4 / 5.0 - Gears of War 4
Oct 6, 2016

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.

Being the last episode in the Minecraft: Story Mode story, the episode doesn’t really close out the story of the Order of the Stone as a whole and really only makes it an addition to one of the many adventures that Jessie will have.

3 / 5.0 - Mad Father
Oct 6, 2016

It must be noted that while fortunately the game never had an issue running on my PC, there have been simply too many reports from gamers to ignore the crashes or save bug as a rarity.

There’s a lot to like about Carrie’s Order Up! The charming concept and visuals enhance its core frantic arcade gameplay.

3.5 / 5.0 - Thoth
Oct 6, 2016

The result of all its elements is a shooter that requires thought and planning, but Thoth won’t let you go light on the arcade reflexes, either.

4.5 / 5.0 - RunGunJumpGun

RunGunJumpGun is simple arcade action taken to its extremes.

3.5 / 5.0 - Aragami
Oct 5, 2016

Despite the occasional dips in performance — be it visually or aurally — and the rather unavoidable slip-ups with its 3D animation not quite flowing as majestically, Aragami‘s methodical and gracious pacing offers an interesting tale on stealth based on more than just the merits of its unique shadow-manipulation mechanics.

Being a player invested in the story and humor of this episodic King’s Quest, I’m glad that I played through Snow Place Like Home.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 doesn’t radically change the formula of the first game beyond adding a new character.

Combining an action RPG with a building game is an unusual combination, but great care was done to ensure that fans of both can be satisfied by this and the freedom to play the game in a way most compatible to the individual player’s preference only makes it better.

Even with a couple of glaring issues, declaring Once Upon a Climb the best series entry is a non-issue.

4.5 / 5.0 - Seraph
Oct 2, 2016

Seraph is not just a great game, but a triumphant one built on fusing engaging gameplay with an elegantly-arranged world environment as well as an upgrade system that rewards both statistical investment and personal experimentation. A testament to the design philosophy that if an idea is good, it's usually very good.

The Metronomicon is bright and upbeat fusion of two genres that shouldn’t fit together as well as they do.

As a penultimate episode to the first season, Freedom Fighters makes an effective statement, even though there are flaws in its execution.

4 / 5.0 - FIFA 17
Sep 28, 2016

By and large, sports games are an easy year in and year out moneymaker for a lot of companies who have a stranglehold on their market.

4 / 5.0 - Solitairica
Sep 28, 2016

With the right mindset, the game design is perfect for a brain cleanse or to serve as a half distraction while contemplating a more complex problem. The one thing holding it back is the pacing. Were an option added to resolve this, it would be a title to reign supreme among the cat game genre.

Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice has a forgettable story and some rather tedious, but optional, side missions.
