Re-imagined chess with solid mechanics and an overdose of guns, guts, and grimdark. Enjoys high levels of replayability, just don't expect much in depth in story or content.
Spellweaver is a free TCG that will feel familiar to fans of Magic or Hearthstone, but brings its own surprises to the table.
A decent combat system doesn't make up for the game's many issues. Lack of content, atrocious AI, a horrible rhythm game mode, a strangely convoluted store, and a boring soundtrack.
Reagan Gorbachev is a deeply flawed game with nothing but a creative premise going for it.
Fire Emblem's gameplay is second to none, but Conquest sports a lackluster narrative and questionable dialogue that brings the whole experience down.
It's functional and just weird enough to be mostly enjoyable, but the forced surrealism wears thin quickly.
Telltale have a written a compelling start of a trilogy that manages to immerse you without tweaking the formula.
Planetbase has a handful of minor flaws, but the overall presentation is excellent despite these tiny problems. A fun game for people who like building and managing communities.
For what it lacks in a "unique" storyline, Paper Jam makes up for in spades, leaving it as the best Mario & Luigi title yet.
A genius shooter close to rivaling legends, sadly cut down by its minuscule running time.
A fun mix of a variety of different game types and a must have for any fans of Digimon. Even if you're not too into it the story is fun and the mechanics are extremely well done.
A solid followup to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2 delivers on story, action, and tension. It's nonetheless in serious need of optimization to correct glitching and framerate issues.
An almost peerless fighting game experience sadly let down by lack of core features and gameplay modes.
A beautiful and potentially fantastic horror story squandered by cheap scares presented at a breakneck pace.
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2 is a chaotic good time that takes everything that was great about the first game, gives it a fresh coat of paint, and adds in more nonsense on top.
A well made, but ultimately shallow game, Devil Daggers is a good showcase piece for indie developer Sorath, and a decent score-chaser arcade game to kill some time with.
The Following is full of potential that is hampered by a painful lack of in-depth balancing and polish. The expansion highlights its own weaknesses and fails to promote its own strengths in the transition towards a more vast sandbox.
The game isn't perfect, it has some frustrating issues and little annoyances that may be a product of localization, but overall it is a very fun experience with more strategy than previous Neptunia games, with an intriguing story and gameplay that is a bit more newcomer friendly as well.
Sometimes a game doesn't need a thousand endings, gimmicks, and symbols to tell a story that makes it all worth it.
A simple, emotional journey that is also simple to play, Unravel works at endearing you despite the mundane mechanics behind the journey.
