Benjamin Guthrie's Reviews
RICO combines rogue-lite elements and slow motion action to create a satisfying gameplay loop that can be revisited time and time again.
Metro Exodus is the best in the series, offering a perfect blend of old and new gameplay mechanics as well as a much more grounded story diving deeper into the people that inhabit the game's post-apocalyptic Russia
What starts as an inoffensively dull game turns into a repetitive and frustrating mess filled with technical issues, terrible combat, and an uninteresting story.
It isn't the best shooter ever, but Bulletstorm offers fun arcade FPS action with a surprising amount of creativity to the combat. Now if only I could creatively kill its annoying dialogue...
You may think the apocalypse is the end, but Sunset Overdrive does something unique by making it the beginning with clever and funny writing, a punk rock mixed with comic book style, and fun traversal abilities.
More of the same can be a good thing, and Hitman 2 does that by offering more of what makes the first game so incredible, with some extras added on the side.
While the game can be fun at times, Overkill's The Walking Dead is bogged down by technical issues, repetitive side content, and the inability to have fun while playing solo.
Black Ops 4 is the biggest change to the formula in recent Call of Duty history, and in large part is for the better. Blackout is a suitable replacement for the single player campaign, zombies has seen meaningful changes to its meta-game, and multiplayer is more of the same great thing.
God of War goes above and beyond with its storytelling and gameplay to not only become the game of the year, but quite possibly the best PS4 exclusive to date.
