Adam Beck's Reviews
After such a long wait, PlayStation 4 users finally get to experience Rise of the Tomb Raider in all its glory, and then some.
Don’t go into Gears of War 4 expecting a thought provoking story; go into it for its action packed scenarios, superb multiplayer experience and top tier shooting mechanics.
System Rift is a short but sweet experience.
As a penultimate episode to the first season, Freedom Fighters makes an effective statement, even though there are flaws in its execution.
Forza Horizon 3 retains everything we’ve come to love about the open world racer while incrementally improving upon its formula.
In 2016, Dead Rising is fantastic nostalgic trip that benefits from the higher resolution, frame rate and graphical options greatly, despite the overall textures and models not being as magical as they once were.
Even in 2016, Resident Evil 4 remains one of the best action games available.
Hitman – Episode 4: Bangkok has a lot of good going for it, but doesn’t quite live up to the excitement that has been established in the past.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the epitome of the phrase, one step forward, two steps back.
I Am Setsuna seems like the perfect game for those missing the Golden Age of Japanese RPGs, but unfortunately it has been painted with a shallow brush.
Even at the budgeted price point, Resident Evil 5’s reemergence feels a bit disappointing.
Hitman Episode 3: Marrakesh is the least impressive installment thus far, but it still holds up as a decent distraction.
Finally, Final Fantasy X and its sequel have breached a platform outside of the PlayStation family and it comes with positive tidings.
Naughty Dog has done it again, creating a cinematic marvel that sets the bar for the action genre.
The second episode of Hitman is a satisfying adventure that’s once again dragged down by technical issues.
Final Fantasy IX for PC is surprisingly well done for a sixteen year old port.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: Cold Darkness Awakened has a lot of promise, focusing on the strong stealth and puzzle mechanics that made the core game so popular, but unfortunately it fails to leave a lasting impression.
Dark Souls III is shorter than what we've come to expect, but it's also more consolidated to give players exactly what they're looking for without any unnecessary fluff.
Quantum Break has an identity crisis going on for itself, not knowing if it wants to be a TV show, action game or puzzle platformer.
EA Sports Canada has improved upon the UFC formula greatly, although plenty of the modes still feel shallow.
