Samuel Taylor's Reviews

Howdy.
7 / 10.0 - Vaporum
Apr 7, 2019

It's not the biggest rip-off in the world, and Vaporum's neat little spins on dungeon crawling are respectable, with the combat being tactical and in-depth, and the story not being as rewarding as you'd think.

A surprisingly barebones, unrewarding and hateful rogue-like title that doesn't have the right amount of polish applied, and lacks the edge in gameplay to truly one-up its contemporaries.

6.5 / 10.0 - Treasure Stack
Mar 13, 2019

It has its moments, but the price of admission with Treasure Stack's warts-n-all presentation might steer a few players away from the genuine genius this game provides.

A direction-less, offensive and pitiful mutation of genres that doesn't leave a strong mark in any ripped from other sources.

A really neat mix of mechanics and style leads Monster Energy Supercross 2 to be one of the strongest Motocross titles around.

As much as Genesis Alpha One tries its best to keep you entertained, it's an admittedly ugly experience, both visually and mechanically. The lack of ambition or context given to gameplay makes it one to avoid.

1 / 10.0 - Gene Rain
Dec 26, 2018

While I personally am against myself giving Gene Rain this score, There's no defending the dreadful nature of this game. However, if you're a fan of so-bad-its-good video games, in all their rarities, then I cannot recommend this game enough.

While it might not be up to the same kookiness of previous titles from SWERY, The MISSING has other reasons to make you stay, leaving you shook and heart-broken with a stop-start narrative, and an gameplay gimmick that doesn't overstay its welcome.

5 / 10.0 - Earthfall
Dec 19, 2018

An attempt to carry on the legacy of Valve and Turtle Rock falls flat, with a small amount of attention paid to the elements that matter. Poor mission design and A.I is what ruins this experience.

8 / 10.0 - Ashen
Dec 13, 2018

Whatever missteps Ashen makes can be mostly overlooked, save for the worlds rarely unforgiving nature. This was a journey that enticed me from start to finish, and I pray to The Lord Bruce Lee that it'll do the same to you.

6 / 10.0 - Fallout 76
Nov 27, 2018

An overblown Fallout 4 mod that's overpriced and buggy, yet still houses an enjoyable experience inside.

A confusing clash of ideologies and design choices is what ruins this games potential, turning it into one of the more boring and aggravating Dark Souls clones out there.

5 / 10.0 - Call of Cthulhu
Nov 6, 2018

While Call of Cthulhu has the confidence to keep you involved, it never ever leads to anything bountiful, leaving you with a game that doesn't offer enough.

8.5 / 10.0 - SoulCalibur VI
Nov 2, 2018

A graciously-executed fighting game, with enough fairly unique content to satisfy you for tens of hours.

0.5 / 10.0 - Hello Neighbor
Oct 30, 2018

A game of such insane, inane and asinine design, it's a wonder the game didn't blow raspberries when I started it up.

While it's nice to see Treyarch "change-up" the formula, in the largest quotations possible, this is still a limp-wristed attempt. It's a pathetic husk of the once-great Call of Duty series that fails to be worth the money or time.

6.5 / 10.0 - Little Nightmares
Oct 10, 2018

Utterly terrifying and pants-wetting horror that must be experienced, even if the gameplay is a failure in most regards

7 / 10.0 - Sheltered
Oct 8, 2018

An understated and fun little survival simulator that is mostly well-balanced, and a small treat to play.

5 / 10.0 - How to Survive 2
Oct 7, 2018

While it's nice to have more of the same, How to Survive 2 is in desperate need of a change sooner rather than later.
