Forza Horizon 3 retains everything we’ve come to love about the open world racer while incrementally improving upon its formula.
At its core, Dear Esther represents an exploration (or walking simulator, if that’s one’s preferred assessment) title for exploration fans.
To this date there has never been a football sim that has handled gameplay the way PES 2017 does.
Much like the actual dance, if you can get some friends together, Conga Master is a potential blast.
Project Highrise is the kind of game that grabs a hold of players and doesn’t let go.
60 Seconds! is a blast (groan).
BioShock: The Collection successfully brings three of the best games from the last-generation to the current-generation, but not without a few hiccups.
Legion injects excitement into a game that for the past year has survived on being better than most.
There are always going to be games released that don’t quite meet the high’s you’re led to believe prior to getting rigorously stuck into the depth of gameplay and technical stability underpinning the experience.
Despite a few small details holding it back, Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander is one of those titles that cannot be recommended enough to fans of 4X games, JRPGs or space-based science fiction.
MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death is a good though unremarkable game.
In 2016, Dead Rising is fantastic nostalgic trip that benefits from the higher resolution, frame rate and graphical options greatly, despite the overall textures and models not being as magical as they once were.
Despite its problems, it's not hard to envision a world in which a few changes along the way could have turned ReCore into a cult hit.
For as cool as The Tomorrow Children looks, there is far too much monotony in its moment-to-moment gameplay to warrant a recommendation.
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 represents another strong, well-produced arcade title for this classic character, cementing his continued relevance multiple decades later in a way only a few non-Nintendo franchises have been able to.
Wrath of Loki: VR Adventure is a rather short game that is designed to be completed in twenty to thirty minutes.
Psycho-Pass: Mandatory Happiness brings an established franchise into the visual novel world successfully.
DOGOS is close to being a fantastic free-roaming shooter and only held back by a few small issues and a giant glaring one.
Tadpole Treble is a game built for music lovers by music lovers. Its solid gameplay forms a perfect foundation for the music, which is the real star of the game, to take center stage. The level editor, however, is what gives Tadpole Treble real staying power. The type of feature that could make this a sort of cult classic, I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing YouTube videos of levels built in Tadpole Treble. If you like music, you should pick it up.
Seasons After Fall is unique in that its beautiful artistic style almost makes you forget about the lackluster gameplay. While it’s far from perfect, it still manages to be an enjoyable experience, especially for those who treat games as an experience rather than a task to be completed.
