Gobs of lackluster bosses and lack of any real endgame experience drag down a whimsical world full of secrets, challenges, and fun customization
The uninteresting story has plenty of dull moments, but isn't enough to kill the thrill of trying to keep all of the characters alive, especially when played with friends
Control's intense firefights are fun, but they don't evolve much in the second half. Fortunately, its unsettling mood and explosive moments more than balance the scales
Astral Chain is fun from start to finish, and gives the player plenty to chew on in terms of side missions and post-game content
Moments of beauty and distantly spaced moments of sublime discovery are separated by hours and hours of tedium and frustration
Combat is fun on a basic level, but repetition and a lack of evolution blunt that over time. The story and setting also fail to live up to their initial promise
Excellent acting from actors like Angela Sarafyan (Westworld) and Logan Marshall-Green (The Invitation) brings depth and realism to the characters and their stories
Frustrations related to random abilities and level layout can be annoying, but the overall aesthetic is inviting. Successfully completing a run is always an exciting achievement
Stale mechanics and features can't bring down an epic experience featuring cool characters, incredible bosses, and a spectacular soundtrack
More than just a throwback to frenzied '90s shooters, Ion Fury is a fantastic game filled with creative weaponry, oodles of humor, and memorable levels.
Overworld missions keep the action moving, but the XCOM-like turn-based combat is the real star
Having even a little bit of story context for why you're solving picross puzzles is nice, but the main draw here is more picross puzzles, Color Picross puzzles, and some added control options
The football is fun – helped by gameplay improvements and the X-Factor and superstar abilities. Unfortunately, the limited nature and lack of progress in the franchise and career modes is very clear
Procedural generation does little to bolster the one-dimensional gameplay and lack of a compelling narrative
Fire Emblem: Three Houses combines fun social elements and tense strategy combat wonderfully, making it hard to put down
This side chapter provides a steady dollop of Nazi-massacring fun, especially if you have a pal along for the ride
With permadeath and razor-sharp margins for error, the title caters to RTS veterans and survivalists hungry for challenge
The bland level designs and baffling character progression hold the action back and make it somewhat of a slog
The video game adaptation of the popular show emulates the '80s aesthetic well, but the action is boring and the missions rarely push you to do more than move from point A to point B
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a fantastic sequel that expands on the original in almost every imaginable way
