LJ Lowery's Reviews
Green Hell VR is a must for for all levels of players who are interested in the genre and own a VR headset.
Despite a bumpy launch, Century: Age of Ashes is a unique experience that soars above a saturated market
Lawn Moving Simulator sounds like it would be ultra boring, but it is a well-crafted and serene experience.
Grand Kingdom offers so much depth that hundreds of hours can easily be poured into the game.
The location and scenario for has made for a good challenge and some intense moments in this second installment, in addition to the fact that a bigger plot is also starting to unfold.
The Season Pass makes Star Wars Battlefront a more complete product, The first three expansions offer a great variety in maps and game modes, but the Rogue One DLC located on Scarif just feels less than stellar. Those who didn't want to pay full price for the Season Pass should grab it at the new price of $29.99
The fact that players cannot share and play others' courses on the 3DS through a complete course browser is the single thing that holds this version back. With the Super Mario Challenge and the fluid mechanics intact, we still have a solid product in Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS.
Despite Nintendo splatting themselves in the foot yet again, the Splatoon franchise remains fresh. Splatoon 2 succeeds in making a number of improvements while keeping everything we know and love when it comes to these odd Squid Kids.
The Disgaea franchise is beloved for many reasons; the characters, humor, and unique mechanics make Disgaea 5 unlike any SPRG I have played. On the plus side, you can take it on the go Dood!
Ubisoft has taken us back in Far Cry: Primal to a time period that is new and fresh to the FPS genre. Sadly, it has a story that is forgettable and uses the same formula we have come to expect from every Far Cry game. However, some fans will enjoy some of the changes to the fun gameplay we know and love.
For Honor is completely unlike anything else on the market due, primarily, to its deep combat. Players can easily sink hundreds of hours into the game with so many customization options for twelve different classes. The weak campaign and one-sided Deathmatch battles are, thankfully, not a killing blow.
This game is definitely worth your time and money, so go buy it and show some support for this talented developer.
Mekazoo is a great callback to the platformers we all know and love, especially with its cast of playable characters that drive the gameplay. A pretty decent level of challenge is present, yet the younger audience it looks to be made for may not be able to grasp it.
Way of the Passive Fist is unique among the rest of the brawlers in the genre. Though the experience is mostly entertaining, the rhythmic gameplay can sometimes feel like a chore. Ultimately, the experience will have you reminiscing about the days of action-packed Saturday morning cartoons.
Ghost of a Tale is an interesting world full of lore that begs to be explored despite the few design choices that keep it from becoming the greatness that it has potential for.
Hitman 2 is a solid follow up to the 2016 reboot, but there wasn't much that stood out from its predecessor. If more Hitman is what you want, that is exactly what you'll get. There are some slight improvements, but anyone looking for new and drastic changes will not find them here.
Nicalis kicks off its original game universe with Blade Strangers. A 2D fighting game with great animation and a solid fighting game that can knuckle up with the greats of the genre. With characters from their own franchises and some indie darlings we love, there's a fighter for everyone here.
Yoshi's Crafted World is a great addition for the family, but leaves much to be desired compared to previous entries.
NASCAR Heat 4 brings a much-needed rise in temperature to the series with an improved presentation and deeper gameplay experience, but the new career mode options could use a slight tune-up at the next pit stop.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is one of the most fascinating video games of the year, but it's objective to be so open-ended hinders itself with a complicated control scheme and steep learning curve.
