Matt Heywood's Reviews

Matt Heywood is the founder and EIC of EntertainmentBuddha.com where he strives to make you a better geek, one post at a time! He’s the self-described guru of all things geeky, but gaming is his main mistress. When he’s not scouring the Internet for interesting nuggets of awesomeness he can be found in his secret lair enjoying the latest and greatest video games that the market has to offer.

The final episode of Telltale's Batman series provides a satisfying end to the five episode arc, which also proved Bruce Wayne is just as capable of being an engaging video game lead as his alter ego.

87 / 100 - Moss
Mar 2, 2018

If you need a reason to buy a PSVR headset, then use Moss as that reason. It may not be perfect, but it's easily one of the best and most memorable VR experiences to date.

85 / 100 - Dishonored 2
Nov 19, 2016

Dishonored 2 stayed true to the franchise's roots, but this time around players can choose from two different protagonists, which offers up a ton of replayability and value for those who purchase it.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare reaped the wrath of gamers when it was first announced, but contrary to the bile spewed on it on YouTube, it's not even close to being a horrible game. In fact, it packs a fantastic campaign, amazing visuals, and plenty of content to justify its asking price.

Above the Law presents some very difficult choices that can lead to grave impacts on your particular journey through Telltale's latest take on The Walking Dead. It's well worth playing if you're already invested in the series, but also if you're considering picking up the Season Pass.

This episode returns this Telltale Batman series to form, so if you haven't enjoyed the past two, then I urge you to give it one more shot thanks to this rather exciting and informative episode.

85 / 100 - Arca's Path
Dec 4, 2018

Arca's Path VR's use of gaze controls really helps to make it feel unique but intuitive. It's a bit short, but still well worth the investment for the meditative experience it provides.

Jun 20, 2019

The latest Indie gem to come from Devolver Digital is now here, and if you love oddball types of games that offer up unique gameplay experiences and sentient bananas, then My Friend Pedro will be right up your demented, side-scrolling shooter loving alley.

Telltale for the most part has nailed the essence of the Guardians of the Galaxy and their relationships with each other and the galaxy. Outside of a few technical issue such as a bad camera during certain gameplay segments, it's a fun first foray into Telltale's take on the Guardians of the Galaxy.

81 / 100 - Last Day of June
Aug 31, 2017

Last Day of June is a beautiful looking narrative driven game that suffers a bit from repetition, but if you can get past that it has an emotionally charged tale to experience.

Vampyr offers up a very intriguing take on the iconic monster, while also offering up one of the deepest morality systems ever featured in an action-RPG. This is a game worth experiencing.

80 / 100 - The Turing Test
Sep 12, 2016

The Turing Test is a great first person puzzler with an intriguing sci-fi inspired narrative. Its gameplay is a bit repetitive early on and the ending is a bit too open ended for my tastes, but overall it's a solid FPP worth experiencing for just $20.

Telltale continues to weave its Batman tale in New World Order, which is quite short and devoid of interesting gameplay, but still a worthy entry thanks to it continuing the interesting Batman/Bruce narrative.

The Good Knight serves as a respectable close to The Odd Gentlemen's King's Quest series, and while some of the puzzles are very vague, others shine as does the narrative.

80 / 100 - SUPERHOT (VR)
Jul 26, 2017

I was a huge fan of the original SUPERHOT, and now after playing the VR version, which is an entirely new experience, my fandom has only been strengthened for this unique FPS puzzle game. Let’s just say it definitely can make you feel like Neo dodging bullets in the Matrix, and for me that’s enough of a reason alone to try it out. With that being said you should still check out my full review below in video or scripted format.

80 / 100 - NBA Playgrounds
May 15, 2017

NBA Playgrounds doesn't try to hide its NBA Jams influences in the least, and that's just fine, because this arcade basketball title is one Jam fans and newcomers will both appreciate.

80 / 100 - Embers of Mirrim
Jun 5, 2017

Embers of Mirrim is a beautiful looking game with a unique approach to platforming, and outside of the challenge getting a bit frustrating late in the game, it's a solid title worth checking out on the PC, PS4, or Xbox One.
