Angelo D'Argenio's Reviews

Personally, I have always thought that Video Games were more than just games, and have sought to enrich my life by finding out what more Video Games can do. I've been a game journalist, tournament organizer, educator, panelist, and even a game themed comedian. I've traveled the world to go to preview events, and been in game jams with indie producers. I've seen events like AGDQ raise incredible amounts of money for charity. To me, games are more than games. Heck, they are more than art, more than sport, and more than community. They are a vehicle for experience, in a way that so few other forms of media can be.
7.3 / 10.0 - Salt and Sanctuary
Apr 29, 2016

Salt and Sanctuary is a good 2D conversion of the Souls formula, but its experimental nature invites more than a few flaws. If you don't mind difficult-to-see graphics and sometimes cheap combat, then you'll happily come back for more.

If you played the first Banner Saga, this is a must buy. If you missed The Banner Saga 1, consider purchasing it just so you can give The Banner Saga 2 a chance.

8.3 / 10.0 - Enter the Gungeon
Apr 18, 2016

Enter the Gungeon is an incredibly addicting indie game that will keep you coming back for more. It goes to great lengths to improve on the rogue-like genre, fixing flaws and tightening balance, all with a tongue-in-cheek presentation that can't help but make you smile… if you like shooting things, that is.

6.5 / 10.0 - Heavy Rain
Mar 29, 2016

Heavy Rain is a game best left to your memory. It makes a good case study for seeing how cinematic adventure games have evolved over time, but it just doesn't have the quality of newer games in the genre.

Pokken Tournament is a solid game for Poké-fanatics and a decent enough game for casual fighting game fans. I'd recommend it if you need a Poké-fix before Pokémon Sun and Moon come out, but if you are looking for a new fighting game, stick to Street Fighter V.

Samurai Warriors 4: Empires is fun, but scattered. It's a decent diversion but it's complexity and lack of transparency will keep you from being hooked.

Screencheat is undeniably fun, party/shooter hybrid which brings back fond memories of the good old days of split-screen.

Michonne travels the apocalyptic world, never staying in the same place long and never letting false promises of security get in her way. She never gives in to threats and faces adversity head on, which makes for a promising adventure.

Steve Jackson's Sorcery! Is an interesting digital implementation of a pencil and paper gamebook.

The Beginner's Guide is an incredible art piece of a game that gets you thinking your relationship with the games you play.

Resident Evil 0 HD Remaster includes more content than most HD remasters, but does little to fix design flaws from the original.

Pony Island is an incredibly clever puzzle-horror game that manages to immerse you in a screwed up world of ponies, code, and demonic machinations.

Undertale is fantastic in ways that are hard to describe. It's a love letter to RPGs, gamers, and gaming in general.

Armikrog is a fun and quirky point-and-click adventure game with unfortunately dated mechanics.

King's Quest: A Knight to Remember is a very promising start to a worthy revival of the classic adventure franchise.
