Evan Norris's Reviews
Most of the time, unfortunately, it's satisfied with being safe, familiar, and unambitious.
Part far-future sci-fi, part Metroidvania, and part Shadow of the Colossus, The Aquatic Adventure of the Last Human is a worthy action-adventure title.
It's among the best games of the last five years.
A terrific, substantial, imaginative package.
The Eternal Collection is an excellent port of an ever better game.
A worthy compendium for one of Japan's greatest arcade developers.
This War of Mine is an important game, but not necessarily a good one.
It still looks lovely and sounds spectacular, and traffics in some inventive physics-based puzzle-platforming.
One-hit kills, extra life limits, infrequent checkpoints, and overlong, excessively-difficult dungeons make this tribute to the Game Boy more frustrating than fun.
With a friendly approach to gaming, a warm sense of humor, and lots of content, the HP Collection is a good investment for younger and/or less accomplished gamers.
If Japanese indie developer Edelweiss wasn't already on your radar, consider this your wake-up call.
Moonlighter's combat, art, quality-of-life fixtures, and addictive gameplay loop make for an easy recommendation.
The Long Night Collection makes a suitably spooky debut.
If you're partial to local party games and/or abstract storytelling, Zarvot might be worth trying.
With plenty of clever color-coded challenges, frenzied four-player platforming, and lovely music and art, Joggernauts is a fair installment in the auto-running sub-genre.
A decent investment for The Surge faithful.
One of the better indie game on the market.
If you're looking for a Pilotwings substitute, keep looking.
Due to some sloppy physics-based controls and erratic gameplay, A Gummy's Life is probably better as a spectator sport.
An engaging, technically solid, surprisingly varied, and highly replayable action-platformer.
