Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are an ambitious take and while the open world and density of the Pokemon world are nailed the story feels like a background element and performance issues are constant
A short run time and a few obtuse puzzles do not damper Shadows Over Loathing's irreverent energy and rewarding RPG gameplay.
Gungrave G.O.R.E promises to shake you to your Gungrave core, but mostly ends up as a Gungrave chore. Before long I was Gungrave bored of the Gungrave lore and my trigger finger was Gungrave sore. Here's hoping they can fix things up if we see a Gungrave four.
With stunning gameplay, realistic motion controls, and an engrossing story, Iron Man VR on the Meta Quest 2 is an immersive triumph.
A masterful tale of murder and history, Pentiment's strong narrative and choices make this beautifully illustrated game one of 2022's best releases.
Evil West successfully revitalizes the third-person shooter genre with intense, satisfying combat, even if its level design isn't much to write home about.
McPixel 3 delivers a unique brand of humor that you can't find anywhere else, but it's sometimes a struggle to work past its aging mechanical structure.
Cagliostro's Secrets presents a reasonably-sized extra chunk of Steelrising that doesn't reinvent the wheel, but gets the job done.
Some clever puzzles, great visuals, and a solid story help carry Somerville through its occasional rough spots.
While the opening to Bloody Ties stumbles a bit once Aiden reaches the Carnage Hall this DLC does an amazing job not just in the challenges that it pushes upon players, but with the narrative depth surrounding Ciro and his family. Unfortunately key moments are let down by clunky combat.
Escape from Anti-Escape Island is a fun journey back to Escape Academy but it's marred by poor puzzle design and illogical solutions
Beginning as a visual spectacle, Lunistice can frequently fall into 3D platforming tedium as it fails to recognize its own potential or characters.
A Little to the Left has some really fun puzzles, but the game needed to be organized a little better.
God of War Ragnarok's immaculate attention to detail, provoking narrative, and visceral combat mark it as one of the best PlayStation exclusives.
Shadows of Rose is a fairly concise experience that doesn't stray too far from the source material. It does offer greater insight into the character of Rosemary Winters and her relationship (or lack thereof) with her father. Resident Evil fans looking for a deeper connection into her story will love the time they spend playing as her in this third-person experience.
Unique in its presentation, scope and design, SIGNALIS finds itself a seat at the table of an indie movement that's only just reached the peak.
A solid Metroidvania with nice graphics and controls, but lacks some technical refinement.
While Bayonetta 3 has a few pain points when it comes to its overall graphical presentation, PlatinumGames delivers an absolutely bombastic, high-octane, over-the-top knockout of an action game.
This unsettling adventure is one of the most engrossing horror games in recent memory, despite the restrained visuals. Subtle sound design and a small but strong soundtrack as well as creepy rotoscoped scenes up the scary factor tenfold.
Potionomics is a gorgeous game with expertly animated characters and entertaining writing. The potion-making component can be fun, but at times the looming deadline and struggle to gain money makes Potionomics a stressful experience.
