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.
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.
Fun combat and colorful world, but not a lot of depth outside that.
At its heart, Empire of Sin does a little of everything and does none of it well.
There’s a good core but the rest of the game is the Diet Coke of Evil: Just one calorie, not evil enough.
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.
Worth buying if you have a VR crew, but don’t buy a headset for it unless you want to die alone like me.
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.
There’s several interesting systems at work here that never quite come together and gel.
A collection of interesting systems that never quite comes together.
Airheart is worth checking out for twin-stick shooter fans that need a new fix, but otherwise, skip this flight.
This Is The Police 2 is shooting for something morally grey and messy but never quite has the narrative heft to carry it.
Great visuals, great voice acting, great sound, great music, shame the game is mediocre.
