Jonathan White's Reviews

IT guy by day, game critic by night. Fueled by anger and electronic dance music.

Drop kicking normal Pikachu as a Luchadore Pikachu was a dream come true.

8 / 10.0 - Cuphead
Oct 9, 2017

Cuphead’s biggest enemy isn’t the Devil, it’s RNGesus.

When Battle Chasers: Nightwar works correctly, it’s a fantastic game.

While it’s mostly more of the same, some new mechanics on top of an already excellent base make The Fractured But Whole a must have for any South Park fan.

Fire Emblem Warriors is a terrific experience, but the story isn’t up to par with what fans might expect.

Overall, I recommend Castlevania Requiem if for no other reason than to play Symphony of the Night so you can understand how the Metroidvania genre truly came to light. Rondo is trash, but the platinum wasn’t all that hard so if you’re a completionist, this is an enjoyable collection to platinum.

9 / 10.0 - The Surge
Dec 29, 2017

The Surge takes a little bit to sink the hooks in you, but once it does, you'll have a very hard time putting it down.

It looks and sounds great, but even this remaster’s improvements and decent combat doesn’t make the story any better.

If Dave Meltzer had reviewed this game, it'd get 5 stars for having Kazuchika Okada and the Tokyo Dome in it.

5 / 10.0 - Extinction
Apr 10, 2018

It’s really a shame that Robot Entertainment created Orcs Must Die so many years ago, cause that would have been the perfect name for Extinction.

Dynasty Warriors 9 is basically the $60 equivalent of a Steam Early Access title, and it’s a slap in the face and the reproductive organs, to fans of the series.

7.5 / 10.0 - DJMAX RESPECT
Apr 12, 2018

This game is brutally difficult and wants to watch you suffer through over 100 different songs.

9 / 10.0 - God of War
May 16, 2018

If you’re going to revamp a franchise, God of War 2018 is the new gold standard on how to pull it off.

A decent price tag for a sweet slice of nostalgia, but some performance issues and lack of many gameplay options limit how much longevity you’ll get out of it.

Get gud and kick Patches off a cliff in HD. What’s not to love?

7 / 10.0 - Far Cry 5

Despite having a terrific antagonist, Far Cry 5 seems to struggle to connect the player to the story.

9.5 / 10.0 - Dead Cells
Aug 8, 2018

One part rogue-like, one part Metroidvania. Mix in some speed running and you’ve got yourself a tremendous baby of a game.

6.1 / 10.0 - Strange Brigade
Aug 30, 2018

With just a few small changes in design, Strange Brigade could have been a sleeper hit that people were talking about for years to come. Unfortunately, no matter how pretty the game looks, the flaws in gameplay keep it from being little more than passable and ultimately forgettable as the bigger games release across the holiday season.

8.5 / 10.0 - Yakuza Kiwami 2
Aug 30, 2018

Overall, Kiwami 2 is yet another stellar Yakuza re-release. This time it runs in Yakuza 6's dragon engine and it's absolutely gorgeous to look at.
