VGChartz's Reviews
It's certainly worth playing - if only for the epic sense of journey that comes from crossing multiple procedurally environments - but the gameplay is sorely lacking.
Perhaps brush up on Dynasty Warriors 8 first, and if you like what it has to offer, then Empires might be for you.
With The Order: 1886, Ready at Dawn has created a compelling world, and one I'd be happy to return to if there ever were a sequel, but failed to populate it with an interesting story or engaging gameplay.
Even with a forgettable plot and tacked-on versus multiplayer mode, Dying Light is still a solid open world experience that will satisfy any zombie enthusiast for well over 20 hours.
Do yourself a favor and pick-up Evolve at some point; you won't regret it.
"Remastered" is an apt term to apply to Grim Fandango, as it is indeed a retouching of a masterpiece. Whether you're a returning fan, or entering the Land of the Dead for the first time, Grim Fandango is an absolute must play for fans of interactive storytelling.
Majora's Mask holds up as one of the most interesting, unique, and haunting character-driven experiences in the industry.
If Citizens of Earth were a tighter experience I think I could recommend it without reservation, lacklustre character development and all.
Let down by deep flaws and an inability to convince the player that there is a huge amount of substance behind the bravado.
With its unique story, impressive attention to detail, and cleverly implemented time-rewinding mechanic, Life is Strange is shaping up to be a great series.
It's not the most accomplished visual novel out there, but it most definitely is one of the best ones to make it to the West.
It's certainly not light on content, but it is light in variety.
Game of Thrones has a lot of potential judging by this first effort, but needs a lot more polish before it really hits new heights.
Whilst it certainly won't be to everyone's tastes, The Old City: Leviathan is easily one of the most thoughtful games I have ever experienced.
Whilst the online features leave something to be desired, and the lack of complete games is a huge misstep, Ultimate NES Remix nonetheless offers up a fantastically addictive experience.
Whilst I enjoyed exploring the gorgeously hand-crafted world, I couldn't help but feel that the gameplay just wasn't up to snuff at times and should have been better in a number of areas.
LittleBigPlanet 3 doesn't quite live up to the legacy of previous iterations due to a handful of key drawbacks.
It offers a perfectly executed story, underpinned by fantastic background research, and just happens to use the interactivity of gaming to push its narrative of the Iñupait community to a wider audience.
New items, enemies, music tracks, and stages all combine to ensure that Rebirth offers enough additional content to demand the attention of anyone that enjoyed The Binding of Isaac the first time around.
Even if offered on its own, Bayonetta 2 could be easily considered the best action of the year, as well as one of the best games of the year period. When grouped with the first game, the whole package is almost too good to be true.
