Overruled feels like something that would have been on the first Xbox at the same price. The gameplay has its place in the systems' library, but there is a lot of room for improvement here.
This is one of the few times where a re-master would have sufficed in place of a new title.
A very niche title, and disappointing even at just $2.
A vast improvement over the first game. Fixes most of the problems with the first game and accommodates players of all skill levels.
A difficult game that is best played in short, frustrating, happy bursts.
Dangerous Golf is a fun game best played in short bursts and with friends.
A fun, short-lived game that's one of the better Walking Dead experiences roaming the market.
One of the harder-to-obtain Resident Evil titles is finally widely available. If you like Resident Evil it's worth playing, but don't expect something on par with the series' other older titles.
A different episodic experience that excels based on its gameplay and not its story. The hook has been established but the next installment of the story is going to have to come harder.
The gameplay in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, Episode 2 is still strong, but the story and the environments need to improve to stop dragging the game down
Castle Crashers Remastered keeps the game relevant to Xbox again and comfortably keeps a void in the systems library filled.
Episode 4 ends the experience on a good note and having seen the conclusion; I would say that Resident Evil: Revelations 2 is another successful entry in this side series. It excels in replay value and overall fun value, and the unlockables and the Raid mode pushes the value over the edge.
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 offers good combination of multiplayer third-person shooter gameplay and platformer collect-a-thons of days past.
A unique genre entry that takes the combat the Musou series is known for and scales the size of enemies rather than the number of them on the battlefield.
Episode 3 picks up the pace and is where the story is starting to hit its stride. The balance of puzzles and combat is great, although Claire's section is far more enjoyable than Barry's. There's a lot riding on Episode 4 next week to bring the game to a satisfying conclusion.
A fresh direction for the series that acknowledges the characters that made it what it is, while adding enough new characters to make this entry worth playing.
Solid gameplay and core but light on content. It will be exciting to see what's coming in the future, but I can't help but be somewhat disappointed with the initial set of modes.
Rare Replay is a well-done collection of titles and special features, and is almost as much of a no-brainer purchase for every Xbox One owner as Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
I'm glad to have it on next-gen, but there are quite a few issues to be ironed out. With the amount of support Tecmo has given this game with DLC and the optional F2P version, I'm sure that these issues will be fixed in due time.
Mortal Kombat X is a feature-packed experience that sets the bar high for content in fighters this gen. While it doesn't eclipse the previous Mortal Kombat's amount of content, it does surpass all of its other competitors.
