Maurice Pogue's Reviews
Blizzard continues its streak as a top-tier developer with its first new intellectual property in almost twenty years. Overwatch is a fantastic reminder that fun, quality gameplay need not be limited to skills such as actions per minute or twitch reflexes; strategy and teamwork are just as effective. There is something here for everyone!
Why are you reading this review instead of playing this masterpiece ? Tsk, at this rate, you'll never beat it! Witcher 3 is the kind of game that we will be speaking of fondly alongside the likes of FFVII, FFT, and Baldur's Gate 2.
Axiom Verge is a metroidvania whose quality adjoins the games from which the genre germinated.
StudioMDHR Entertainment could not further increase the quality of Cuphead if they resurrected Walt Disney and had him pencil the animations himself, or have Bach compose the OST. The game is that gosh-darn good.
Aurion: Legacy of the Kori-Odan is a game that should be played because it extends itself into an epistemological paradigm that no other game has dared to venture: African Fantasy. Its other commendable merits of resplendent environments, captivating story, and adept gameplay are complimentary, but secondary to the fact that this game's very existence is (gaming) history.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a game that hits me right square in the nostalgia, almost completely disarming of my faculties as a critic. As a love letter to the fans of Commandos, it is a dream come true.
Fe is a masterpiece in the adventure genre the likes of which the gaming industry sees about once per generation.

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.
Returnal is an apex-tier game that capitalizes on the PS5's capabilities as a "next-gen" platform.
GTAV is a masterpiece, successfully reproducing the awe that we felt when GTAIII first hit the streets while also surpassing GTA: San Andraes in both volume quality of content. Content concerns are without number, though gamers should expect nothing less from a franchise named after a felony.
The greatest Legend of Zelda game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, is now in high definition!
Inside is the 2016 indie GOTY front-runner, with the simplicity of its inviting controls, satisfying game flow, and enthralling yet ambiguous story that will have fans theorycrafting like they once did with Limbo.
Rayman Legends positively compliments the long-standing franchise and is a fantastic alternative to a certain other platform franchise which features four simultaneous players.
Guns, Gore, & Cannoli is a stellar SHUMP that belongs in the same sentence as run-n-guns like Metal Slug and Gunstar Heroes.
DOOM offers nothing innovated, but instead, executes everything that we have already come to know and love about FPS games to perfection.
