While this reboot of the classic Master of Orion series isn’t perfect, it packs massive amounts of replayability, with endless tactics and strategies to be explored.
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.
Valley plays host to movement mechanics that feel awesome to use and a story that eventually becomes worthwhile.
It's impressive how good Strike Vector EX really is.
Even for someone as apathetic and straight-faced as me, I rarely deny comedy the opportunity to lift a smile on my face.
King of Fighters XIV has some rough edges, but is outstanding overall.
Grow Up is a worthy follow up to Grow Home.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the epitome of the phrase, one step forward, two steps back.
Even with some moments where the game feels a bit too frantic, damned if Okhlos isn't a ton of fun.
To clear the palate, and because it’s so much fun, I put some time in with Robotron 2084 after I decided I was done with this game.
It’s fantastic to see Umineko When They Cry available on Steam.
Despite the sheer amount of complaints that you can throw at No Man’s Sky, it’s still a breathtaking experience that teases the possibilities of the medium’s future.
Many expansion packs can easily be dismissed as “more of the same for those that want it.” Unto the Evil sidesteps this. It’s an easy recommendation to players that liked everything about the speed and feel of the combat but disliked the maps; these new ones are so much more enjoyable.
With a bit more content, Blade Ballet could have the potential to be another multiplayer classic, which is why hopefully we’ll see more additions to it in the future.
New Retro Arcade: Neon realizes an immensely cool idea but that idea alone requires further refinement to become a must-play.
Assault Suit Leynos is exactly what a remake should be.
People can argue the merit and worth of roguelikes until the sun goes down, but while they’re not the most assorted or varied of role-playing experiences, what makes Brut@l work is the very procedural nature of its design.
The first episode of Bear With Me still hints at a greater game to come, nicely setting a proper noir tone with some occasional creepy bits and a gleeful dose of snark throughout.
At its best, Super Challenge is a commendable and well-sought (if not fully diverse) expansion to Mutant Mudds’ already satisfying take on the less-is-more approach to game design.
While the PC port is a little janky, the actual game of Little King’s Story is as instantly likeable as it’s ever been.
