Feb 23, 2020

It just might be the greatest and most democratic paean to creativity that the video game medium has ever seen, and it feels like we’ve barely scratched the surface.

Jan 9, 2020

AO Tennis 2 ends a massive drought for serious tennis players, and even as someone who prefers their tennis games a little more fun, there is certainly enjoyment to be had in this rough-around-the-edges offering.

7.5 / 10.0 - Invector
Dec 6, 2019

Though not nearly challenging enough for veterans of the genre, as a persuasive tribute to Avicii this affecting rhythm romp is tough to argue with.

Dec 2, 2019

A beautiful, creative indie platformer that’s held back from classic status by its infuriatingly imprecise controls. The sumptuous journey is still very much worth it, though.

7 / 10.0 - The Stretchers
Dec 1, 2019

Though not nearly exploiting its full potential, The Stretchers is goofy, no-frills fun whether you’re flying solo or teaming up with a friend.

4.5 / 10.0 - Golem (VR)
Nov 29, 2019

Falling prey to so many early-VR pitfalls, the depressingly dated Golem is a stamina-sapping slog.

9 / 10.0 - Death Stranding
Nov 14, 2019

Death Stranding once again sees Hideo Kojima pushing the boundaries of what video games can be, and the result is a breathtaking and uncompromising – if at times willfully baffling – experience.

Certainly a worthwhile successor to Night School’s debut, if hardly the leap to a higher echelon some may be hoping for.

Oct 27, 2019

A shameful disaster which fits only the loosest standards of "fit for sale."

6 / 10.0 - Defector
Jul 14, 2019

Defector does feel a bit like a skeletal VR tech demo rather than a fully-formed project, and that is what above all else separates it from the decidedly more sturdy, intuitive and entertaining Blood & Truth.

7.5 / 10.0 - My Friend Pedro
Jun 19, 2019

My Friend Pedro doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but its big success is taking a genre known for its punishing difficulty and paring things down at the lower end.
