VGChartz's Reviews
It's taken over two decades, but Creative Assembly has cracked the code for what makes a great Alien game.
Shadow of Mordor more than qualifies as being one of the most polished and entertaining games to ever bear the Tolkien namesake.
The Evil Within's biggest sin is that it just isn't particularly scary.
Hampered by the lack of licenses but aided by a sleeker, more refined edge, PES 2015 does its talking on the pitch.
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.
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.
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.
LittleBigPlanet 3 doesn't quite live up to the legacy of previous iterations due to a handful of key drawbacks.
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.
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 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.
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.
It's certainly not light on content, but it is light in variety.
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.
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.
Let down by deep flaws and an inability to convince the player that there is a huge amount of substance behind the bravado.
If Citizens of Earth were a tighter experience I think I could recommend it without reservation, lacklustre character development and all.
Majora's Mask holds up as one of the most interesting, unique, and haunting character-driven experiences in the industry.
"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.
Do yourself a favor and pick-up Evolve at some point; you won't regret it.
