Birth. Movies. Death.'s Reviews
The fantasies I want to fulfil aren’t found in the trenches.
Bungie has tied a neat little bow on a game that started as a clumsy experiment and grew into a handsome online experience.
At four or so hours, it’s an incredibly concentrated burst of imagination that outdoes its predecessor in just about every way.
Horizon: Zero Dawn is not just a great game - it's straight-up great science fiction.
I can foresee a dedicated core of combat nerds jamming the shit out of For Honor, but it’s definitely not for everyone.
Contained yet sprawling, outwardly simple yet inwardly complex, Cyan has delivered a welcome change of pace from 2016’s action-heavy release schedule.
One of the few open-world action games where I’d rather just zip around collecting crystals.
The game treats Lara like shit, threatening to freeze, drown, impale, burn, eat, or otherwise murder her at every turn.
After that, it’s just a gunfight.
Likely to appeal to the game’s twin demographics of children and, er, inner children.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe feels like a victory lap, the delightful culmination of decades of refinement.
Hope your inventory contains blood pressure medication.
What Remains of Edith Finch isn’t some Batmanny trudge through a peat-bog of dead kids and deader parents. It’s about learning and letting go respectfully, finding love and tranquility and even joy in death.
The enemies feel like monsters sculpted out of plasticine from some studio-disowned animated Roald Dahl adaptation.
Bloody Days’ constant references won’t make sense to anyone who hasn’t seen Reservoir Dogs, and fans of the film will loathe it with a seething intensity.
While it’s still one of the more outright comedies in the Telltale oeuvre, Guardians’ story is one of grief and loss and regret.
I assume the upcoming games (such as the just announced Marvel Heroes 2) will return to status quo, but hopefully this remaster proves successful enough to warrant either a sequel, or TT borrowing another series' template and applying their silly brand of humor to it. A Lego FPS, perhaps?
