GameSpot's Reviews
Ever Oasis' tight blend of mechanics and activities are bound to keep you coming back for more well after completing it, if only to see what else you can do to develop your desert sanctuary. While the game's story isn't particularly moving, the consistent gratification of its incisive design makes it a satisfying adventure. Ever Oasis takes time to grow, but the return is well worth the wait.
While satisfying at times, poor story presentation and an abundance of superfluous elements make Valkyria Revolution less than the sum of its parts.
It's still somewhat thrilling to inhabit the captain's chair on the bridge of a starship--at the bare minimum, Star Trek: Bridge Crew accomplishes that mission. When the game is at its best, the spirit of cooperation between various asymmetrical elements is encouraging--even special. In every other regard, however, Bridge Crew is forgettable the second you pull out of VR.
With all of the extras added in the various expansion packs, the game now feels a little more like a municipal engineer or municipal planner simulation than anything that properly depicts what it's like to be the mayor overseeing everything. Even with that caveat, Mass Transit adds more character and depth to what's already the premier city-building simulation.
The Farm 51's psychological thriller tells a story you won't forget.
The spirit of Robotron lives again in Housemarque's brilliant and blistering Nex Machina.
Surviving in Impact Winter's brutally cold apocalypse makes for a tense adventure, but it's marred by a number of technical problems that exacerbate an already arduous task.
Reservoir Dogs: Bloody Days attempts to pay homage to its source material, but it fails capture the essence of the cult-classic film that inspired it.
The Fidelio Incident can be a beautiful and touching game, but it's too often bogged down by shallow objectives.
The second episode of Telltale's Guardians of the Galaxy series takes on a slower pace with more focus on characters (and drama).
The Town of Light examines mental illnesses and the hospitals meant to treat them in the early 1900s, but ultimately fails to stick the landing.
Arms' unique take on fighting can be hard to adjust to, but once you do, it's a surprisingly deep fighter that has you thinking on your feet.
Steel Division is an aggressive, focused tactical game that deftly leverages historical realism to create unique twists on the RTS formula.
Some odd dramatic choices and a less-than-satisfying conclusion wrap up the New Frontier season of The Walking Dead.
Dirt 4 is a grounded and thrilling racing experience with customisable difficulty options that should appeal to newcomers and veterans alike.
This remastered trio splendidly captures Studio Liverpool's turn-of-the-decade hover racing renaissance.
Despite some faults outside of the ring, Tekken 7's diverse cast and time-honored fighting system make it one of the best 3D fighting games around.
A week after launch, Friday the 13th remains the buggy and sometimes-broken game it was on the day of its release.
Danger Zone is the beating heart of a concept in search of a full-fledged game to pump life into. While it won't satisfy your lust for chaos the way the Burnout games once did, Danger Zone provides enough thrills to make you want that hypothetical successor more than ever.
A novel and inventive approach to first-person exploration falls short of its ambitions.
