VGChartz's Reviews
It was a long time coming, but NIDHOGG doesn't fail to impress, even after four years of waiting.
It's a fun and unique take on the genre that fans should definitely give a shot at to judge for themselves.
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.
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.
One Piece fans might be able to enjoy what's on offer here, but even they could struggle to get through this.
An excellent introduction to action game tropes for very young players and an enjoyable if undemanding tread for more experienced gamers.
An old school RPG with a modern twist, filled with customization options and an intuitive battle system that never gets dull.
Thief effectively retains the series' focus on stealth and compelling atmosphere, I just wish it had retained the quality.
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.
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.
New Island relies too much on what has worked before and copy-pasted it onto a blasé platformer.
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.
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.
There is no question to me that inFamous: Second Son is the best game in its franchise... unfortunately the game is held back by the same problems which have always held inFamous back.
Ether One takes some of the best parts of Gone Home and To The Moon and melds them into something highly original, making it an appealing title for those wanting a unique gaming experience that's thought-provoking and emotional.
Respawn understood that what they do best is multiplayer and focused all of their efforts to create the best multiplayer shooter they could. Instead of including a single player mode just to check off that box on a features list, they stuck to one thing and the result is spectacular.
Trials Fusion is a fun game for a first timer like myself but I can't help but think there was a near-perfect formula that has been overly tinkered with before I got here.
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.
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.
Child of Light is a fanciful game that shows what great presentation can mean to a game.
