Little Adventure on the Prairie is the worst game I have played in my entire life, and I sincerely hope no one reading this ever has to experience it first-hand.
As someone who hasn’t played the original Life is Strange, “Farewell” successfully piqued my interest in continuing to explore Chloe’s life and her relationship with Max.
Secret of Mana has a lot of good ideas that are neutered by the shocking abundance of technical issues and bugs that make this remake almost unplayable. Though the visuals and sound are fantastic, those who want to experience this classic are much better off playing the original game.
It’s a hell of an artistic achievement.
Stellaris is finally where it was meant to be. God save our free time.
Metal Gear Survive is a flawed but incredibly fun survival game that adequately takes advantage of the weirder side of the Metal Gear series. Though the game has a slow start and cliché characters, the addictive exploration and impressive amount of included content makes Survive a solid spin-off.
Past Cure is a broken and generic third-person shooter that lets its hints of originality drown in its cliché, unexplained story and its painfully glitchy gameplay.
If you’ve been hankering for a game in the vein of Kinect’s “your body is the controller” titles, Sprint Vector will be right up your alley — warts and all.
Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is a compact but pleasant action game that has a surprising amount of content for fans of the show to enjoy.
Despite an abundance of bugs and some minor quibbles, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is a fantastic game whose issues can unfortunately be made even worse from a frustratingly atrocious save system.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is a fun but confused arcade fighter. While the core gameplay is fantastic and breadth of content is commendable, the stilted story mode and unpolished AI hurt what could be a truly great game.
It might be an interesting game, if anyone played it.
Shadow of the Colossus will leave one of the most lasting impressions on any player that braves the journey to the Forbidden Lands.
Monster Energy Supercross is a buggy and not particularly fun game. Outside of its stadium design and functional controls, the game is a glitchy mess that feels somewhat unfinished.
Crossing Souls is a love letter to the 80’s with a charming cast of characters that’s unfortunately held back by weak combat mechanics.
Monster Hunter World is one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I’ve ever had. While the game is somewhat slow to start, the payoff is more than worth it thanks to the stellar multiplayer and how refreshingly accessible Monster Hunter World is for series newbies.
A surprisingly compelling roguelike about the pleasures and perils of hunting whales.
The fighting is a lot of fun if you can deal with the rest of the game.
What Ails You goes back and forth between some great moments and some very confusing narrative choices. John and Waller’s stories are approaching their climaxes in an overall satisfying way, but the amount of people who are figuring out Batman’s identity is somewhat problematic.
Exceptionally balancing its roles as a sequel and a standalone title, Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth: Hacker’s Memory is a thoroughly enjoyable RPG that mixes a fun but accessible story with wonderfully deep gameplay.
