As someone who got to go see an actual supercross race, the game just didn’t grab me like the real thing did, but this is a product that’s 100% not made for me. Honestly, you probably already knew whether or not you were going to love this game before you even read this review.

Resident Evil 2 is equal parts terrifying, satisfying and interesting.

Episode 2 doesn’t compare to the excitement I felt with Episode 1—mainly due to its lull in action (and suspicious amount of calmness) and feeling like I had little control over certain events as a player.

Overkill’s The Walking Dead is often faithful to the series in all the worst ways.

Travis Strikes Again is an oddity, to say the least. Sometimes, it can be a lot of fun, but at other times, it can be a repetitive drag. The characters and writing are fantastic, but the game’s tendency to flip between different gameplay styles makes its quality inconsistent.

3.5 / 5.0 - BELOW
Jan 9, 2019

It’s not cutting edge. I mean “Souls-like” is a genre of its own now, not just an interesting experiment. So we wind up with Below, which is like one of those weird evolutionary offshoots that is never quite successful.

Overall, PUBG is a fun battle royale that uses tension and planning to its advantage. This can often lead to long stretches of monotony, which will make even the most patient man squirm, but it feels worth it when you finally get towards the end of a round.

2 / 5 - Just Cause 4
Jan 8, 2019

Even ignoring the massive technical faults, Just Cause 4 just isn’t fun to play.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! hits all the right notes. And, with character customization and a competitive mode, is an excellent addition to the series.

Despite some flaws NAIRI: Tower of Shirin is an adorable game with solid point-and-click adventure mechanics and the potential for a great story, although the abrupt cliffhanger ending prevents it from being completely satisfying.

4 / 5 - GRIS
Dec 13, 2018

Gris is a relaxing, artistic experience that emphasizes its atmosphere over its gameplay. While it only lasts a few hours, fans of surreal worlds and symbolic storytelling should find it to be an enjoyable journey.

5 / 5 - DUSK
Dec 10, 2018

Dusk captures the essence of those 90s shooters you grew up playing and adds enough new to not only set itself apart, but also stand toe-to-toe with those giants.

Spying on your neighbours and rummaging through their belongings has never been as fun and stressful as it is in Beholder: Complete Edition. The game has some minor blemishes when it comes to tasks and time limits, but the Complete Edition of Beholder is still an incredibly unique and enjoyable totalitarian experience.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterclass in game design.

3 / 5 - Ride 3
Dec 4, 2018

It doesn’t do very much to stand out, but it doesn’t have any major issues either, making it a perfectly alright game.

Persona 4 Dancing All Night is a shockingly good sequel to Persona 4 and its fighting game spin-offs.

Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII delivers the same tactile experience that it always has across three enticing modes.

Though they don’t have the fleshed-out story of Persona 4: Dancing All Night, both Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are incredibly fun rhythm games with killer soundtracks.
