This all sounds good, right? Sadly, I couldn’t find anyone on to play a game. My attempts to find a match always resulted in the no games available screen. I was given a chance to create my own lobby for players to join, but after not being able to find a match after several attempts with each game mode, I felt creating my own lobby would have just been a waste of time.
Add in a terrific soundtrack by Command & Conquer composer Frank Klepacki, and that’s 8-Bit Armies – it’s a small, tightly-designed RTS geared toward genre newcomers that doesn’t offer much in the way of gimmicky flash or weird new asymmetric factions, but counters with an easy-to-use design with just enough moving pieces to make it a great first step for players who are RTS-curious but intimidated by the likes of StarCraft 2 or Total War.
If this game was a house, it would have the same charm and flaws as a fixer-upper.
If you enjoyed the past Civilization games or happen to be a fan of strategy games, then you can’t go wrong with Offworld Trading Company. This is fast-paced, cutthroat, capitalism distilled into a video game, and one that will keep you entertained for a long time to come.
The game is a tribute to its source material and one that will test even the most exceptional admirals out there but that’s when Armada is at its best.
Ratchet & Clank for the PS4 is a great reboot that's worthy of your time.
If you find yourself loving fast paced action RPG titles and enjoy an immersive story that forces players into making touch calls then Stores: Path of Destinies is a must-play.
Lacking any of the things that made HuniePop good, HunieCam Studio is a mess.
With all that said, Leap of Fate was still a pleasant and an addicting game. I found myself going back throughout the day to kill a bit of time and to unlock a new character or attempt to pick up a new character attribute. This video game is definitely worth the $15.99 it’s currently marked at on Steam and one I recommend despite the downsides highlighted in my review.
Enter the Gungeon is the game that keeps on giving.
While Oxide wasn’t involved in the making of Supreme Commander or its predecessor Total Annihilation, it’s clear that that’s what they’re aiming for and if you want thousands of units on a sweeping board, Ashes of the Singularity will serve you well.
Judged on the merits of its quality and content alone, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is a bad game.
Despite my reservations, I can't wait to jump back into Black Desert Online. Its tight combat, numerous tradecrafts, and extensive setting have left me hooked. If you're craving something new over the well-traveled roads of many other MMOs, you owe it to yourself to give Black Desert a deeper look. But if dungeons, raids, and the treadmill of increasingly impressive loot are what you're looking for, then you'll have to look elsewhere.
Super Galaxy Squadron EX succeeds most where it holds back. While in a couple places it holds back too much, namely in the short Arcade campaign and lack of the second Endless mode, I’m resistant to booting up the game again for another bout with the Tau-Ceti aliens on a higher, more punishing difficulty.
The Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival Edition is likely not a go to action role-playing video game for most gamers. At times, its complex and the story is not the most gripping tale that keeps us playing hours on end.
I can remember more than one occasion when I literally yelled out loud after I threw my gun into an opponent's face, grabbed his rifle out of midair and shot him with it. It's a game that doesn't need excessive achievements, unlocks, or leveling up, because playing the game well is so much more rewarding than any creeping XP bar could ever be.
[W]hile I loved the atmosphere, the setting, and the aesthetic of The Flame in the Flood, I never got that "one more run" feeling I've gotten from other roguelites like Isaac or Spelunky. It's possible that the game's pace is a bit off, or that I haven't quite figured out the "correct" way to play it.
We Are the Dwarves paints a beautiful world and a challenging one, but one worth delving into regardless of dangers that await you.
Cobalt could definitely use a bit more documentation or a more fleshed-out tutorial to explain the many systems it throws at you from the outset, and the gameplay never feels as tight as, say, Super Meat Boy, but it's full of its own weird, clunky charm and certainly has a high skill ceiling for those interested in mastering it. Imagine R2-D2 in Mark of the Ninja – that's Cobalt.
If you're looking for a lightweight game puzzler then Hitman GO: Definitive Edition is well worth checking out. The gameplay is overall enjoyable and quick, but if you're looking for the next big installment within the popular Hitman franchise, it's probably best to move on and wait for the upcoming Hitman release later this year.
