Steve Wright's Reviews

A Canadian-Australian games journalist and Editor-in-Chief at Stevivor, Australia's largest independant video games website. NHL 94 almost made the top 3.

Despite missing the mark on a difficulty that feels consistently challenging yet fun at the same time, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is an utter delight.

6 / 10.0 - Layers of Fear 2
May 27, 2019

While Layers of Fear was a jaunt into the unknown, Layers of Fear 2 has a strong sense of déjà vu that you carry with you from beginning to end; you’ve the feeling you’ve seen this before, and likely, more expertly done. Despite that misstep, it remains a must-play for horror fans who’re looking for a polished, atmospheric little fright.

8 / 10.0 - Observation
May 22, 2019

Despite those occasionals falter — and a somewhat polarising, disappointing ending — I was desperate to complete Observation to get to the bottom of its mystery.

8 / 10.0 - Darkwood
May 18, 2019

Darkwood is a very unique experience that relies on darkness and silence frequently, causing your own imagination to run wild and fill in the horrific gaps.

7.5 / 10.0 - Rage 2
May 14, 2019

Combat is by far the biggest selling point of Rage 2, and Avalanche Software should be proud of a title that continually draws comparisons the super-tight Doom reboot in my mind.

Despite dated mechanics, Sniper Elite V2 looks gorgeous – I preferred 60 frames per second over 4K resolution – and is a must for the collection of fans of the franchise.

6 / 10.0 - Days Gone
Apr 25, 2019

While patches may be able to salvage quite a few of its bugs, there are some questionable design decisions that certainly can’t be fixed as easily.

9.5 / 10.0 - BoxBoy! + BoxGirl!
Apr 25, 2019

Despite the move to Switch, levels are still designed in a handheld console mentality, meaning you’ll be able to get through a level in a couple minutes flat; as such, BoxBoy remains perfectly suited for pick-up, put-down play.

7 / 10.0 - Mortal Kombat 11
Apr 22, 2019

Mortal Kombat 11 is a great fighter tarnished by Warner Bros.’ willingness to test the limits of customer satisfaction using nickle-and-dime tactics. It’s truly an embarrassment for the franchise and one I hope is truly corrected soon.

This is an unofficial celebration of (nearly) 20 years of Phoenix Wright, and it’s a damn good one at that, even with its failings. You can hardly go wrong with the Granddaddy of the visual novel — a quirky, comical romp into the courtroom.

Despite some design decisions that may be seen as missteps in 2019, Borderlands has aged remarkably well (and in some cases, reminds current developers that they need to reassess how they’ve tackled the looter shooter).

If you’re after a cute time rather than a genre-defining one, this’ll work just fine.

While I’d love to see out the whole thing – the main story, not the time sink endgame – coop, it’s how The Division 2 performs as a single-player campaign that may ultimately decide how far I take this fight.

10 / 10.0 - Resident Evil 2
Jan 23, 2019

The traditions of survival horror have been modernised, resulting in something that's all-too-familiar yet always manages to keep you on your toes.

Touchdown's beam katana is back and will need to be recharged during combat.

5 / 10.0 - Darksiders III
Nov 26, 2018

At the end of the day, Darksiders 3 is four years too late and four years behind current game design.

8 / 10.0 - Just Dance 2019
Nov 18, 2018

That said, I mightn’t know the songs I’m dancing to, but Ubisoft’s done a wonderful job in picking upbeat, fun songs to dance to regardless. Like last year’s offering, Just Dance 2019 is an inoffensive, exercise conducive title fun alone or in pairs. If you want to boogie, consider it.

11-11 is a unique (and relatively inexpensive) title that’s worth picking up.

Unscored - Fallout 76
Nov 15, 2018

So far, Fallout 76 seems like a half-baked, early access entry, equal parts buggy as ugly
