GamingBolt's Reviews

8 / 10.0 - Strider
Mar 5, 2014

Strider is an excellent revival of a classic franchise that will appeal to old fans and create new ones. If you like excellent combat and the Metroidvania style of design, you should definitely check it out.

6 / 10.0 - Thief
Feb 24, 2014

Thief is an inconsistent game that has just as many failings as it does successes. Fans of the stealth genre will find a lot to like here, but a number of poor design decisions keep it from reaching the heights of its predecessors.

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is a magnificent return to the series that provides replay value a million times over.

Don't Starve won't appeal to everyone, but fans of unique titles with punishing survival games and enormous game worlds will find a lot to like here, even if things do get a little repetitive later on.

Despite a few minor set-backs within its graphical options and overall appearance, Might and Magic Legacy X is an enjoyable game that fans of the Old School owe it themselves to play.

7.5 / 10.0 - NES Remix
Feb 6, 2014

NES Remix is like a museum that has mucked around with its exhibits to great effect. It's a wonderful, lunatic, quirky offering that offers Nintendo's past through a new lens and new perspective, adding some substance to our nostalgia.

Island Tour retards the Mario Party formula, removing all the new features of Mario Party 9, while giving very little back to help keep players engaged.

8 / 10.0 - Strike Vector
Feb 4, 2014

Strike Vector is an excellent arena shooter with unique ideas and great gameplay that's held back by a lack of maps and modes, and a poor tutorial. Still, this is an excellent game and fans of arena shooters should definitely check it out.

Octodad: Deadliest Catch is a silly game with a silly yet simple idea, and it works well in just being that.

6 / 10.0 - Dr. Luigi
Jan 28, 2014

At a lower price, it would have been a good game worthy of recommendation, but at this price, stay away- there's better things on the Wii U eShop that deserve your attention anyway.

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is a tough sell for those who have already embarked on Lara's adventure, but those who have never played it will find a lot to like here, and the numerous upgrades make this the best version available to those without access to a gaming PC.

Simply put, Max is a fantastic indie game and a far better purchase than many of the others currently available for download. In Curse of Brotherhood, Xbox One has a fun, good-looking platformer at a budget price. Highly recommended.

6 / 10.0 - Shadow Warrior 2
Jan 1, 2014

Decidedly old-school but feeling a bit uninspired, Shadow Warrior 2 is fun for some straightforward co-op action. It could have been more but what's there is good enough.

Dec 25, 2013

NBA Live 2014 marks EA's return to the basketball sim, but there's little reason to play it when NBA 2K14 exists.

7 / 10.0 - War Thunder
Dec 10, 2013

War Thunder is a good game with a lot of potential, but a slew of small problems make it hard to recommend to players who aren't already fans of the genre.
