VGChartz's Reviews

Mar 22, 2014

As a prologue to The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is disappointing. But a demo it is not, and taken on its own, there is plenty here to enjoy.

Featuring unnerving tension, unremitting cruelty and a disarming level of brutality, The Walking Dead series has become a vanguard for narrative shocks and rollicking set-pieces.

6.8 / 10.0 - Yoshi's New Island
Mar 15, 2014

New Island relies too much on what has worked before and copy-pasted it onto a blasé platformer.

7.3 / 10.0 - Strider
Mar 10, 2014

Although the game has some faults and the environments and graphics feel mundane, hacking, slashing, and overpowering foes feels great, like controlling a powerful ninja should.

Although a solidly good game, the pedigree of those behind its creation and the precedent set by previous games makes Tropical Freeze more than a little disappointing.

5.9 / 10.0 - Thief
Mar 6, 2014

Thief effectively retains the series' focus on stealth and compelling atmosphere, I just wish it had retained the quality.

8.8 / 10.0 - Bravely Default
Mar 3, 2014

An old school RPG with a modern twist, filled with customization options and an intuitive battle system that never gets dull.

An excellent introduction to action game tropes for very young players and an enjoyable if undemanding tread for more experienced gamers.

One Piece fans might be able to enjoy what's on offer here, but even they could struggle to get through this.

7.5 / 10.0 - OlliOlli
Feb 11, 2014

Unforgiving gameplay that requires you to plan out your every move, and the interesting Daily Grind challenge makes it worth the entry fee, even if the 2D design puts constraints on what types of challenges OlliOlli can present you with.

8.3 / 10.0 - Broken Age: Act 1
Jan 20, 2014

Broken Age is both a huge success and a cautionary tale for Kickstarter backers. While the game absolutely delivers on great gameplay, story, and production value rarely seen in the genre, its short length and the fact that you'll have to wait months for the second half of the game are worrying.

It's a fun and unique take on the genre that fans should definitely give a shot at to judge for themselves.

8.2 / 10.0 - Nidhogg
Jan 17, 2014

It was a long time coming, but NIDHOGG doesn't fail to impress, even after four years of waiting.

As great as the characters are, as absorbing as the choices and moral directions continue to be, the series is in danger of becoming formulaic.

6.6 / 10.0 - Tiny Brains
Dec 19, 2013

Tiny Brains is a solid puzzle game and a lot of fun with friends, but the high price, lack of puzzle variety, and short length hold it back from the PSN greats.

Sets a strong foundation from which to build on for the rest of the new hardware cycle.

8.6 / 10.0 - Tearaway
Dec 15, 2013

Tearaway isn't the best platformer ever made, but it's quite possibly the happiest one, with a bright paper craft world that brings you in and a narrative that pulls at the heart strings.

There are not many games I feel compelled to return to after reviewing them, but Lego Marvel Super Heroes is the rare exception.

Dec 1, 2013

When the story is this abysmal and the multiplayer is this stagnant, there's really no reason to buy what basically amounts to a $60 multiplayer map pack, even if it does come with fifteen maps.

Super Mario 3D World is yet another instant classic from Nintendo.
