Don't like grey areas? Just become the Borg via the hive mind belief system
The fantastic combat and strong story points far outweigh the technical missteps and more cringeworthy moments.
the ability to make the gun point at the right spot is the difference between gaming nirvana and controller chucking rage. Go ahead and ask my controller where this experience leaned.
It’s hokey and drawn out, but taps into nostalgia for the series admirably
When punch, punch, launcher kick, jump, insane piledriver is an option, I tend to get creative whenever possible.
While very much an extension of the previous title, there are several welcome enhancements that should put the game on the radar of any serious turn-based fan.
The translation is unbelievably, hilariously bad.
_____________________________ Exploration and empire expansion are genuinely captivating.
This is a tense, engaging, and cerebral strategy experience that sets a new bar for the genre.
Final Fantasy IX is the best of PS1 era Squaresoft, with a whimsical and heartwarming story, nuanced battle system, and thought provoking premises.
If you're looking for a really short review, here it is: Salt & Sanctuary is Dark Souls in 2D.
Go on; spend an afternoon with Firewatch. It has a few unsightly spots, but it's still a tremendous and thought provoking experience for anyone who loves a good adventure.
The force is strong-ish with this one.
Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't the biggest open world game. It doesn't have the most quests or the most collectibles, and heck, you don't even climb tall structures without a darn good reason. What Rise of the Tomb Raider has in spades is balance. Everything about the experience screams quality, and every objective has a good reason for existing.
Sadly, Pulse is a linear experience, with a critical route that must be followed. Curiosity sapped.
Fantastic setting makes up for lackluster gameplay.
Transformers Devastation is a great action game marred by a few design hiccups. Camera issues can make combat a chore, but that combat is extremely satisfying at its core. Fans of cartoons, action games, comics, Transformers, and fun will likely have a good time with Platinum's latest. Is it the best they've done? No. Is it still a good time? Heck yes.
Another slam dunk from 2K Sports
FIFA 16 stands as a high water mark for soccer games, and sports games as a genre. Its nicely balanced gameplay and innovative feature implementations reaffirm the franchise as an industry standard, and soccer fans everywhere are going to love it.
[F]ans of the anime might find something of value here provided they can tolerate game design that was bad 10 years ago. Equally, fans of Dynasty Warriors will probably go nuts for this title as it rehashes the same old ideas with new characters. For my money, I'd steer entirely clear unless you have a borderline unhealthy obsession with One Piece or Dynasty Warriors, or just really want to wipe out thousands of brainless enemies (which is cool – everybody has their vices).
