Insomniac Games has created the single greatest Spider-Man game and one of the best based on a comic book.
Even as a relative newcomer to the sim game space, I found myself enjoying my time with Two Point Hospital. Minor bugs and functionality wishes aside, one can do pretty much everything they need to in order to succeed here.
Planet Alpha creates an amazing atmosphere thanks to its visual and audio design.
Morphies Law is the rare multiplayer game these days where the offline mode is the vastly superior option.
It may have been a long wait, but it was well worth it.
Strange Brigade is one of those difficult games to review, the one where for every positive thing you have to say about it, there's a downside related to or accompanying it in some way or another.
Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate is simply one of the best entries the series has to offer.
Truth be told, these are but brief and minor gripes in what is a twenty hour quest (should you aim for a full 100% completion) chock full of charm, wit and some of the most mechanically-sound and cleverly-designed platforming you're likely to find this side of 2018.
Much credit should be given to HB Studios for what it has done with The Golf Club franchise.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 is the best remake yet for the series and the absolute best way to enjoy the franchise's second entry.
Shenmue I and II isn't a perfect collection, but it is the best overall way to experience two remarkable games.
While there are clearly some efforts to distinguish from other platformers of an allotted, check-list fashion on a visual/world-building sense, the inevitable blurring-together of seen-before sparse storytelling and relative simplicity in appearance mean that The King's Bird doesn't quite excel as a complete package.
Little Dragons Café first appears as though it requires constant attention to every little detail, but actually makes for a relaxing time.
Guacamelee! 2 is exactly the kind of game a sequel should be in terms of its gameplay.
Done Running is proof that Telltale still has plenty of ideas to innovate and reinvigorate the adventure genre, where even small changes including new camera perspectives and an improved presentation can go a long way, even if the story hasn't quite found its footing yet.
Fire Pro Wrestling World is the best entry in the longest-running wrestling game franchise.
F1 2018 brings the complete Formula One experience to your cockpit.
Evergarden starts off looking fairly simple, but the more you play the deeper its options become.
Daedalic's fixation with transhumanism takes State of Mind and puts it in a similar bracket as many of its counterparts that have created an advanced tech-infused world.
Much like Contrast before it, We Happy Few shows off plenty of potential with its original and engaging world from a team whose passion and heart clearly shines through.
