VGChartz's Reviews
Black Mirror needed more time to expand its mythology, flesh out its characters, beef up its puzzles, and smooth out its technical kinks.
Things improve sharply in the final few chapters, but it's a case of too little, too late.
Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 is another strong Lego game from Traveller's Tales.
School Girl/Zombie Hunter is a game that knows what it is, but what it is just isn't very good.
Despite some bland presentation, Ittle Dew 2+ succeeds as an action-adventure title in the Zelda tradition. Combat is challenging, opportunities for exploration and experimentation are many, and puzzles will make your brain melt.
Odyssey is one of Nintendo's most inventive, joyful, and audacious adventures, and one of the marquee games of 2017.
ELEX does little to break new ground in the RPG genre. Fortunately, the core aspects that make a solid RPG are done expertly by Piranha Bytes and this results in a world that is worth exploring.
The game's commitment to survival horror is mostly skin deep. Artistically and thematically, it resonates. Mechanically, not so much.
Avoid it like the plague.
Audiovisual assets notwithstanding, The Mummy Demastered is an average game.
By operating under the maxim that "bigger is better" Monolith has turned in a sequel that's technically superior but lacking the efficiency and focus of its predecessor.
Regrettably, the game's production design and player engagement are never quite as rich and expansive as its internal mythology.
Runic Games is to be lauded for taking a bold chance when the company could have simply revisited familiar grounds with another Torchlight.
It’s no sprawling epic but, much like the 1999 feature length film of South Park, The Fractured But Whole is ultimately South Park bigger, longer & uncut.
In an attempt to make The Evil Within more palatable to a mainstream audience, Tango and publisher Bethesda have muted its unique voice.
Overall, this is an admirable first attempt from Airship Syndicate, but one with a lot of unrealized potential.
Forza Motorsport 7 is a great addition to the Forza line-up, but while it does a lot right it's also gone into neutral or even reverse in a few instances.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will not vault Capcom back to the top of the fighting game mountain, but what's there proves the company still know how to compete in an increasingly crowded genre and is generally a step in the right direction.
Jettomero is undoubtedly a success overall. It's charming and original, with a great sense of style, but whether it's worth the price of entry for you will depend on just how much the concept and aesthetics personally appeal.
With an aesthetic which I hope and expect will be timeless, and a gameplay loop that's incredibly addictive and rewarding, Cuphead is justifiably the talk of the industry right now.
