Gris is art in motion and arguably the most gorgeous game I've played this year.
A must-have expansion to those players who dream of creating their own interstellar corporate empire.
On one side, we can’t deny we had a lot of fun dipping in and out of Just Cause 4. It’s an exciting, crazy sandbox with some wonderful tools and pretty non-stop action. The downside is - Just Cause 3 did most of this stuff a lot better.
With decent production values, interesting characters, visceral and demanding battles, and great writing, Mutant Year Zero is a game that is easy to recommend to those looking for a unique genre mashup in a fun, if not a bit overdone, setting. Playing on normal difficulty will require you to think a bit more tactically than that you're probably used to and it may cause some aggravation, but getting through the battles and progressing through the game is worth it.
The remastered version of the Indomitable Gauls' latest adventure is here, but is it worth going back to Las Vegum?
Jurassic World Evolution: Secrets of Dr Wu is a highly entertaining and worthwhile expansion to the main game,
Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don't Dry Review
A serviceable DLC that adds interesting new gameplay options to the game.
Life is Strange 2 isn't re-writing DONTNOD's rulebook when it comes to gameplay, but the tale being told this time around is a far bigger statement than their last. And it's only just begun.
Following the amazing Tomb Kings expansion, I wasn't expecting to see yet another curve ball, but The Curse of the Vampire Coast mostly delivers it.
Call of Cthulhu is an undeniably fun adventure game with some great ideas, cool stealth moments, and it never devolves into a shooter like Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth did.
Running meaningful industries in your city is like playing a game within a game. Suddenly feeling like an entire county builder, it's safe to say that the unstoppable force of Cities: Skylines just got a whole lot bigger.
The Conjuring House offers up some classic old-school Gothic horror, the kind that relies on the tension it creates along with the atmosphere that builds naturally. Sure, the gameplay itself may be a little dated, but the game does so much work in creating a legitimately unsettling experience that it's easy to excuse the constant need for finding this or that.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 is what happens when you safely positively iterate on a beloved game. It doesn't pull any punches and returns to the series' roots in a way that is both nostalgic and new. By adding more character depth, a new class and expanding the battlefields, Sega has really managed to capture my attention again. It might be too safe, but it's great to see such a solid new addition to a series of games that have had a few missteps.
It's nearly unheard of for a company to pick up the rights to a game franchise and actually do the damn thing justice, but here we are with Star Control: Origins. The adventure is fun, funny, and all together engaging. I'm probably as surprised as you are that the game is actually this good. Thankfully, Stardock really seems to have the same reverence and respect for Star Control as its biggest fans do.
A tale of two games, Frozen Synapse 2 is best when you're battling it out like you did in the original. Thankfully, that's a large portion of what you're doing in this game.
Lara Croft's latest adventure finally breaks the shadow of Uncharted
Two very good maps and a lazy shoddy cosmetic system can't justify the price point of Vermintide 2's first expansion
The final DLC expansion for Far Cry 5 is dead on arrival
Dharma continues Paradox's trend of iterating and improving the base game, but this expansion feels like it's only for the most loyal of EU4 players. With changes and improvements to systems that feel a bit dense and additions that feel like content for content's sake, it's all starting to feel disappointingly stale.
