Christopher Bratt's Reviews

Video person at Eurogamer. Probably shouldn't have given Beyond Earth an 8/10, now that he thinks about it.
No Recommendation / Blank - Gears Tactics
Apr 27, 2020

A competent tactical retooling of the Gears formula, even if the execution isn't always spot-on.

I found Rage pretty hard work to enjoy. Much like the mercs themselves, for every positive trait it may offer, there tends to be some frustrating problem to deal with too. The combat is rarely all that enjoyable and a game that requires so much inventory management should do so much more to make that process appeal to the player.

Halo Wars 2 proves once again that an RTS can work on a controller, but that aside there's little to get excited about here.

Gorgeous and mournful, The Banner Saga 2 is enriched by a story that meaningfully remembers the choices we've made.

Insomniac's reimagining of the original Ratchet & Clank is a vibrant reminder of how much fun 3D platformers can be.

Punishing and precise, Firaxis has created one of the most demanding - and thrilling - strategy games ever.

A worthy addition to the Dragon Age series, but it takes some time to prove it.

Not just 'Civ 5 in space', but excellent series additions are offset by problems old and new.

Episode five, thankfully, gives you the room to decide where Clementine ends up and suggests that your decisions are going to have a permanent effect on her future.

The best (console) version of Diablo 3 money can buy.

Offers a proper bad guy for you to hate, but also asks how far you'll go to escape.

A superior episode, and one that bodes well for the rest of the season.

There's fun to be had here, but it feels like a nice change of pace rather than a long-term alternative.
