TJ Denzer's Reviews
Majestic foundation quickly devolves into a human meat grinder, and not in a good way
Strategy, resource management, and RPG combat in one charmingly nostalgic package
Rich, hand-drawn worlds inspired by the tapestry of Nordic legends and lore make Jotun a fantastical and breathtaking journey, although it sometimes feels barren between the big encounters.
The Final Station challenges the player with scarcity and survival and weaves just enough context to make the world built around it interesting.
In many ways everything that led up to No Man’s Sky felt like some sort of conscription ad campaign. “See the universe! Explore the unknown!” It’s all very enticing and delivers on a lot of amazing feelings, but like most things of this nature, it’s not always all it’s cracked up to be.
Zero Time Dilemma is an adventure full of disturbing and compelling twists and turns with gameplay make it interesting and inviting, even if you haven’t followed the series from the very beginning.
The only thing Umbrella Corps succeeds in is convincing us Umbrella is the worst and most incompetent company anyone could ever have the misfortune of working for.
Though there are a few wrinkles in the fabric of Blood and Wine, it delivers a final chapter unlike any you’ve seen before.
Guilty Gear Xrd is continuing to stand out as the game that deserves to bask in the spotlight.
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is no ordinary remake. It simplifies what needed to be simplified, expands what needed to be expanded, and runs in the smoothest of fashion without any hiccup whatsoever.
1979 Revolution: Black Friday will probably push people away and outrage others for its content. It’s not a feel-good type of game and not everyone may agree with the personal take of history that it provides.
There is a ton of things to like about this game and especially this version of it. Everything returns intact and looks much cleaner and sharper than ever.
Dark Souls III feels more like an extension of Dark Souls II mixed with a few fresh lessons learned from Bloodborne to create a richer and more powerful overall experience.
While Albino Lullaby's first episode doesn't quite succeed in keeping tension or fear all the time, it is nonetheless an engrossing and unique take on the horror genre.
Into the Stars is the type of game that will push you on those very grounds and once you’re in it, the journey is great the first few times.
SUPERHOT is actually an impressive and interesting puzzle where the solution just happens to be shooting strange red enemies.
Layers of Fear is the kind of game that opens itself just enough to make players curious to see the whole picture.
XCOM 2 is not without flaws and shortcomings, but it has enough quality substance to overcome most of its problems.
That Dragon, Cancer is a difficult thing to approach. It is barely meant to be fun. It is dark and occasionally deeply disturbing, but that's because it has to be. It is also full of hope and love.
There are bugs in the game that make it feel frustrating and unfinished. At many points I felt like I was fighting the game simply to play it, and while there's tons of promise, the current product just doesn't feel worth the effort it takes to play.
