A big game with a lot to offer through long-term multiplayer engagement and subsequent campaign plays; the whole thing feels rooted in legacy, but looking to the future

A rarity in gaming that is at its best when the characters are rambling on
House of Ashes doesn't always land but it can be an exciting "check your brain at the door" thriller. Its largely toothless scares will disappoint horror fanatics while inviting a broader audience
RE4VR is an absolute blast. The perspective shift from third to first-person and the ability to freely run around during combat fundamentally altered how I play one of my favorite games
Nickelodeon's characters and stages translate well into Nick Brawl with easter eggs of character-favorite moments hidden in each move. However, it's missing the accessibility and party feel of other platform fighters
This surreal, multifaceted experience has its charms; but technical and storytelling snags that hold it back
