9.3 / 10.0 - Bloodborne
Mar 31, 2015

It introduces enough twists to the established gameplay formula to make it feel fresh again, and will turn a sword and board turtle into a bloodthirsty, dual blade wielding madman.

9 / 10.0 - To The Moon
Sep 8, 2012

A beautiful story filled with romance, strife, humor, and some of the best music this side of a Team Ico game.

The refined shooting mechanics, amazing attention to detail, and robust online multiplayer help to really move the series forward, but the disappointing visuals, technical issues, and some aspects of gameplay that could have used a bit more tweaking keep it from perfection.

8.4 / 10.0 - Resogun
Nov 18, 2013

It's a great game that only really suffers from not featuring enough levels.

7.6 / 10.0 - Trials Fusion
Apr 21, 2014

Trials Fusion is a fun game for a first timer like myself but I can't help but think there was a near-perfect formula that has been overly tinkered with before I got here.

7.5 / 10.0 - LittleBigPlanet 3
Dec 4, 2014

LittleBigPlanet 3 doesn't quite live up to the legacy of previous iterations due to a handful of key drawbacks.

7.5 / 10.0 - OlliOlli
Feb 11, 2014

Unforgiving gameplay that requires you to plan out your every move, and the interesting Daily Grind challenge makes it worth the entry fee, even if the 2D design puts constraints on what types of challenges OlliOlli can present you with.

7.5 / 10.0 - Dokuro
Oct 30, 2012

All in all, Dokuro is a cute, fun puzzle platformer. Here's to happy endings for all the little guys that get ignored by their princesses.

It's a fun and unique take on the genre that fans should definitely give a shot at to judge for themselves.

6.8 / 10.0 - Citizens of Earth
Feb 12, 2015

If Citizens of Earth were a tighter experience I think I could recommend it without reservation, lacklustre character development and all.

If nothing else the IP represents an interesting attempt to turn a brilliant tech demo into a full game and it's certainly unlike anything I've ever played before.

The gunplay is uninspired and the multiplayer has been detrimentally cut down, but the presentation is truly something to behold for console gamers.

6.2 / 10.0 - Ryse: Son of Rome
Nov 28, 2013

Ryse is a rather short, repetitive, beautiful game that is going to be a tough sell for many while others will adore it.

5.5 / 10.0 - Project X Zone
Jul 8, 2013

I don't think Project X Zone is a bad game overall, but it's certainly not the great game I was hoping for; the repetitiveness of the battles and the nonsensical storyline saw to that.

Unscored - Nom Nom Galaxy
May 25, 2015

Nom Nom Galaxy certainly isn't perfect, but it's hard to be too disappointed in a game that is so adept in two areas I'm particularly fond of in gaming - crafting and base building.

Unscored - Titan Souls
Apr 16, 2015

I can't help but wish there was more content for the price of entry, but it's a unique experience that most gamers should at least consider trying out.

Unscored - Rocket League
Jul 14, 2015

For as fantastic as Rocket League can be, it's a tough road to tread, and the higher-than-standard price could be all for naught if you don't tough it out and eventually come to appreciate it in all its glory.

Disgaea 5 is not the obvious revolution for the series that its predecessor Disgaea 4 was from a graphical standpoint, but it does feature meaningful evolution of the series' gameplay.

Night in the Woods succeeds in placing completely believable characters in insane situations while keeping them grounded.

Unscored - Galak-Z
Aug 17, 2015

Hopefully the highly hinted at sequel will shore up some of GALAK-Z's weaknesses - namely lack of narrative closure and an unrefined difficulty curve - and I'll be able to more wholeheartedly recommended it.
