Lee Mehr's Reviews
Dry Twice is another example that sexual faux pas and double entendres aren’t as impressive in modern gaming without the writing and gameplay to carry them. Until that changes, I think these new entries will always feel like sloppy seconds.
Certain issues are tough to dodge, but Knockout City's nuanced foundation still shows promise.
The scale of its ambition makes the radioactive leak all the more widespread.
"Style over substance" is a reflexively-bandied phrase that's diminished in meaning over time. Although I partly agree to its usage here to highlight certain gameplay flaws, I don't think that should tarnish Narita Boy's immense successes. Studio Koba designed what they knew best – reverent 80s nostalgia, inspired techno-spirituality, beautiful 2D art, & more – with a sincerity rarely seen today.
Hitchhiker ultimately feels like an unengaging road trip you can steer clear of playing.
Between its endlessly creative co-op gameplay and genuine story, It Takes Two is a one-of-a-kind experience.
It wants to be a choose-your-own-adventure movie template while consistently disrespecting player choice. This poisons player investment in a story that rarely elevates to fun B-movie shlock, despite some acting & musical talent.
Evil Inside resigns itself to being a cliché-laden homage of P.T.
This humble farmer – for all his faults – deserved a better goodbye.
In almost every respect, Marvel's Avengers is a confused title with a grinding structure that takes an Infinity War to reach its true Endgame.
