Asher Madan's Reviews
Black Desert is an expansive game, but Pearl Abyss needs to fix its technical problems on Xbox One.
Overall, Devil May Cry 5 is a fun game — one that is utterly spectacular — but Capcom could've done more to evolve the franchise's format.
Far Cry New Dawn is a great experience, especially with its addictive gameplay, but it always feel like it's a side note in a larger saga.
Overall, Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an excellent remake of the originals.
Despite some minor issues like stuttering in interiors, awkward camera angles in smaller houses, or the relatively slow start to story the campaign — Red Dead Redemption 2 simply overrides its small perceptible flaws with what is nothing short of a truly spectacular experience. Simply put, it is one of the best games ever made, setting a new standard for open world titles going forward.
Despite these issues, the game is a lot of fun, especially when you're blasting away enemies in thrilling space combat. I just wish its true potential had been realized.
The shooting mechanics, ability to switch powers — like Acid or Fire — on the fly, and upgrades make for a truly thrilling experience. There's a lot to love here. I just wish it would cost less.
Despite how grand Forsaken is, exemplary storytelling is a must nowadays. That's where Forsaken truly fails. Even though the expansion features the most diverse content, the poor storytelling brings down the score.
Unfair rewards and poor balancing make Warmind seem like a step back.
Even in its current state, Conan Exiles is addictive and will keep you coming back for more. The structured milestone system eases you in.
Overall, City of Brass is a great game that's mostly elevated by its setting and visuals. Once you get into the rhythm and understand how each enemy reacts, it becomes rather enjoyable, even addictive. It's a shame that the controls aren't optimized and there aren't other visual options..
It's a unique title which succeeds in its mission of giving gamers a glimpse into how people deal with psychosis and loss.
Overall, Attack on Titan 2 is a good game with one major flaw: it doesn't make you feel like the hero.
Nine Parchments features great gameplay and environments but the world feels limited.
Mulaka takes you on a wonderful journey of discovery albeit with clunky combat.
Overall, Railway Empire is a good game which should appeal to newcomers more than seasoned veterans of the genre.
The main goal in the game is to simply battle gigantic monsters in epic locations. Due to this, Monster Hunter: World will keep you engaged for months.
If you're looking for a gorgeous game with a strong story between those heavy-hitters this month, then be sure to check out The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Aside from its performance issues, the game is in many ways a masterpiece which every Xbox One owner should consider.
Overall, SOMA is a great achievement in the survival horror genre due to its story.
Overall, Ōkami HD is a great game which is let down but its difficult brush controls. Luckily, that doesn't take away too much from the experience, and anyone can enjoy the title's gorgeous visuals and powerful story. The fact that Ōkami remains this good even after a decade is not only a testament to the artists but also legendary director Hideki Kamiya.
