Killing giant monsters in games is always fun, and Extinction has created a solid foundation for a great game. It’s just that what’s here isn’t much to justify its high price tag considering how much of an afterthought the campaign is and how all the other game-modes are practically identical.
The Adventure Pals is a fun, if somewhat average, cartoon platformer that boasts decent gameplay and a healthy amount of collectibles for completionists. The gameplay can become repetitive, and the “random” humor is a bit much for my tastes, but overall Adventure Pals is a perfectly alright platformer.
The Legendary Edition of Injustice 2 is worth the buy for anyone who missed out on last year’s best fighting game. The inclusion of every DLC character, every Premiere skin, exclusive gear items, and a new level cap make this a must-buy for fans of fighting games and/or comic books.
Overall, Ash of Gods is not a bad game.
Sea of Thieves can be a complete blast to play with your friends but a lack of content, an almost disastrous launch laden with server issues and some highly questionable design decisions makes what should have been the ultimate pirate game into a complete and utter disappointment.
Moss is a mature PSVR title that strives to bring you into a miniaturized world and largely succeeds.
Yakuza 6: Song of Life is a great game that provides a fitting end for one of gaming’s most complex protagonists, Kazuma Kiryu.
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 is a fresh revamp of the iconic Namco series.
Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom is a masterpiece, and one of the best games of this generation. Revenant Kingdom improves on every aspect of its fantastic predecessor while crafting a touching and memorable experience that will be considered a classic RPG in years to come.
Way of the Passive Fist is one of the most refreshingly original games I’ve played in years. Though it has its hiccups when it comes to level design, the intense timing-based combat more than makes up for them.
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.
