Sadly, Q*bert REBOOTED is a retro revival gone wrong.
With the driving mechanics being difficult to control and the artificial intelligence being cheap it can be hard to get into. The game modes are mostly not worth checking out with the exception of battle mode and sadly the online multiplayer is broken with hardly any players and poor servers
wish I had better news, but the third episode of Batman: The Telltale series might be its worst. The story is so far off the one narrow (and interesting) path, that at this point I'm more interested to see how they right the ship than in the story itself.
Lifeless Planet: Premier Edition doesn't fix its issues on PlayStation 4, and instead adds new ones.
Rogue Troopers Redux is a well-made remaster, it offers a look back to how we use to play games and shows the way cover mechanics evolved
“With the exclusion of the X-men, the game feels like it’s missing some of the charm it once had”
Continued technical issues and a stumble in story hold episode two of Telltale's latest series from being as good as it's debut predecessor. That being said, if you're a fan of the caped crusader, there are still some interesting threads dangling that are worth seeing through to the next episode.
Dungeon Punks is a game that captures the dream of the developers, but that dream may involve finding friends to play with. Raid through some colorful yet repetitive landscapes to collect gear and level up. The characters are colorful and switching between them to use various spells to stack combos can be fun, but many of the missions can be tough. The game is cynical and has an attitude that is easy to fall in love with, and may be addicting for those who enjoy a good grind.
I love the ideas, it’s imaginative and doing something different, but I will probably give the soundtrack more attention than I do the actual game.
Episode Two of Blues and Bullets isn’t bad, but it sure is underwhelming.
Only time will tell if the story manages to cash in on its intriguing premise, but right now this is an entertaining way to spend a few hours.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a fun experience it packs in a lot of content and replayability.
NHL 18 is a great overall hockey game that improves on everything that NHL 17 brought to the rink. Certain features in franchise mode don't come together into a complete unified experience, but it's night and day improvement from last year.
Pillars of Eternity is a great addition to the RPG genre while adding its own uniqueness. With the world looking gorgeous, and the story is top notch, with a wide cast of interesting characters it's hard to imagine this game as not being a classic but the console port does come with its flaws just like the PC version.
Agents of Mayhem had a lot to live up to with a built franchise like Saints Row, but I feel the spinoff accomplishes its goal and more. The open world was a fun world to play with and the story is very charming and enjoyable. The only real flaw with the game is it can drop in frame rates and there were a few bugs that required me to restart the game but none of that was a deal breaker.
The good doesn’t stop there. The new entry into the series wouldn’t be anything without a legitimate sense of place. Luckily, the game’s soundtrack provides that, and so much more.
Madden 18 is one of the most ambitious installments that EA sports have put out with Longshot being introduced into the fold. While I think there is plenty of room to improve in Longshot, I am excited to see Devin Wade's NFL career in the second installment. If you're franchise mode fan then you will probably be a bit disappointed, but Madden Ultimate Team is well worth your time investment.
Destiny 2 feels like the game we were promised with the original Destiny and more. The story and the world are interesting and can keep players entertained for hours.
Headlander continues to demonstrate that simplicity isn’t necessarily a bad thing with its upgrade system. While most games in the genre have you picking up dozens of different powers to get to new areas, Headlander only has a few, making many areas accessible early and eliminating the need for lots of backtracking.
Technical issues aside, I really enjoyed the first episode of Batman. I think what they’re doing with both the Batman and Bruce Wayne sections of the game are engaging, and I like the new mechanics that were added for the Batman sections.
