Steve Esposito's Reviews
As a devoted Dungeons and Dragons player, I can respect Dark Alliance for attempting to bridge the tabletop experience and the virtual plane. Unfortunately, the game is lackluster and has more flaws than redeemable qualities.
Outriders overstays its welcome with gameplay that goes from being really fun, to overly generic and boring without introducing many changes to its formula
Unfortunately, Godfall will become an example of what happens to a game when you rush it, knowing that it isn’t ready for market.
Kinetic Edge is a basic experience that does not rise to the top of the “gauntlet” style of titles currently out there in the market.
Lost Wing is a simple game that takes the genre that is rather dull and adds a ton of flare.
Slave Zero X will get frustrating, but as we have learned over the years: sometimes a tough experience can yield the greatest rewards.
In a world of jump scares and bland, YouTuber fodder, the game stands out. It isn’t necessarily because of the muppets or the fact that the main character is named Gordon as an homage to the Sesame Street character; it is because, as a full package, the game works.
I think a lot of people who really enjoy puzzle games will get a lot from The Entropy Center. It might be a bit darker and tonally dark compared to other similar titles out there, but it does deliver a rather enjoyable and rewarding experience.
I find Gotham Knights to have charm to it with a solid roster of characters, an interesting storyline, and elements that really immersed me into the mystery of Gotham.
A Tiny Sticker Tale is a welcoming experience that brings kids into this neat little world and can easily bring a family together.
I give the developers a ton of credit for creating an RPG with unique mechanics and story that is every bit cliche as it is great.
Dwerve managed to break into my top 10 titles of the year (so far). It is witty, colorful, and fun. It may be a bit simple, and difficulty may fluctuate at times, but I still found it all incredibly enjoyable.
Tight gameplay, beautiful cinematography, and the yells of my slain foes are only a few parts of what makes this game incredibly enthralling.
Horizon Forbidden West contains a ton of interesting and new concepts that help evolve the franchise, but it could have gone further when it comes to performance.
While Call of Duty: Vanguard doesn’t quite hit the nail on the head when it comes to historical accuracy, it sure is an enjoyable, bombastic time.
This is one of the few games that makes me realize that I don’t need over the top graphics or an Excel sheet’s worth of mechanics to experience something fun. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is the experience I've wanted for the last six years.
Much like playing an instrument, Power Chord is all about learning, adapting, and creating beautiful music to the beat of slaying demons.
For a deck building rogue-like, a concept I have seen so many times over, Balatro thrives within its style.
Cassette Beasts is a wonderful time. When it comes to monster capturing and fighting games, I'll take Cassette Beasts over anything else.
LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is full of heart and appreciation for the material that would make Star Wars fans rejoice, even if each chapter isn’t filled to the brim with a litany of content.
