Catlateral Damage is something I feel like I should be spending a dollar, five tops, as a dumb time killer for my phone. For something that just barely has enough content to be a game it’s not only asking for too much, but gets incredibly repetitive within its first few minutes.
Although Kyn is an average title in most aspects, if you are a fan of the RTSRPG genre, dungeon crawling through this viking landscape with your customized party is a better experience than many.
Piss poor controls, an insipid plot, and a ridiculously short length makes what could have been a neat game into a retread of things I've played many times before but better.
The Masterplan is a neat game that will definitely satisfy if you've been hungry for a heist game, but technical issues stop it from being something great.
Even though we've still got half a year left to go, The Witcher 3 is one of those games that you just instantly know will be one of the best damn games of the year. Despite some minor technical issues on consoles it's still a phenomenal game and one of the best RPGs in recent years.
Everything about Broken Age should have been fantastic but the lack of puzzles and a lame plot that edges too heavy on the exposition turns this into a decent, but extremely disappointing package.
Despite a few slight issues, Shadowrun Chronicles is a fantastic strategy game to sink your time in this summer.
If you are looking for a short, reflex based battle of bosses than Titan Souls might be a right fit. But if you want something with gameplay versatility, or character progression then you better roll away now.
I Am Bread is a goofy, buggy, physics adventure that shows the determination of a piece of bread to become toast. With multiple ways to play and solve the games many puzzles, I Am Bread can easily entertain for hours. Unfortunately, clunky controls, difficulty spikes and unintentional bugs can make the experience unbearable at times.
Fans of the hunting genre or anyone looking to dip their toes in it will find a fantastic game in Toukiden: Kiwami with dozens of hours to sink into.
I have been waiting, and craving a game like Axiom Verge and it delivers in almost every way.
Despite some needless changes to Homeworld 1's mechanics, this is still a fantastic remastered collection by Gearbox that shouldn't be missed by newcomers to the series or fans who have been itching to replay the series.
Overall Dying Light is a solid game. It's got some satisfying as hell combat and running around the city never gets old, but it's unfortunately saddled with a forgettable story and uninteresting side-quests.
A modern adventure game of its own accord, Life is Strange tackles its expository episode and succeeds in developing its own persona amongst its peers.
As someone who's been burnt out on the series for the past few years I couldn't get into MW3, BO2, or Ghosts but Advanced Warfare finally got me back into the series. The jetpack is such a game changer for me I honestly want nothing to do with the next games in the series if they don't have something similar.
There's a brilliant game hidden deep inside Styx: Master of Shadows but a lack of item variety, shoddy controls, and a horrid combat system keep its potential buried deep.
Through incredibly slow improvements each Skylanders game gets better than the last and you've got to wonder how long Activision can keep this successful train going before it loses steam. Till then, Trap Team is the best Skylanders to play if you're interested in taking the plunge.
Crimes and Punishments is a great adventure game that's unfortunately plagued with iffy clues, an unrealized morality system, and puzzles that that get a bit repetitive.
Dance Central Spotlight is a great Kinect game on Xbox One with excellent body tracking and feedback. The lack of included tracks and modes makes it a lesser experience than previous titles but it's not a deal breaker. The small amount of starting songs is a bummer, but Harmonix has continuously proven its DLC support, as long as you don't mind throwing down some extra cash.
Minimum's a neat shooter with some nifty ideas but the lack of game modes and various issues prevent it from fully reaching its potential.
