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.

Jan 20, 2017

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.

3.5 / 5.0 - Lara Croft Go
Jan 10, 2017

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.

At its worst, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is mediocre, and was quite often enjoyable during my time to play, but ultimately fails to fulfill the potential of a truly original Call of Duty title.

A myriad of frustrating technical issues dampen what is otherwise the absolute best episode in TellTale’s entire Batman series.

Nov 30, 2016

Dishonored 2 doesn’t fall short when it comes to giving players a flexible experience. It’s fun and has something to say about its world and its characters.
