Lee Mehr's Reviews
Hindsight occasionally harmonizes mechanics with meaningful themes, but the overall impression feels hollow the more I look back.
Sable's plethora of technical faults compels me to warn everyone about its current state on PS5, but I still sincerely hope you'll embark on The Gliding someday.
There are several reasons HOOK's freshmen title fittingly opens at a hospital: its jejune writing, vapid design, and inconsistent presentation quickly flatline any interest.
Somerville's biggest fault isn't with Jumpship utilizing Playdead’s successful template, but rather in forgetting to incorporate the pedigree alongside it.
Modestly-priced but misguided, Bloody Ties reflects a more restrictive design ethos without a worthwhile payoff.
Despite corrections making for an improved all-around package, Modern Warfare II continues the series' ongoing trend of paling in comparison to its original namesake.
Setting aside various nitpicks & critiques, Batora: Lost Haven's overarching issue is making Avril's extraordinary journey feel ordinary by the end.
Several issues gnaw away at Requiem's greater potential, but its panoply of technical and creative positives connect consistently enough to thoroughly appreciate Amicia & Hugo's rat-ical journey.
Ebb Software's rigid focus will immediately put off some (for fair reasons), but also earn the respect of horror fans who can stomach this grotesque world.
Kao's first expansion barely packs any punch.
Rough launch-window bugs and some design faults hinder VestGames' otherwise commendable first stab at the social deduction genre.
Echoes of the Eye’s surprising deviations wind up enhancing both the main game and its own identity.
A timeless classic.
Grounded's quirky concept and adventurous personality will win over survival genre fans, but certain design and launch-window issues shrink my enthusiasm.
Spiders' middle-market Soulslike harnesses plenty of soul and style, but several rusty gears impair its greater potential.
While there are legitimate value contentions to make about this quasi-remake, Part I earns the crown as the definitive edition of this seminal title.
We Are OFK's glitz and glamour can only do so much for a game so insecure about its format and inauthentic in its intent.
Iron Galaxy's grand entrance into the Battle Royale arena gets knocked out by a soulless aesthetic, launch-window technical issues, and mismanaged design.
South of the Circle feels akin to frostbite: it's difficult to feel anything for the characters after continued exposure to suffocating game design & mismanaged narrative.
By connecting gameplay & storytelling in such meaningful ways, Giant Sparrow's second title still remains a classic.
