Howdy.
10 / 10.0 - Oxenfree
Oct 5, 2017

An evolution of narrative design, along with being one of the most captivating and original stories ever told in media.

Is Assault Android fun? Yes, an almost illegal amount of fun, but it makes severe missteps near the end, and the journey ends before you can even appreciate what happens.

The worst Call of Duty in years, but the best World War II game in recent memory.

One of the best platformers you'll ever play. The story is also equally superb.

3.5 / 10.0 - Dynasty Warriors 9
Feb 21, 2018

The first-time attempt to make Dynasty Warriors open-world is valiant, yet ultimately makes the entire game lifeless.

3 / 10.0 - SYMMETRY

An interesting experiment game that is currently near-impossible, and is in desperate need of a few tweaks.

5.5 / 10.0 - Q.U.B.E. 2
Mar 21, 2018

A puzzler more interested in its own cerebral thoughts than player enjoyment, Q.U.B.E. 2 is a vastly underwhelming title that is only saved by its gorgeous visuals.

3.5 / 10.0 - Sea of Thieves
Mar 27, 2018

Whatever promise Sea of Thieves had at the beginning falters soon after, to the point where this is a hot contender for The Most Boring Game of 2018.

One of the more fun experiments to test, with a sublime world to explore, and less-than-sublime gameplay attached.

7 / 10.0 - Planet Alpha

It's Captain Planet meets Inside. You can't go wrong with a combination like that, surely.

4.5 / 10.0 - Shape of the World
Sep 5, 2018

A weird title. It's not an overwhelmingly good walking simulator, it's not an outrageously bad exploration game, it's just... there.

A rather humdrum, err, Hyper Light Drifter clone, that falls just short of being one of the best RPGs of 2018.

A great gateway title for roguelikes, and a great game on its own rights.

The king of battle royale has fallen victim to regicide.

Dangerously overpriced surrealist horror.

7 / 10.0 - Anodyne
Sep 22, 2018

A botched port doesn't change the fact that Anodyne is worth a shot, with it being a really well done surrealist title.

A neat little package of RTS goodness.

8 / 10.0 - Darkest Dungeon

Darkest Dungeon manages to make turn-based combat terrifying for entirely different reasons.

One of the most boring, insipid horror games you'll ever play.

6 / 10.0 - The Long Reach
Oct 2, 2018

A quirky horror title that's too big for its own boots.
