The Class Trial Danganronpa VR is a grand showcase of what VR can do for games outside of the horror/simulator genres.
There are a lot of things to enjoy about Ys Origin, but it’s held back from reaching true greatness because of its ridiculous difficulty spikes and its story that requires three playthroughs to fully take in.
Its four episodes build up such an intriguing, unsettling atmosphere, the experience is well worth it for fans of horror stories.
Loot Rascals is a bit of a frustrating package because the core concept is so damn interesting and well done, it’s just everything that surrounds it that sours the experience.
Torment: Tides of Numenera is a complex beast. Many of its parts are well-done and the core of the game is solid, many other elements are less than stellar, especially on the Xbox One.
Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is a fantastic hack-and-slash for Berserk fans, and a good one for any other action fans.
While the more daring and dedicated fans will love the remarkably deep Digivolution system and the homages to previous entries in the series, newer or more casual fans will likely be scared away by the importance of every single action they take.
Alone With You doesn’t delve as deeply into its existential themes as you might expect, and its romance elements are light, but it still provides an enjoyable experience and an interesting story about the only survivor of a sci-fi disaster.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a wildly enjoyable title that is guaranteed to scare all but the most heartless players.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the crown-gem of RPGs on the 3DS, and one of the most enjoyable JRPGs of recent memory.
Hitman is a brilliant, and welcomed addition to the series and I’m eagerly awaiting the next season.
While the gameplay can be fun in spurts, the bland visuals, overly long levels, repetitive enemies, and lack of checkpoints all make this game a Mighty Morphin’ mess.
There’s a frustratingly good idea in Tyranny, but you’ll have to push your way through an unstimulating plot and mediocre combat to find it.
In addition to its fantastic story, every corner of Yakuza 0‘s world is full of detail and extra content, adding a great deal of length to an incredibly fun game.
Rise and Shine is a very challenging platformer that relies heavily on references to other games to balance its lack of a good cast of characters.
Lara Croft go has a lot of style going for it thanks to its art design and atmospheric music. The puzzles did wear thin but the mechanics were interesting enough to leave me satisfied.
While the story and emotional aspects of The Last Guardian are outstanding, they're regularly hampered by gameplay issues.
Shiny is an obviously underdeveloped game created by an inexperienced team.
Klang is one of those unfortunate cases of a great idea that fumbles in execution.
Batman: The TellTale series is a great Batman story hindered by an outdated engine.
