Michael Elliott's Reviews
At its worst, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is mediocre, and was quite often enjoyable during my time to play, but ultimately fails to fulfill the potential of a truly original Call of Duty title.
Shiny is an obviously underdeveloped game created by an inexperienced team.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a wildly enjoyable title that is guaranteed to scare all but the most heartless players.
Torment: Tides of Numenera is a complex beast. Many of its parts are well-done and the core of the game is solid, many other elements are less than stellar, especially on the Xbox One.
Aside from a few graphical improvements and mechanical tweaks, not much has changed. Sadly, a lack of true originality and asymmetry makes this sequel just a tad weaker than its prequel.
Yooka-Laylee is simply a great quality platformer with few technical issues, a distinct presentation and a wacky world to run around in.
Agents of Mayhem feels more akin to an arcade game or standalone DLC than a full release.
Lawbreakers is a great game, both in terms of its construction and its gameplay.
Aside from some launch issues, Destiny 2: Forsaken is everything that it needs to be and more.
Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII delivers the same tactile experience that it always has across three enticing modes.
Overkill’s The Walking Dead is often faithful to the series in all the worst ways.
Resident Evil 2 is equal parts terrifying, satisfying and interesting.
Many of the individual aspects of Anthem work well. The world of Bastion is gorgeous, the graphical fidelity is truly next level, and no game has done flight quite as well as this one. Unfortunately, when mashed together in a rough looter shooter, these great aspects of the game are hidden away and replaced with a slow and frustrating experience riddled with technical and balancing issues and a simply average story doesn’t make up for any of it.
