Adam Beck's Reviews
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.
IO Interactive has setup something potentially more impressive for future releases, with gameplay we've come to love and a taste of what feels like infinite possibilities spread throughout a single scenario.
There's nothing that gets your blood boiling and your heart racing like a hardcore strategy-RPG with perma-death, and Fire Emblem Fates fits that mold to a T.
Deponia Doomsday is a charming adventure that brings back all the humor from the past, but derives its puzzles on obscurities and trial and error.
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition for PC is plagued with a number of issues that vastly damage the experience.
We really wanted XCOM 2 to be something amazing, but unfortunately it falls short.
Rise of the Tomb Raider – Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch is a short piece that properly reflects its price point.
