Lee Mehr's Reviews
Dlala Studios' reboot/sequel of these antique amphibians deftly juggles its varied gameplay conceits and meta-humor, with only Rare missteps.
More enticing systemically than it is narratively, Windbound nevertheless succeeds as a sojourner's adventure of striving for survival and greater understanding.
A mechanically-archetypal strategy sim elevated by the potent historical context through which it's examined.
Insatiable Cycle's zeal in tackling dialogue choices is something to appreciate. But that can only go so far when the script is tacky, the game design is clumsy, and the retail price is terribly overvalued.
The Wake: Mourning Father, Mourning Mother is too uncoordinated in the game being made and the story being told. It hits a strange chord with me because I find Somi laudable and his previous work worth investigating. The visual/audio design’s toned-down, retro ethos marries well with the saccharine storytelling and yet, obstructive gameplay frequently flatlined my drive to turn the next page.
Final Strike Games' first title excels at short-lived fun, but monetization practices & current imbalances eventually cause engine burnout.
Despite some grievances, Remedy's newest expansion is a worthwhile compliment to the fantastic base game.
Hones in on my nostalgia goggles while never quite satiating me like the original.
Ambition winds up elevating and harming The Last of Us Part II with respect to its expanded gameplay and uneven narrative.
This may end up as one of R. L. Stine's greatest nightmares yet—for all the wrong reasons.
