FromSoftware’s highly anticipated DLC could be a standalone game, it's just that good
But the missions aren’t that long, especially if you’re playing on an easier mode, and their replayability is questionable. Though, its value is subjective—maybe you don’t want to spend $15 when you’ve already spent on skins or previous battle passes, or maybe you’ll buy this set of story missions and decide, whenever the next ones are released, to pass, or maybe you’ll love the missions and want to challenge yourself ot beat them over and over again on increasingly harder difficulties. It’ll be interesting to see how players react to this new PvE content.
High On Life, like Rick and Morty, walks up the precipice of revelation, opens its fly, and pisses into the chasm. It’s fucking funny to almost do something different in form and function just to pull away at the last second, isn’t it? You thought we really gave a fuck, didn’t you? Fucking idiot. Here’s a fart.
Overwatch 2 shines and pops with updated graphics and gorgeous new maps, but its deviation from the source material is impossible to ignore.
When you focus on the various Criminal Ventures at your disposal, you can unearth a lovely little buffet of variety
The Artful Escape is a short but oh-so-sweet platformer that will have you bopping to its impossibly catch beats and transfixed by its beauty
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a fantastic remaster of an already fantastic trilogy that's well worth the money.
Outriders is a brash and bold looter shooter that will keep you entertained through the campaign and side missions, but its endgame content gets repetitive fast.
A laudable shake-up of the Call of Duty campaign formula, but Black Ops Cold War misses some targets.
A snappy, fun campaign full of great VO ends too soon, and the game-as-service that comes after is paper thin
Mostly cool looks and hard work make for an eco-friendly expansion that inspires
A questionable choice for a port with an even more questionable inclusion of gyroscopic controls. Turn them off and play with a Pro Controller, or ya know, on a PC or console.
