4 / 5.0 - Beat Cop
Mar 30, 2017

A few bugs aside, Beat Cop is a highly engrossing and addictive adventure, a cross between classic ’80s action and routine cop duty that makes for some extremely interesting gameplay as you get sucked in and even get attached to everyone in your little part of Brooklyn. Proper management and investigation skills are rewarded with satisfying results and advancements in various intriguing narratives, and the gameplay is the kind that’s enjoyably simple to learn and fun to work with.

Persona 5 is a once in a generation game.

Despite a lack of traversable areas and series-renowned stressful choices, “Above the Law” represents a solid and polished episode of the latest The Walking Dead season, thanks to some intriguing conflicts and character moment. While the season still doesn’t feel like it quite knows where it’s headed next, the intermediate episode gives players plenty of reasons to continue following the drama of the Garcia brothers.

Just like its real-life counterpart, MLB The Show 17 has become antiquated by today’s standards.

Dark Souls III: The Ringed City isn’t the swan song that we hoped it would be, but it’s still an enticing adventure for hardcore fans.

4 / 5.0 - Toukiden 2
Mar 27, 2017

Though the plot opens the door to some compelling storytelling only to trip while walking in, there are so many other reasons to give Toukiden 2 a spin.

Vikings – Wolves of Midgard takes the formula made popular by the game named after the Spanish word for devil and makes it its own.

4 / 5.0 - Snipperclips
Mar 21, 2017

Snipperclips gives players an overall enjoyable experience that allows them to sit down and relax while playing alone or with some friends.

Three of the new maps are fantastic and stand strong when compared to the base maps, but there's a strong sense of déjà vu about them. The final map, while good on paper, is ultimately brought down by poor design decisions, and the new weapons, while fun, are locked beyond arbitrary walls. There's a decent amount of content here, but it doesn't justify the asking price, or how long it's taken to actually get a substantial amount of new content in Battlefield 1.

4 / 5.0 - 88 Heroes
Mar 21, 2017

88 Heroes is an excellent 2D platformer that makes great use of a unique premise to make it infinitely replayable.

3.5 / 5.0 - Fast RMX
Mar 18, 2017

Anyone who enjoys racing games and owns a Switch does not have many options for games right now beyond FAST RMX. Fortunately, it should provide players with at least a dozen hours of gameplay as they work their way from the novice cups to more advanced races.

3 / 5.0 - DESYNC
Mar 17, 2017

Desync is not the worst first person shooter I have ever played, but it just doesn't bring anything to the table to make it that worthwhile either.

2.5 / 5.0 - Ghost Blade HD
Mar 15, 2017

For its price and what its trying to do, Ghost Blade HD isn’t the worst time.

The feeling of adventure has always been present in Zelda titles, but none of the previous titles have offered the same immense feeling of freedom as Breath of the Wild. The huge world offers hours upon hours of exploration that is well worth it, but will always show the way to continue moving forward in the story at any time.

A wisecracking goblin assassin may seem like an odd choice for a protagonist, but the titular character of Styx: Shards of Darkness is enjoyable to control.

Touhou Genso Wanderer is a worthy addition to any roguelike fan's collection, and even more so for Touhou fans as there are references to their other games throughout this one.
