For everyone else, it probably feels nice, but a little underwhelming in comparison to what is already available on Nexus.

85 / 100 - Leap of Fate
Apr 17, 2016

Honestly, I went into Leap of Fate with low expectations of just another twin-stick shooter and was very impressed overall.

…you're not always trying to kill everything on screen, you're trying to make damn well sure you don't ever get hit.

Aside from the quest being a tad short, there are some major positives and I think the Automatron DLC fits quite nicely with the rest of Fallout 4 in general.

As far as gameplay goes, if you've played anything by Telltale then you know what to expect: a story-driven game filled with dialogue choices, quick time events, and a bit of exploration.

35 / 100 - Bombshell
Feb 12, 2016

… ultimately what you're left with is a game that is worth far less than the asking price of thirty dollars.

You can eventually tie a stick of dynamite to a rat, who then runs after the first enemy he sees. It's devilishly awesome.

Make just a few simple mistakes and you're kicked back to the map, losing whichever gear you may have brought into your last attempt.

85 / 100 - The Bug Butcher
Jan 18, 2016

The art and animations all feel at home in the universe this studio has produced, giving a cartoony kid-friendly vibe that's violent but not over the top.

Instead of feeling like a clever rogue, I felt like an errand boy moving from A to B just to complete the next task.

There's also no sort of profile system, so the only way you can track wins/losses is by hand.

Unfortunately, even cool moments and great set pieces aren't enough to save any game from a serious lack of depth.

60 / 100 - Anno 2205

There's definitely a market for this game, but I completely understand why so many long-time fans are so upset.

Reload is much better than the mobile version and it’s a fun way to kill some time; however, being this unoriginal isn’t really going to turn any heads.

With new upgrades, new armour, new merchants, pretty much everything has a little bit of something new to it, Hearts of Stone is an add-on that you won't be disappointed with.

There is an absolute ton of payoff in this final episode, as there should be, and Telltale does an amazing job of wrapping up the season with laughs, tears, and some epic loot for these would-be vault hunters.

[I]f you like twin-stick shooters or arcadey indie games, do yourself a favour and download the demo for Assault Android Cactus. If you think it's worth your time and money, pick it up. You won't be disappointed.

While you won't be astounded or amazed, overall it's a pretty solid game.

70 / 100 - Back to Bed
Sep 17, 2015

Ultimately, Back To Bed is just sorely missing content even at the already low purchase price. It's a great idea with some fantastic art and a few really cool puzzles… but that's it. If you enjoy puzzle games and like the aesthetic, then Back To Bed is still priced very well and worth your money. Not a lot of studios can really portray that surreal feeling, but Bedtime Digital absolutely has and their game stands out because of it. However if you're looking for a difficult puzzler that will take you longer than an hour or two, keep looking.

Warlocks vs Shadows is a fun indie game that has a lot of variety to offer, but falls short in important areas like online capabilities and replay value. If you have spare controllers and friends to play with locally, this could easily be a great game to grind through over the weekend and then boot up occasionally for some PvP action.
