5 / 5.0 - Dead or Alive 6
Mar 1, 2019

Dead or Alive 6 isn’t going to shake up the fighting game scene, but it’s good for some quick fun and a very accessible entry point for newcomers to the genre.

As someone who got to go see an actual supercross race, the game just didn’t grab me like the real thing did, but this is a product that’s 100% not made for me. Honestly, you probably already knew whether or not you were going to love this game before you even read this review.

2 / 5 - Just Cause 4
Jan 8, 2019

Even ignoring the massive technical faults, Just Cause 4 just isn’t fun to play.

5 / 5 - DUSK
Dec 10, 2018

Dusk captures the essence of those 90s shooters you grew up playing and adds enough new to not only set itself apart, but also stand toe-to-toe with those giants.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterclass in game design.

4.5 / 5.0 - Hitman 2
Nov 12, 2018

Hitman 2, while feeling more like “Season 2” than a full blown sequel (and likely was internally) is still a hard package to pass up when you’re getting more of what’s easily the best iteration in the series

4.5 / 5.0 - Wandersong

Wandersong is easily the most wholesome, heartwarming game about friendship you’ll play all year.

2.5 / 5.0 - Donut County
Sep 7, 2018

The entire tone and aesthetic of the game is something that’s so far up my alley, but at the end of the day Donut County is a charming game that maybe promises more quirky thrills than it delivers.

2 / 5 - We Happy Few
Aug 31, 2018

At the end of the day, We Happy Few neither succeeds as a survival game nor as a plot driven adventure game.

Jurassic World Evolution is a serviceable game in the genre and the dinosaurs look absolutely stunning, but some highly questionable design decisions really hold back what could have been the next greatest park simulator.

Congratulations Shaq Fu apologists, your sequel game delivered. We’re working on monkey paw rules however, so that means Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn only delivered on being a competent game instead of a good one.

1.5 / 5.0 - Agony

Very rarely do you get a game whose title accurately describes how it feels to play it.

3 / 5 - Extinction
Apr 10, 2018

Killing giant monsters in games is always fun, and Extinction has created a solid foundation for a great game. It’s just that what’s here isn’t much to justify its high price tag considering how much of an afterthought the campaign is and how all the other game-modes are practically identical.

Sea of Thieves can be a complete blast to play with your friends but a lack of content, an almost disastrous launch laden with server issues and some highly questionable design decisions makes what should have been the ultimate pirate game into a complete and utter disappointment.

Despite an abundance of bugs and some minor quibbles, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a fantastic game whose issues can unfortunately be made even worse from a frustratingly atrocious save system.

3.5 / 5.0 - Crossing Souls
Feb 12, 2018

Crossing Souls is a love letter to the 80’s with a charming cast of characters that’s unfortunately held back by weak combat mechanics.
