7.5 / 10.0 - Wasteland 3
Sep 3, 2020

So, when all is said and done, Wasteland 3 provides a character-filled, tactically challenging gameplay experience, providing you have the patience to get to it. Even with that said though, I certainly have enjoyed my time with the game, and I have every intention to keep on playing it.

Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted succeeds in creating a world that fits the theme it is shooting for, it just unfortunately fails to do much with it. Mired by poor controls, and frustrating mechanics, the only way I can see anyone getting enjoyment out of this would be possibly as a quick party experience with a few friends.

The game is fun, interesting and puts enough twists on the tried and true CCG formula to stand out from the crowd. It’s filled with fun personalities and supported by a microtransaction system that doesn’t feel like it’s out to fleece you.

With only a couple small issues Fury Unleashed proved to be a thoroughly enjoyable gaming experience.

Convoy: A Tactical Roguelike gives moments of fun, decision-based adventure, even though it has some significant stumbles along the way.

5.5 / 10.0 - WARTILE
Mar 29, 2020

it flounders in stale gameplay, and a forgettable story. Leaving only it’s lovely visuals to lean on. And those just aren’t enough.

In the end, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is a mediocre platforming experience. Inconsistent level design and restrictive ability access holds this game back from being a truly enjoyable experience. I will continue to remember Bub and Bob fondly from my youth, but this outing does little to build upon the legacy.

When all is said and done I found Darksiders Genesis a fun, if somewhat shallow game experience.

9.5 / 10.0 - The Turing Test
Feb 7, 2020

There are few things I love more in video games than when a developer questions real world morality within the narrative of their game. Bulkhead Interactive does this magnificently in The Turing Test.

I enjoyed my time with Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics. It provided lots of variety, both in map design as well as gameplay options, while providing a, mostly, fair challenge. It keeps mostly to the plot of the series, though there are embellishments along the way.

Is it perfect? No. But Dragon Ball Z has always been a franchise that has thrived despite its shortcomings. And perhaps it is in that way that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot most perfectly captures its source material.

7.5 / 10.0 - Heroland
Dec 3, 2019

When all is said and done, Heroland ends up being a bit of a mixed bag. Charming graphics and a deep, uniquely enjoyable combat system are mired by obnoxious characters and a need to level grind. There is a lot to like about this game, just as long as you are willing to commit the time to find it.

While Afterparty provides some charm and fun it was ultimately a let down for me.

9.5 / 10.0 - The Outer Worlds
Oct 28, 2019

Overall, The Outer Worlds is an experience I cannot recommend enough. With its breadth of player choice, and equally diverse cast there is sure to be something here for the majority of gamers.

While Battle Planet – Judgement Day struggles with some uninspired leveling, and repetitive level design I think there is a solid amount of depth, and fun, to be found in this package.

7.5 / 10.0 - Mistover
Oct 14, 2019

MISTOVER has shown itself to be one of the all around hardest reviews I’ve had to do. With the combat mechanics being nothing short of exceptional I want to give it a high rating. But with so much weighing it down I can’t.

In the end, I found there is certainly fun to be had with Killer Queen Black. It provides a frantic coop experience that provides lots of potential for unique situations within the confines of its maps.

8.5 / 10.0 - BurgerTime Party
Oct 8, 2019

Burger Time Party! is an excellent example of how to modernize a classic from over 30 years ago and make it relevant again.

In the end, though these complaints cannot weight down the gaming experience that is The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. From the gorgeous visuals to the excellent puzzle design, this game offers a top-notch experience.

9 / 10.0 - Gears 5
Sep 11, 2019

Gears 5 more than lives up to that legacy. With only a couple hiccups, Gears 5 delivers a nearly flawless campaign I cannot endorse more wholeheartedly.
