It's likely that we will remember République for being the game with the some of the coolest collectible items in video game history rather than being an awesome experience.

3.5 / 5.0 - Sheltered
Mar 21, 2016

Despite any faults listed above, don’t get the wrong impression: Sheltered is a fun and challenging game, especially if you’re willing to put a lot of time into the game crafting the best shelter possible.

Much like last year’s treatment with Grim Fandango, Double Fine have successfully restored one of the true classics of the adventure game world and it is glorious indeed. While not as deep and story-rich as last year’s offering, Day of the Tentacle more than makes up for it in humor, style, unique gameplay and a truckload of charm. So put on some Janet Jackson, travel back to an age where adventure games were king and enjoy the ride. Now to begin the wait for Full Throttle Remastered next year…

For as many flaws as this game has, it should also be reported that I spent my entire time playing this title with a big, stupid grin on my face.

Mar 16, 2016

EA Sports Canada has improved upon the UFC formula greatly, although plenty of the modes still feel shallow.

Even with unfortunate performance hiccups, it’s safe to say Ravegan have created one of the more interesting and cleverly addictive shoot ’em ups in recent years.

Despite a few noticeable warts, The Division's highs are high enough to warrant millions of players sticking around for a significant amount of time.

Mortal Kombat XL retains the same great gameplay and content of the base game.

To make a fittingly Nintendo-affiliated comparison, Bravely Second: End Layer is to the 3DS what Bayonetta 2 was to the Wii U: a sequel with its own respectable amount of anticipation that, while offering little by way of drastic change, delivers more than enough fresh and returning moments to remind us all (new and veteran players alike) why such a release struck an immeasurable chord in the first place.

3.5 / 5.0 - Shardlight
Mar 9, 2016

While Shardlight isn’t as much of a potential classic as some of the other games that Wadjet Eye has released, it is still quite enjoyable and worth checking out for a quick spell.

While the story can be a bit much at times, The Witch and the Hundred Knight's gameplay makes returning to Metallia's swamp a tempting prospect.

2.5 / 5.0 - We Are the Dwarves
Mar 8, 2016

We Are The Dwarves shouldn't be completely dismissed, as it still at least has some neat ideas, controls nicely and looks pretty, but it comes across being so viciously unfair that it can only be recommended to the most hardcore fans of this genre. I was constantly finding myself too frustrated at the game to enjoy it, but to those willing to invest hours upon hours of seeing dwarves die over and over, knock yourself out.
