Evan Norris's Reviews
What the game lacks in breadth and depth of puzzles it somewhat makes up for in variety.
There are a handful of high points, thanks chiefly to the emergent gameplay provided by Geomod 2.0, but not enough to change what is, in the end, an acceptable but unremarkable sandbox shooter.
There's something undeniably charming about Pode. Its adorable characters, meaningful story, lovely art, relaxing music, and satisfactory puzzling gameplay make it worth a look, especially for co-op enthusiasts.
The wait for Ritual just got a heck of a lot easier.
If there's a lesson to be learned from A Legend Reborn, it's this: don't build a game off a meme.
Go to hell and back to save your son in this gorgeous, flawed story-driven survival game.
Strange Journey Redux is a masterclass in first-person dungeon crawling.
If you love old-school shooters like Quake and Unreal Tournament, and miss the barbarism of middle school gym class, this is the game for you.
Runner3 is a wonderfully weird game.
If you're looking for a thoughtful sci-fi story and/or a point-and-click adventure in the LucasArts mold, and can tolerate the short running time, this is a good pick.
Where some re-releases and remasters are content to add a single extra mode or a graphical face-lift, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Ultimate Edition aspires to more.
If you can look past some uninspired visuals, you might find yourself having a lot of fun with Rogue Aces.
Super Daryl Deluxe is extraordinary — not just because it's a terrific RPGvania, but because it's the work of two university students.
The Alliance Alive is yet another terrific RPG on 3DS, a platform that refuses to go quietly.
Add enough human contestants and the fun rises exponentially.
Clustertruck is a great, inspired idea. That idea never makes a proper translation from the theoretical to the practical, however.
Despite suffering from some unoptimized console controls, bland combat, and boring level design, Titan Quest is a serviceable RPG in the vein of Diablo and Baldur's Gate.
An adventure worthy of the Assassin's Creed faithful, particularly those seeking a down-to-earth story that fills in the backstory of the North American brotherhood.
Blasters is a satisfactory take on a popular VR genre, elevated by the breadth of its weapon options and its physically demanding bullet hell action.
The VR love child of Lemmings and Pikmin.
