Jonathan White's Reviews

IT guy by day, game critic by night. Fueled by anger and electronic dance music.
7.5 / 10.0 - Quantum Break
Apr 28, 2016

Quantum Break is definitely a game worth playing, even though it's flawed. It's got some great music (Royal Blood's Ten Tonne Skeleton was a nice surprise) and some fairly good character interactions – along with a great TV show to boot. It's just unfortunate that it feels pieced together for no reason other than to get people to watch the TV show instead of feeling like a solid game with a great bonus.

8 / 10.0 - Severed
May 23, 2016

No mistakes about it, Severed is the first must own PS Vita title that’s come out in quite some time and if you’re a fan of Drinkbox or simply a fan of fun at all, Severed absolutely deserves a place in your library.

9 / 10.0 - Overwatch
May 31, 2016

Overwatch is easily one of the best shooters that's been released platform wide in years and it's worth being in your library

8 / 10.0 - Battleborn
Jun 2, 2016

Battleborn is great, but it just isn't as inviting it could be – and the marketing has made it look more like a direct competitor for Blizzard's Overwatch, despite being considerably different. It's a shame more people aren't getting onto the Battleborn bandwagon because while it isn't a smooth as Overwatch it's far more complete and feels like a full game instead of paying to continue playing a demo.

Total War: Warhammer is definitely impressive for a casual like me, and I definitely plan to spend more time with this game during the summer lull so I can learn the other factions and the Chaos order, which thankfully I wound up getting free during launch week but it sucks that it costs people if they didn't buy it early.

9 / 10.0 - Furi
Jul 6, 2016

Furi rewards patience, pattern recognition, and it’s stylish enough that it’s worth trudging through the frustration to see what happens.

Without playing all the franchises in Telltale Games’ catalog, I can’t say whether Batman is their best work – but I can tell you that it is masterly crafted for both fans and casuals alike, and Episode one had me hooked to the point to where I couldn’t put it down.

8 / 10.0 - Attack on Titan
Aug 31, 2016

In spite of the flaws, Attack on Titan is a great way to introduce people to Omega Force (that is, if they didn't play the excellent Hyrule Warriors) and hopefully it'll introduce more people to Dynasty Warriors as well.

10 / 10 - Forza Horizon 3
Oct 22, 2016

Seriously, Forza Horizon 3 is an absolute must own experience if you’re into racing games. The gold standard of arcade racers just pushed the bar to the highest limits.

5 / 10 - WWE 2K17
Oct 25, 2016

WWE literally puts on a show that is mostly about presentation, yet somehow WWE games are always lesser in presentation quality than NBA 2K.

8 / 10.0 - Final Fantasy XV
Dec 12, 2016

It's important that you know about the issues present in the game before you're told that in spite of all that is wrong, it's still an incredible adventure.

9 / 10.0 - Yakuza 0
Jan 24, 2017

Compelling stories, brutal combat, and batshit insane side quests are the kinds of things I live for and Yakuza 0 manages to hit all the right buttons.

10 / 10.0 - Nioh
Feb 14, 2017

I adored Bloodborne, and I really enjoyed all of the Souls games, but Nioh manages to scratch the itch that I didn’t even realize I had and truly raises the bar on this sub-genre.

Bomberman Live on the Xbox 360 was a far better Bomberman game than Super Bomberman R is, and that game is almost 10 years old at this point.

It takes a lot of guts to remake a game in the first place, but to put your own spin on a classic while still remaining a labor of love really speaks for Inti Creates and their love for the franchise and respect for its fans.

When it comes to raging, throbbing, murder boners, no one can compare to The King, Duke Nukem.

9.5 / 10.0 - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Apr 24, 2017

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a lot more than just the “complete edition” – it’s the only edition that exists from this point forward.

All the pretty visuals and melancholy music might make this one a fun game to look at and hear, but that’s where the charm stops.

There’s a surprising amount of content here, but also a surprisingly large price tag for a game that's 26 years old.

6.5 / 10.0 - Warriors All-Stars
Aug 29, 2017

Bringing together some of Tecmo Koei’s biggest stars in a convoluted furry cloud of deja vu.
