VGChartz's Reviews
Night in the Woods succeeds in placing completely believable characters in insane situations while keeping them grounded.
Renegade is a serviceable nod to the arcade racers of yesteryear.
Apart from that small blemish, Ys Origin is a terrific console port of a solid hack 'n' slash action RPG.
This is an evolution - and decidedly not a revolution - of console strategy games, and as such won’t win over any hardcore strategy gamers. Those who enjoyed the original Halo Wars, however, will find a solid strategy game offering up plenty of fun.
Alone With You is an intellectually challenging adventure game with a compelling story, but with a lot of room to grow.
Sniper Elite 4 proves to be a fantastic tactical shooter, one that is bound to keep stealth and sniper gamers delighted for quite some time.
You'll be able to get a good hour or so of fun out of it, but don't be surprised if you quickly grow tired of its repetition thereafter.
It's neither the biggest nor the boldest survival game, and it's hamstrung somewhat by a clunky menu system, but it's still one of the more absorbing and habit-forming survival simulators out there.
Overall, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard looks backwards in order to move forwards, not just by re-focussing on horror but also in a number of other less headline-grabbing ways.
Rise & Shine is short and sweet and fun while it lasts, but it's all over far too soon.
This is a worthwhile remaster of an underappreciated SNES shooter, made better by a sharp graphical enhancement, new characters and stages, and, for the first time, four-player local co-op.
Pokémon Sun and Moon are some of the best in the series, no doubt about it. If that's all you're looking for, then I can assure you that this game does many things well and you'll enjoy your time in Alola immensely. If you were hoping for something more, though, well... at least it's still good for a Pokémon game.
Folks who already own The Dark Descent and its follow-ups on PC might not find enough cause to double dip but players new to the franchise will discover a lot of value in this compilation.
Fans who yearn for a strong, classic Castlevania experience will do well to consider Slain: Back from Hell.
Stereo Aereo really could have been an excellent indie rhythm title. It has a good core, and a unique art style, but the game's flaws outweigh everything else, unforgivably taking you out of rhythm rather than keeping you in it.
In a year defined by dozens of great gaming experiences, The Last Guardian stands tall above them all.
Killing Floor 2 isn't the prettiest or the most feature-rich shooter around. It doesn't have the polish of Overwatch or the mechanical audacity of Titanfall. Yet it's one of the more addictive shooters on the market today, one that consistently begs for "just one more match."
In the end, then, my verdict is a lukewarm as the general consensus regarding Dead Rising's other sequels.
Patience is required to overcome an initial learning curve and a cheat sheet necessary to decode its mythology, but those willing to persevere will reap a nice reward.
Overflowing with charming personalities and buoyed by a deep and rewarding combat system, Exist Archive is a nice addition to the Vita library. It's just too bad that recycled dungeons and tedious grinding show up to spoil the fun.
