Wanted: Dead is not a game for everyone. The tone is weirdly all over the place, the premise and writing are weird, voice acting is absolutely weird, but the gameplay is special. This is a love letter to hard as f*** PS2 era games and if you understand what that means, then this is definitely a game for you.
Apart from some cutscene jank, Scars Above is still a fantastic new release that delivers a really great gaming experience.
Dredge is a delightful game that I easily recommend to anyone. In the start you might have to grind a little so that you can upgrade your ship, but once you’re over that wave, it’s smooth sailing.
Punching, bashing, slicing, dropkicking, and exploding virtual monsters have never looked and felt this beautiful, gory, brutal, and satisfying. Dead Island 2 is truly impressive and I highly recommend you play it.
The game’s attention to detail, immersive world-building, and engaging combat make Hogwarts Legacy a must-play for anyone looking to experience the magic of the wizarding world. I highly recommend playing this game.
On paper, Death or Treat should work. An action hack-and-slash rogue-lite 2D game with beautiful hand-drawn environments sounds cool, right? Unfortunately, a subpar gameplay experience and horrible performance make this a tough game to recommend.
Viewfinder needs to be celebrated as one of the freshest, coolest and mind-blowing puzzle games that you've probably ever played.
Ultimately, I found Fort Solis to be a gorgeous boring walking simulator. I respect it for what it achieves in terms of the insane production value, but I wish it featured some more engaging gameplay.
With its breathtaking visuals, engaging gameplay, and humorous storytelling, Immortals of Aveum is a truly enjoyable experience.
If you have played the game back in 2010 with fond memories of it and you have 50 bucks to waste, then absolutely go for it as the game is as good as you remember it. But if you are on a budget, there are newer and better games you can spend your hard earned cash.
Bang-On Balls: Chronicles is a riot of a game. It might not be as flashy as those big-budget titles, but it's got heart and creativity in spades.
There are no real puzzles to solve, there's no combat, there's just you trying to traverse through gorgeous landscapes, claustrophobic places and other things I won't mention, trying to figure out what happened and that's absolutely enough. The Invincible is brilliant and I strongly recommend you playing it.
Unfinished, unpolished and with seemingly random puzzles just thrown in makes FINIS extremely hard for me to recommend to anyone.
By sticking close to beloved formulas and polishing every element with care and competence, it has earned its place among the greats of its genres. For fans of Soulslikes and Metroidvanias looking for another vampire to sink their teeth into, The Last Faith will quench thirsts both holy and damned.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 might not be the threequel we all deserved, but in no way in hell it's a 4/10 game
Worldless is a fantastic game. It's a Metroidvania game done right, with a beautiful and unique interconnected world to explore, interesting traversal and extremely challenging combat.
Dreams of a quality Christmas Metroidvania go unfulfilled. Ebenezer and the Invisible World offers little but disappointment and frustration. Avoid this Scrooge of a game, unless a major updates arrives before Christmas.
Motorcycle Simulator 2021 is good, but only for the patient simulation aficionados.
While The Pale Reach delivers more of what makes Dredge such a unique experience, there simply isn't enough here to justify the cost of admission for all but the series' most dedicated fans.
Alan Wake 2 is undoubtably one of the finest narrative-driven experiences available on any platform currently. Remedy Entertainment has truly outdone themselves in crafting not just a great sequel, but a masterwork of storytelling, atmosphere and gameplay that will surely stand the test of time.
