PCWorld's Reviews
Resident Evil HD is a great remake, provided you contain the nostalgia to enjoy it.
Gat Out of Hell is a hell of a lot of fun. The flight mechanics are fantastic, the new arsenal of weapons is as creative as any other Saints Row title's, and the game basically fixes all the problems I had with Saints Row IV as an open-world game. It's a bite-sized portion to hold you over until the inevitable (and larger) Saints Row V.
[I]t's a demo, boxed up and sold as a stand-alone game. You'll have to decide what that's worth to you.
Starpoint Gemini 2 is sort of like a modern version of Freelancer, but the galaxy's looking pretty lifeless these days.
Endless Legend makes a few notable tweaks to the 4X genre and steals Civilization's lunch money in the process.
The Last Tinker looks like claymation, plays like a simple platformer, and is perfect to enjoy with the family (or by yourself).
This War of Mine conveys some horrific truths about civilian life during warfare, and it does so in a way that only video games can accomplish.
The Talos Principle's philosophical puzzling is the closest anyone's ever come to recapturing what made Portal special.
The Crew is a fantastic tribute to American car culture, but not a fantastic racing game.
Tony Hawk who? This skateboarding game turns America's favorite extreme sport into a puzzler, with excellent results.
Defense Grid proves it's still the best tower defense series on the market, but that's mainly because everyone else stopped trying.
Never Alone is a fairly ho-hum platformer with an intriguing hook—the culture of the Alaskan native Inupiat people.
Randal's Monday has a decent story, but playing through this point-and-click isn't worth the effort—illogical puzzles abound.
Far Cry 4 is a fantastic thrill ride, but it's going to feel awfully familiar to fans.
Alien: Isolation has its issues, but by-and-large it's the best stealth game of the year and a stunning tribute to Ridley Scott's universe.
Assassin's Creed: Unity would already be a mediocre game, but the quality of this PC port brings the series to new lows.
Dragon Age: Inquisition has some utterly amazing moments, but they're padded out by a fair amount of ho-hum filler.
I have no qualms about saying this is one of the best-written, best-voiced, and best-structured adventure series in all of gaming, and from this initial chapter I expect the same quality from Dreamfall: Chapters. If you haven't played The Longest Journey and Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, maybe check them out. And if you have? Well, there's still four chapters to go, but as far as I can tell this is the sequel you've been awaiting for seven years.
Whether or not you still watch South Park or ever were a die-hard fan, South Park: Pinball is an excellent and entertaining digital take on pinball that looks and feels like the real thing.
The space-themed Beyond Earth is polished, deep, and addictive—what more could you want from a Civilization game?
