Michael Elliott's Reviews
Yooka-Laylee is simply a great quality platformer with few technical issues, a distinct presentation and a wacky world to run around in.
Screencheat only has a thin veil of content, containing only the multiplayer modes, a quick time trials mode, and some unlockable ragdoll's, but for $15 you're getting an extremely witty and lighthearted party game.
Zenzizenzic is a must-buy for any fans of the twin-stick shooter genre.
For everything that RymdResa is and isn't, it's a beautiful game.
Forza Horizon 3 is exactly what a sequel is supposed to be, and then some. A phenomenal follow-up to Forza Horizon 2 that takes what's best about the series and improves them. The visual are unmatched by anything else on Xbox, the multiplayer is seamless and extremely social ,and the community and customization features are extensive. Despite some potential server issues, Forza Horizon 3 is an extremely happy and expansive experience that has yet to get old.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a wildly enjoyable title that is guaranteed to scare all but the most heartless players.
Headlander is a unexpected but pleasant title that has rekindled my interest in 2D side-scrollers. The title is both familiar and wholly unique, and the main mechanic of Headlanding is entertaining and intuitive. A sleek and stylistic design matched with an incredible attention to detail more than make up for any frustrations with the game’s combat or puzzles.
Resident Evil 2 is equal parts terrifying, satisfying and interesting.
Total War: Warhammer just feels right in most every way, even if it can get slow or frustrating at times. Despite a few annoying caveats and some performance issues, most of the game's features are enjoyable, enticing and immersive.
A Fistful of Gun is the perfect game if you want to experience a retro title with modern perks and quality.
Prison Architect is a solid title with an engaging premise and an enjoyable campaign that can last as long as 6 hours or more.
Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is an extremely well-made and enjoyable RTS title.
Lawbreakers is a great game, both in terms of its construction and its gameplay.
Glitchspace is truly a one of a kind game that takes the best of games like Portal and puts its own spin on it.
The wretched drought of The Taken King is over, and guardians everywhere have dusted off their copies of Destiny. Destiny: Rise of Iron is finally here, and it does not disappoint.
Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII delivers the same tactile experience that it always has across three enticing modes.
Aside from some launch issues, Destiny 2: Forsaken is everything that it needs to be and more.
Dragon Ball Xenoverse is a game for fans of the show, fighting games and MMOs alike. Although some elements are technologically challenged or more or less average, this game is enjoyable. With fleshed out leveling, combat and skill systems, Dragon Ball Xenoverse can keep you engaged for months to come.
I Am Bread is a goofy, buggy, physics adventure that shows the determination of a piece of bread to become toast. With multiple ways to play and solve the games many puzzles, I Am Bread can easily entertain for hours. Unfortunately, clunky controls, difficulty spikes and unintentional bugs can make the experience unbearable at times.
But aside from some pretty sights and a mostly good storyline, this open world sandbox is disappointingly empty, and makes for a poor explosion simulator thanks to some seriously annoying frame rate problems.
