Maurice Pogue's Reviews
As with its predecessor, Horizon: Forbidden West surpasses the imagination for what is thought to be possible in a video game of its magnitude, and now, pedigree.
Shadow Warrior 3 reprises the ancient tradition of FPS Doom clones in the most unflattering way possible.
I expected more out of Metroid Dread than a facelifted remix of Metroid Fusion and Samus Returns.
Returnal is an apex-tier game that capitalizes on the PS5's capabilities as a "next-gen" platform.
I looked forward to giving an game like El Shaddai a try, but its aged...everything...fails to hold my attention.
Jupiter Hell is the first roguelike I have played that manages to trick the player into a false sense of security.
The Red Solstice 2: Survivors has that B-tier charm for better and for worse.
Mighty Goose is a great reminder that video games need not take themselves too seriously to be fun.
R-Type Final 2 is a throwback of shooters from 20 years ago; for premium pricing, we expect more.
MechWarrior 5 is certainly a blast from the past, but I wish it was more.
Double Kick Heroes is a neat callback to rhythm games of the past, both in terms of gameplay, and also musical genre.
Fans of classic JRPGs will feel right at home with SaGa Frontier, but those looking for modern luxuries may want to sit this one out.
Demon’s Souls offers a functional replication of the PS3 game classic, featuring more improvements than downgrades.
Redout: Space Assault's mobile game roots sabotage what could have been.
Though flawed, Ghostrunner is a quality shout-out to fans of ninjas, speedrunning, and Mirror's Edge.
Door Kickers: Action Squad is the kind of "modern retro" game that I would like to see more of.
Dog Duty is a labor of love where the fruits of that labor are average.
Ion Fury is the game Duke Nukem Forever should have been.
Total War: Three Kingdoms narrowly qualifies as a great addition to the Total War franchise as its 4X grand strategy tendencies loom.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Shadows of New York lives up to Draw Distance's promise of being a stand-alone expansion that offers an in-depth look into the World of Darkness.
