GameSpot's Reviews
This beautiful cyberpunk playground holds a staggering amount of detail but not enough reasons to stay.
Shallow puzzles and frustrating navigation mar an otherwise beautiful experience.
Endless Space 2 provides loads of 4X strategizing and space-opera-styled storytelling in this epic about building an intergalactic empire.
Zombies Chronicles takes a good combination of maps and upgrades them with great attention to detail.
The ambitious-but-flawed Birthdays the Beginning is packed with charm, but suffers from a clunky interface and confusing systems.
Justin Clark completed Farpoint's campaign in about five and a half hours and spent another two fooling around in Challenge mode--and didn't even have to take a Dramamine this time.
Mages of Mystralia has charm and a lot of heart, but it falls a bit short of delivering a memorable adventure.
The Surge is an entertaining twist on the Dark Souls formula that strikes a tenuous balance between iteration and invention.
Fire Emblem Echoes' combat and exploration work so well that you won't lament the absence of the series' recent dating-sim whims.
NetherRealm sets a new bar for fighting games in 2017 with Injustice 2, despite over-complicating its most distinct feature.
Prey squanders its narrative opportunities but develops into an engaging open-world shooter.
Even if Playgrounds' single-player mode lacks the unbridled merriment that makes multiplayer so enjoyable, finally getting the upper hand in a tournament is rewarding and exciting in its own way. But even at its best, Playgrounds doesn't offer enough variety to keep you engaged for long.
Strafe doesn't do too much, but its exceptional execution and unique charm make for a truly intense, old-school FPS experience.
Expeditions: Viking is a rough-hewn game with an abundance of charm. Deep role playing and nuanced, tactical combat save this technical mess.
Super Rude Bear is a tough-as-nails platformer that gives meaning to your every death and provides a nonstop stream of new challenges from beginning to end.
Pinstripe's spooky atmosphere will catch your eye, but its straightforward puzzles and clunky combat may cause you to look the other way.
However you manage it, it's as rewarding to survive as it is frustrating to fail. But when those rewards start to feel further and further apart, it can be difficult to keep coming back for another climb.
For a game that relies on character interaction and puzzles to tell its story, Syberia 3 falls well short of being enjoyable and fails to deliver a captivating or impactful experience.
Little Nightmares' brief length may leave you craving more, but its haunting story and visuals make it a journey well worth taking.
Storylines finally converge satisfyingly in Thicker Than Water, the penultimate chapter of the New Frontier.
