VGChartz's Reviews
Represents a winning convergence of art, design, and narrative.
Although not without some drawbacks, The Outer Worlds is one of Obsidian's better efforts.
An interesting and in many ways strong FMV adventure title, but one somewhat let down by middling acting (at best) and a lack of attention to streamlining the gameplay for consoles as part of the porting process.
A police-themed game that feels like a crime existing on a store’s digital shelf.
Leave it to a game focused on Nikola Tesla’s boundless imagination to seldom demonstrate the same kind of inventive spirit.
William Chyr’s passion project is among my favorite first-person puzzlers for its ambitious scope, entrancing visuals, and brain-breaking conundrums.
While wielding a lightsaber is immediately gratifying on a base level, the rest of the experience is hot and cold.

An amazing portrayal of real-life zookeepers at work, with all their dedication and accomplishments on full display for all to see.
Afterparty retains Night School’s penchant for good storytelling, but clumsier game design and technical issues leave my enthusiasm—ironically enough—in limbo.

It's more than fine for a few gaming get-togethers, but with limited customization options, only a single map, and relatively simple mechanics it doesn't achieve the depth needed for repeat sessions.
The spark and creativity that made the original Gamecube title something of a cult classic is here somewhere, but it has been buried underneath an increasingly large pile of gameplay annoyances and mechanics that add options without depth.
From the cog-shaped screen transitions to the endearing melodies, Sparklite is a delightfully well-crafted rogue-lite indie game with charming 2D pixel art and meaningful progression.
In the absence of its talented stars, and weighed down by monotonous levels, tedious gameplay, simplistic AI, and outdated assets, it struggles to justify its existence, outside of a cynical attempt to capitalize on the launch of Jumanji: The Next Level in December.
Where this reboot stumbles can be plainly seen when measuring it in two distinct categories which the original so easily surmounted: its past and its competition.
A lively, sentimental, and inspirational way to experience the Olympic Games without buying that plane ticket to Tokyo.
Pixelopus’ sophomore effort makes me constantly yearn for the painting that could’ve been instead of the painting that is.
However you choose to experience these classics, you'll be glad you did, and you may even gain some insight into why they are so revered.
