Adam Siddiqui's Reviews
Far Cry 5 has a lot of amazing moments, and most of them are tied to the excellent antagonists.
Batman: The Enemy Within Episode 5 Same Stitch is everything a finale needs that will leave you shocked and craving for season 3.
Sea of Thieves teases you with this largely unexplored ocean until you realize there's not much out there.
A Way Out has a lot of highs and lows but the combination of cooperative elements and cinematic adventure provides enough excitement that you'll stick around until the end.
It won't please those seeking an intense adventure but Kirby Star Allies is a fun game that will make many gamers smile.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole From Dusk Till Casa Bonita will take around 2 hours to complete and collecting everything will add another hour. It's short but sweet with a lot of memorable moments and satire rich dialogue that fans will enjoy.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Remastered is a serviceable remaster of the 2014 adventure. The game is stable, especially compared to the original, and the improved graphics and framerate are a nice update.
The Council – Episode 1: The Mad Ones sets up this story nicely, providing a solid edifice of characters, lore, and finally a multiple conclusion that have me interested in the next episode.
Final Fantasy XV Royal Edition is the ultimate Final Fantasy XV experience. It gives those who played the original game more than enough content to return for a second playthrough.
The interface and difficulty are intimidating at first but Darkest Dungeon provides a deep foreboding atmosphere complemented by the intense challenge that will test even the most seasoned gamer.
De Blob 2 is a refreshing game from the tedium I experience from the first game. You'll still end up doing the same thing for most of the game but the focus on platforming instead of solely coloring everything provides a much more streamlined experience.
Those who've played the previous tales will find some value here but those hoping into The Residence without playing The Depths or The Hideaway will find it painfully short.
Metal Gear Survive takes a lot of risks foreign to the franchise. The use of survival techniques to simulate an actual life-and-death mission did provide more challenges to the adventure.
Much of Blade of Galadriel is the same as Shadow of War. The new way to recruit Uruks feels limited and while the story does provide some resolution to the plot the overall DLC is short.
Shadow of the Colossus PS4 still holds up today thanks to outstanding game design years ahead of its time. The soundtrack, story, and gameplay can easier be mistaken for a brand new modern release, and those who never played the game should add this to their PlayStation 4 library.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is a distinct and complex fighter that not only adheres to Dragon Ball and fighting game competitors but those seeking an intense action-filled adventure.
Monster Hunter: World offers a huge fantasy full of challenging creatures to fight either alone or with other players. The intimidating monsters, meaningful upgrades, and diverse biomes require a lot of commitment to fully understand.
What Ails You does a great job of setting up the finale for The Enemy Within. Most of the episode has you following a line from start to finish with very little variation in the gameplay.
Beholder doesn't hold your hand and this can become an issue. It relies heavily on the player to self-teaching themselves about much of the game's mechanics.
It's clear that the developers had a vision when making The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, a solid single-player narrative where the player was given a little direction on how to uncover the game's mysteries.
