VGChartz's Reviews
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS is pretty damn great.
The story-telling is getting better; the narrative slicker, the choices harsher.
The graphical staleness that is presented as an update, slight overhaul to building mode, and new sim creation system don't make up for the wholesale removal of content and features that are now expected to be mainstays of the series.
Destiny is still very fun to play, but despite its best attempts, it doesn't feel like the future we were promised.
Sacred 3 is certainly bug free, but it's also free of the core mechanics that made the previous games fun to play.
Amid the Ruins, perhaps later than anticipated for this season, finally brings The Walking Dead to the peak of its own exceptional high-standards.
It's a great accomplishment for Rebellion to have made another successful Sniper Elite game, but the occasional jarring bug and a weak story hold Sniper Elite 3 back from being a truly great sniping experience.
Unless you're a fan of the Blue Estate comic and want to see some new, original stories, it's hard to recommend this on-rails shooter for its full price.
Infinity Runner manages to be mediocre in every sense of the word.
While its adventure mode is lacking, its Coliseum mode highlights the great fun of battle that is a staple of the series.
Murdered: Soul Suspect is caught between the uneasy middle ground of a big budget release and what should have been a more economic digital-only, episodic series.
Mario Kart 8 stands tall among the kart racing genre once again and is a must-buy game for Wii U owners.
The end result is a good game that is held back by the very thing strategists come to this genre for: the freedom to use your own planning and tactics to win the game.
Perhaps age and the formulaic (for better and worse) nature of The Walking Dead means that it is becoming harder to really appreciate the nuances.
The lack of polish, along with a control scheme that feels inconsistent, makes Consursion just as irritating as it is intelligent.
Watch Dogs satisfactorily fulfills its premise but not quite its promise. It is not a game-changer by any means, but it is well-crafted, high-quality, adult entertainment.
It may start off feeling pompous and arrogant, but give it enough time and you'll start to uncover a deeply sophisticated world, supported by a brilliant story, and solid, dynamic gameplay.
Child of Light is a fanciful game that shows what great presentation can mean to a game.
If nothing else the IP represents an interesting attempt to turn a brilliant tech demo into a full game and it's certainly unlike anything I've ever played before.
There are some new issues with the camera and its unfortunate tendency to trap you in an infinite death loop while playing co-op, and the general simplicity of the game and limited innovations to the gameplay will put off some, but LEGO The Hobbit is definitely fun to play.
