The Darkside Detective is a charming point and click adventure with a taste for the sillier aspects of horror. Expect to see references to 80s and 90s pop culture while solving cases alongside the Darkside Division's finest. It's not the sort of game likely to stump players with inane item puzzles and that's a good thing. Some changes could have been made to further streamline the experience, but it works well enough without them.
Sundered has the basic foundation for a metroidvania/roguelike hybrid down pat, but its poor handling of enemy distribution and the otherwise fine combat that comes with it sadly drags it down.
Lionheart gets a couple things right, but overall results in a rather forgettable and generic experience.
Pyre represents another solid effort from Supergiant, as the awe-inspiring world, both in terms of design and depth, coupled with a lovable cast of heroes and villains, continue the studio's renowned streak for titles with big heart and unique gameplay.
Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Simulator has ample promise and a lot of heart, but wasn't given enough time to grow.
Yukie: A Japanese Winter Fairy Tale is a relatively short and unusual narrative tale that most players should be able to complete in three to five hours.
Super Cloudbuilt is an impressive upgrade from the original.
Splatoon 2 recaptures every moment of enjoyment of the original while finding room to add even more.
Milestone has taken MotoGP 17 in a great direction with a valiant leap.
One cannot comprehend who Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is meant to serve.
While what should be the biggest draw — the crossover and the story — falls flat on its face, Accel World vs Sword Art Online isn't a complete loss.
What's great about That's You right now is that it's free for PlayStation Plus members.
While a bit slow to get going, there's a great amount of variety in Iron Crypticle once the action heats up.
Black The Fall isn't exactly revolutionary when it comes to the world of atmospheric platformers, but it still excels in what it sets out to do.
Even after a decade, Final Fantasy XII remains one of the brightest beacons in the long-running franchise.
Excelling with its simulation aspect and deep career mode, MXGP 3 is a solid motocross title in a market that is virtually non-existent.
Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood is an exceptional expansion that unfortunately refuses to take any risks.
Get Even may be a bit polarizing depending on how you want to approach things in terms of gameplay and what you hope to get out of it, but it's advised that you see it all the way through, as the end result is a highly satisfying game with an engrossing story that delivers in creepy, emotional and thought-provoking moments that helps it stand out, especially with its more subtle presentation of morality in gaming.
Micro Machines World Series is a great buy for anyone who enjoyed prior entries in the series or simply wants a great racing game that the whole family can enjoy.
While the N. Sane Trilogy is by no means the perfect and/or flawless remaster fans and interested onlookers may have wanted, there's no denying that a lot of Vicarious' microscopic and macroscopic attention to detail alike is demonstrated sufficiently well in Crash's current-gen revisit.
