Light Fall takes stunning, yet simple, artistic environments and showers them with relentless obstacles, devious traps, and your tears of frustration. The act of mustering through the stages proves to be a rewarding experience every single time. Undoubtedly, Light Fall is an adventure well worth delving into.
The Swords of Ditto proves to be an innovative and enjoyable action RPG with its eccentric weapons, health items, and characters. However, the combat grows mundane after a while. Upping the difficulty settings assists in the challenging aspect of gameplay, but only temporarily. Nevertheless, The Swords of Ditto is quirky and fun for anyone of any age.
Fans of the tabletop games will find much to love, as will turn-based strategy players. Previous players of the MechWarrior videos games will find everything gladly familiar in this edition and anyone willing to give this title a try, will find an immersive, rewarding strategy experience that offers a great insight into setting.
Metropolis: Lux Obscura combines boring gameplay with a story that genuinely feels both racist and sexist. It's not a great combination.
Wrapping up Batman: The Enemy Within on a high note, Same Stitch provides one of the most fascinating versions of Joker along with some real eye-catching fights.
While I wish it was longer than it is, Crisis on the Planet of the Apes provides some fun gunplay and neat climbing mechanics. Easily one of the best VR movie tie-ins.
Assassin's Creed Origins: The Curse of the Pharaohs provides a ton of new content for the game and does an excellent job of closing out the season pass.
The Adventure Pals is pure joy for anyone of any age. The eccentric characters bring so much light into your life, along with their comical anecdotes and witty remarks. The gameplay is very laid-back, but hack'n'slashing funky foes makes you feel like a warrior nonetheless. An entertaining escapade follows Wilton, Sparkles the giraffe, and Mr. Rock, even if the challenges aren't, well, challenging.
Extinction's core gameplay loop is alright for what it is, but it doesn't support the rickety structure built on top of it. Boring story beats, repetitive voice clips and randomized missions make me classify this campaign as obsolete.
Island Time VR barely works correctly, and it's an extremely shallow survival game that is often annoying when it does.
Updated graphics and a stellar mystery cannot save The Raven from its slow, frustrating gameplay. While not an unbearable experience, the overall package is brought down significantly by the mechanics.
Jalopy is a game with an interesting concept and good mechanics behind it. Sadly, poor design, a number of irritating bugs, and a lack of things to do beyond the game's single quest make for a disappointing experience.
Fans will love Kirby Star Allies' cameos from every corner of the franchise, and new players will find the platforming imminently approachable. While this adventure may not be as deep as some of Kirby's 3DS outings, it sure does bring the joy.
Bravo Team has a barebones story, glitchy gameplay, boring combat, brain-dead AI, terrible stealth, and more issues than I could possibly list in a single review summary box. This team needs to be retired.
Far Cry 5 combines a wonderful setting and interesting characters with extremely fun gameplay, a fantastic open world full of great side quests, and lovely presentation. It also has a powerful level editor that could make some real gems. This is a new standout for the series, as it's easily the best Far Cry has been.
It may be an improvement over the first in nearly every way, but Attack on Titan 2 fails to feel unique. Playing as your own character is nice, but this sequel ends up as a very similar package to its predecessor.
Burnout Paradise Remastered is well worth the return trip, if only as a reminder of what a real arcade racing game feels like. Still, its open world design and the slew of experimental DLC additions overload the experience and prove that cruising the city is no substitute for a good Takedown.
If you don't mind silly and over-the-top action scenes that make most people roll their eyes, A Way Out will provide some decent mindless entertainment to you and a co-op buddy for a few hours. Otherwise, this is one to avoid.
I really wanted to like Kingdom Come: Deliverance more than I did, but at the end of the day the conflicting mechanics only compound the technical and narrative flaws the further you get into the game.
A great, even exceptional, game if you want a quick pirate fix, but there's not much to do after the first couple of hours.
