Paul Broussard's Reviews
Everything that Fobia does has been done both worse and better by other titles. There’s potential in the concept, providing some of the rougher edges are smoothed off, however as it stands Fobia is the horror game equivalent of a plain bagel.
Ultimately, Kirby’s Dream Buffet consists of a lot of good ideas unfortunately hampered by Nintendo’s continued online bugaboo and what I suspect are technical limitations.
A mostly competent Soulslike, but hard to praise beyond that.
The Thaumaturge is certainly competent enough, if the prospect of a mystery with some light RPG elements sounds appealing, but don’t expect it to light your world on fire.
Bleed 2 only costs $10 as of the time of writing, but even a price point discounted that heavily is a bit difficult to justify given the lack of original content.
Given that it’s a remastering, it probably won’t take too long for a cost reduction, and closer to $20 feels much more reasonable given what’s presented here.
If you’re looking for a turn based JRPG to play through, there are far better options out there that provide more variety for your dollar.
There’s nothing that elevates it above its competition.
Elevator going nowhere fast.
You’ll probably extract some enjoyment out of Chimera Squad, although you’re likely to find just as many problems to complain about along the way as I have.
The attempt to tackle both stealth and combat creates a game that never really quite manages to fully get a grasp on either.
The Survivalists is adrift on a sea of similar titles, struggling to find relevance and survive amid the near endless competition.
I can't say I hate Age of Calamity, but I am saddened by it, and how little it did with the intriguing potential it had.
There are a few interesting ideas with some potential but they're never get put to full use, and there's nowhere near enough content to justify the asking price.
It’s a perfectly functional game, if nothing else, and for only $12 you’re certainly not risking a lot by purchasing it.
I certainly can’t claim Prodeus is a bad game, it just left me thoroughly underwhelmed. Perhaps this encapsulates the underlying issue with the desire to create a game whose primary ambition is to recreate the feeling of playing older titles.
WHALIEN is a reasonably entertaining puzzle-solving game with tools that have a lot of potential, but it probably won’t tax your head or your fingers.
A feast for the eyes and a famine for everything else.
There is a lot to like, and even love about Persona 3, but it’s all buried underneath an incredible amount of tediousness.
There are sparks of the greatness embodied in Eternal, but there are too many places where this DLC stumbles for it to be worth your time.
