88 / 100 - Fallout 4
Nov 9, 2015

A brilliant, massive sandbox of systems, albeit largely the same one Bethesda has been making for years.

A great expansion, and a promising sign of things to come. Some minor issues aside, Heart of Thorns is a clever addition to one of the best MMOs around.

Beautiful, touching and messy. Life Is Strange is good—not great—but I'd recommend it to anyone.

A worthy end to Dragon Age: Inquisition. A lengthy quest with a satisfying pay-off makes up for some unimaginative encounters.

A fun, if lightweight, stealth combat game. The turn-based fighting isn't perfect, but remains entertaining enough to be worth a look.

A perfect blend of science and slapstick, and a robust and compelling sandbox of possibility. Simply outstanding.

Gat Out of Hell offers all the open-world distractions of a Saints Row game, but precious little of what made the last two so remarkable.

A fantastic campaign and massive open environments, soured only slightly by minor, persistent flaws.

Makes you work a lot for very little. The repetitive churn of missions and activities further spoil an only occasionally entertaining shooter.

Satisfying arcade skate-'em-up that's fun from the off, and promises many hours on the hard path to mastery.

Clever questing and a stand-out combat system make for an entertaining MMO that's as large as it is full of character.

78 / 100 - Tropico 5
May 23, 2014

Not a dramatic reinvention, but still an enjoyable game of construction, economics and election fraud.

The high-point of a consistently strong series, and a great showcase of adventure game design that fits the story's theme.

An entertaining and efficient strategy game that improves on its predecessor—just not all that much.

Rambling plot aside, Burial at Sea, Episode 2 is an entertaining stealth-lite shooter with a likeable lead.

Masochistic stat-chasers will find much to enjoy, but Blackguards' varied combat is no substitute for a fully-formed RPG.

Feb 6, 2014

Stylish, inventive and easily one of the funniest games in years. Jazzpunk just wants to make you laugh. Don't worry, it will.

Burial at Sea, Episode One is good but not essential - the only piece of BioShock story content you could say that about.
