I've enjoyed For Honor immensely and I'm still looking for spare time to play it for a few more hours. The game is beautiful, the fighting is satisfying, and having a decent challenge for once just makes the experience all that more rewarding.
The expansion brings with it some of the best innovations that the game has seen in several years. Not to mention all of those dungeons. Yes, ALL of the dungeons. Let’s not even get into the gear. Bottom line, there’s a lot of fun to be had here and it’s going to keep you busy for a long time. If you play Everquest 2, get this expansion. Now.
Batman: The TellTale Series feels like it gives you the chance to make a lot of important feeling decisions, but sometimes it’s in situations that immediately feel contrived. Later use of them may slightly help redeem them, and choices that continue themes of the game — personal vs. private life, justice vs. vengeance, society vs. the individual– still feel relevant, it’s just a shame that the plot’s seams sometimes become very exposed.
Overall, there’s a lot of personality bursting out from the game.
If you’re looking for some quick, simply, local multiplayer fun, prefer the old Mario Party mechanics, or want a board game that isn’t boring, Mario Party Star Rush won’t let you down.
Hide and Shriek isn’t a game that will be recalled in the annals of video gaming history, but it is such a unique and enjoyable experience that it’s difficult not to recommend, especially to anyone who adores Halloween and the season’s general tone.
Syndrome is a fun, frightening reminder that space is a scary place. Being trapped on a spaceship is terrifying and isolating. However, it could be quite frustrating at times. I couldn’t play for extended periods of time because I don’t enjoy repeating objectives or areas over and over. That said, it was atmospherically wonderful. The visual and sound design alone make it a great game for horror fans, especially those with a love for sci-fi.
While Crush Online attempts to do a lot of things, it doesn’t do any of them particularly well. Combat overall is rather clunky, unresponsive and feels outdated. The PvE zones are bland looking and the PvP combat is repetitive. Given the choice, I’d rather play an actual MMORPG when it comes to PvE or a true MOBA for PvP.
Evolve is a great game in my eyes, especially for a free game. I had a lot of fun playing it. Though I enjoyed playing as a Monster, I much preferred playing as a Hunter.
Time of Dragons is a smooth aerial arena shooter that finally gives you the chance to fly around as a dragon shooting lasers and missiles.
So far, Atlas Reactor has delivered a very enjoyable gaming experience, but it has a long way to go.
In its current state I would even go as low as 5/10, but I feel that Eternal Crusade has a lot of potential. It is a fun game, and Behaviour Interactive wants to add in some really interesting features. While they won't be going for the MMO gameplay that many are expecting, they will have huge battlefields and a variety of areas players can fight for their faction.
Overall Fractured space is an interesting mix of naval warfare combined with the aesthetic of space that highlights the importance of movement and taking advantage of the diverse map design.
Destiny is a gorgeous game overall, and Rise of Iron’s frozen warrior aesthetic showcases this excellently. Felwinter Peak and the Plaguelands bring a sense of unforgiving chill, and the equipment that’s arrived with this expansion puts some medieval style in to the sci-fi world without feeling tacked on. Music, meanwhile, carries a similarly epic scope as powerful chorus arrangements and copious use of brass instruments make you feel like a true knight going to war.
Legion is everything it was promised to be and more; a part apology letter, part defiant challenge to any other games in the market thinking the old wolf was weakening. It is a love letter to its playerbase, to its most committed players, as well as the most approachable welcome to anybody coming back or starting fresh. It is the anti-Warlords of Draenor and, with the exception of FFXIV, the greatest comeback possibly in gaming history.
It plays much like any other great strategy game, and like I said, my biggest problem with it was the news interruptions that added very little to the gameplay and were just painful to watch.
No Man’s Sky is a victim of its own hype. The developers overpromised and under delivered. New content may well improve the game, but at least for this reviewer, the feeling of deflation after finally playing may be too much to recover from.
Episode 1 of Batman: The TellTale Series is well worth your time if you’re a Batman fan, and can act as a great way to introduce people to the character as well. Tweaking some of Batman’s traditional mythos and focusing more on Bruce Wayne makes the character more accessible to both new and old fans.
If you enjoy twin-stick shooters and/or action RPGs then you’ll likely enjoy it. For the meager price tag, I definitely recommend picking it up and trying it out.
The development team managed to bring the magic of TOS to STO: Agents of Yesterday in a big way. Not only do you get to use TOS models, you get to play with the old technology, interact with memorable characters, and explore TOS era ships.
