Butcher is not an innovative title by any means, but that is also kind of the point.
While not without some issues, Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour is absolutely a worthwhile release of an absolute classic.
By the end of Thumper, the speed is insane, the music wild and oppressive, and the feeling of just barely holding on to a beast that wants to send you flying so it can gnaw your bones is disturbingly strong.
It wouldn't be surprising for Mafia III to emerge as the AAA game with the best story of 2016 as Lincoln Clay's revenge tale, and its wonderful documentary-style presentation, are engrossing from beginning to end, with a host of unique characters that make New Bordeaux feel unlike anywhere else in video games.
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.
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.
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.
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.
RunGunJumpGun is simple arcade action taken to its extremes.
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.
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.
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.
