Great visuals, great voice acting, great sound, great music, shame the game is mediocre.
This Is The Police 2 is shooting for something morally grey and messy but never quite has the narrative heft to carry it.
Airheart is worth checking out for twin-stick shooter fans that need a new fix, but otherwise, skip this flight.
A collection of interesting systems that never quite comes together.
There’s several interesting systems at work here that never quite come together and gel.
But if you’re looking for Vampire: The Masquerade and you are also old and you don’t want to play a janky battle royale, Vampire: the Masquerade – Swansong is…kinda interesting.
Worth buying if you have a VR crew, but don’t buy a headset for it unless you want to die alone like me.
Not a bad little diversion but there’s so many good pop/city management games now it’s not worth more than a few minutes.
There’s a good core but the rest of the game is the Diet Coke of Evil: Just one calorie, not evil enough.
At its heart, Empire of Sin does a little of everything and does none of it well.
Fun combat and colorful world, but not a lot of depth outside that.
The timeline idea is a neat gimmick but this is a pretty basic strategy game. If you want something simple or are a John Wick completist, it’s worth a gander. Otherwise, get back into the Long War mod for XCOM and blast alien scum.
We’re through the initial burst of Blood/Souls enthusiasm and into the second era, when “It’s like Bloodborne/Dark Souls, but…” is the pitch on the lips of every would-be cash-in. Code Vein is one of those.
Close to the Sun wants to be Big Important Art, but it tries so hard to be Big Important Art that it undercuts itself.
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a beer-and-pretzels tactical game. It’s not hard or demanding. It’s more like a puzzle game than something like Final Fantasy Tactics.
We’re in an era of good shooters right now. There’s no reason to buy a mediocre one.
Overall, Ash of Gods is not a bad game.
It might be an interesting game, if anyone played it.
If you’re a lover of puzzle games and whimsical animation in a Britain of talking dogs handing out riddles, it may be worth a peek, but it’s only mandatory for fans of the series.
Sitting around making weed smoke. Not the fun kind.
