Jonathan White's Reviews

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
