AW2 is easily my favorite horror game this year. It plays well, it’s got a lot to say and it’s toying with its own narrative in unique, fascinating ways. We’ll be talking about Alan Wake 2 for years to come.
Double Dragon Gaiden's got one big problem. It's not what you'd think, but exactly what you should've expected.
Redfall's fun with friends, but there are a few problems with the formula.
If you'd buy a summer home in the zombpocalypse, Dead Island 2 is for you. For anyone else, it's more complicated than that.
Here's why your summer vacation in Rockay City is a bad idea. Or maybe a good one, depending on how you feel about street wars with '90s rappers.
The Dead Space remake fixes a lot of the 2008 original's problems, but leaves a couple of big ones right where they were.
The Winters' Expansion doesn't add content to Resident Evil Village so much as it seasons it. There's some fun to be had here, but as a whole, it's a little insubstantial.
The 2020s resurgence of "boomer shooters" continues with Prodeus, one of the best examples of the subgenre, and one of the best games in it, period.
Kunio takes on ancient China in this mash-up of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and River City Ransom. Are these two great tastes that work together in any way at all?
A short burst of nostalgic cartoon violence, Final Vendetta is uneven but mostly entertaining.
The Quarry is a fun, bloody thrill ride on your first playthrough, but its lack of interactivity and a lot of little issues drag down the whole.
Is it actually fun to be a vampire? Let's find out together, in the latest attempt to export Vampire: The Masquerade to video games.
Ikai is a game that, despite its hiccups in the opening acts, nails the landing. The focus on Naoko over random jump scares pays off, resulting in an enjoyable experience that will resonate with you for some time.
'The King of Fighters XV' is the highest-profile, most accessible 'KOF' yet and deserves to be in any fighting-game fan's library.
If you're looking for a real beat'-em-up challenge, Sifu's got it, but it's not as fair as it is tough.
'ReVamped' is a flawed port of a flawed game, but 'BloodRayne' is so earnestly grindhouse that I've never been able to truly dislike it.
Into the Pit is a retro FPS/roguelike that's far less than the sum of its parts. It's got great action, but everything that surrounds it is questionable.
Rogue Lords will really annoy your fundamentalist relatives, but is it any fun? Well... that's a complicated question.
A weird story of transhumanism and criminals in a rebuilt futuristic Warsaw, Gamedec is an interactive detective novel that's more interesting than traditionally fun.
The '90s are back, sort of, in a comic book/urban fantasy mash-up that provides some co-op fun but can't quite live up to the rest of its genre.
