Some of the game modes are a dud and the single player is basically empty, but Typefighters can provide a fun multiplayer experience if you stick to the right game modes.
Homefront: The Revolution could have been something better with its weapon customization and unique environments, but it fails on the technical front.
Not even tacked-on multiplayer or a weak level editor can stop DOOM from being a total blast from start to finish.
An incredibly challenging experience tempered by engaging gameplay and a beautiful, hand-drawn world.
Shadow of the Beast does quite a few things right and I can appreciate its different battle system and lovely world. Its also still annoyingly frustrating sometimes and currently overpriced.
Part historical documentary, part video game, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday is a solid foundation for a tension-filled story grounded in the reality of a confusing time.
The Banner Saga 2 is a worthy sequel and succeeds in propelling the series to new heights.
I don't hate Kromaia Ω, but it's difficult to recommend this confusing game. Everything works, but it's hard to tell anything apart from anything else.
The Descendants' first episode has some issues, but they can mostly be ignored by fans of the adventure-lite genre that Telltale established.
Star Fox Guard is a poor attempt at making a tower defense game with a Star Fox skin. The progression is poor, levels aren't exciting and it's all around just a boring game.
Once Upon a Climb brings back the charm that episode 2 of King's Quest lacked. It's a great new addition to the reboot of this classic franchise. It's fun, it's beautiful and I highly recommend it.
While Alienation does everything it tries to do well, it fails to be as deep and rewarding an experience as it tries to present itself as.
Star Fox Zero is a great return to the Star Fox formula. But at the same time, it's way too similar to Star Fox 64. While it is fundamentally a reboot, it does bring a lot of new things to the table...just not enough. It's a good framework for a sequel.
Stardew Valley has a little bit of everything for everyone and does it all well. It's well-designed, well-polished, and encompasses everything I love about this style of game and more. A modern masterpiece in every way.
Sapienza skillfully combines the elements at what makes an enjoyable Hitman level. Its lower difficulty, while making it more accessible for those new to the series, might slightly bore weathered Veterans.
Koi is lovely to look at and listen to. It's also only an hour long, has pointless stealth mechanics, no consistency in puzzles, a nonsensical plot, and generally just feels like a totally empty game.
The Walking Dead: Michonne is an entertaining return to the post-zombie wasteland and manages to cram quite a lot of well-written story in a relatively small amount of time.
Loud on Planet X has some great bands and an interesting gameplay style, but the power-ups fall flat and the game becomes stale after a bit.
Fast and thoroughly enjoyable throwback to classic side-scrolling RPGs, but too much content is hidden behind Multiplayer.
Severed presents a grim tale of grief and vengeance that offers deceptively deep combat. This is a great example of touch controls done right and the presentation is top-notch. This is a must-own Vita title.
