Diego Escala's Reviews
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a shining jewel in the series and an exciting, and much needed, surprise from Ubisoft.
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon easily has some of the series’ best highs, and is a proper return to form for the franchise.
Fans of musicals are going to find a lot to love with Stray Gods and I’m excited to see future games go even further with the idea.
WrestleQuest is a delightful game that captures the essence of wrestling in RPG form.
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons is a fantastic addition to the series with some of its most satisfying combat yet.
Diablo 4 has bursts of genuine fun in its oppressively gothic world, but as well-made as the entire thing is, it just ends up feeling incredibly sanitized and safe for what’s supposed to be the grand return of the franchise.
The vibes in Sludge Life 2 are immaculate and grimy, but like before I just wish it fleshed itself out some more.
While there’s some mindless fun to be had here for Warhammer enthusiasts, Warhammer 40k: Boltgun is a perfectly passable entry in the genre that maybe relies a bit too much on its IP than trying to do something new.
Bursting with wholesome charm, Tinykin is one of the most delightful games I’ve played in years.
Return to Castlevania is a lovingly crafted expansion for Dead Cells that fans of both games shouldn’t miss out on.
Dead Space is a phenomenal way to relive the original, or a great starting point for those new to the series.
Despite the questionably tasteless tone its narrative takes at times, there’s a lot of fun to be had with Atomic Heart.
Warhammer 40k: Darktide is hard to recommend, even a month after release. There’s a good game here, but it’s burdened by issues I’m sure will be fixed after a few major updates; the only question is whether or not you’re willing to deal with it until then.
High On Life is easily one of the funniest games I’ve played in a while and is a great game to close the year out with.
Pentiment is probably the most interesting, uninteresting game I’ve ever played.
If you’re hungry for a meaty action game to sink your teeth in, you’ll have a hell of a time with Evil West.
Ooblets is an immediately charming game with its whimsical cast of characters, that does enough different in the genre to help keep you wanting to check back into it when the mood strikes.
Dome Keeper’s loop is instantly addictive and is a damn great game to play on the couch.
Eyes in the Dark doesn’t shake up the genre, but it doesn’t need to. It’s a really fun, casual roguelike to jump into for a few quick runs with a really cute artstyle and nifty gameplay gimmicks.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge is the successor to Turtles in Time I’ve been waiting my entire life for. Its only fault is that I wish there was more of it; Shredder’s Revenge offers a single slice of pizza when I want the entire pie.
