Expansive's Reviews
Ubisoft Shanghai’s efforts are enjoyable enough, but one just hopes that the bar of quality is raised even higher for Dead Living Zombies and Lost on Mars.
Prey: Mooncrash is easily one of the best pieces of content for any game this generation and if you’ve somehow not played Prey yet, there has never been a better time to start.
Vampyr offers a rich playground full of fascinating possibilities.
Minit pays homage to the blooming speed-running culture by testing speed and skill while also offering a traditional, yet engrossing adventure, concocted of experimentation and discovery
The Hidden Ones might just be the most important piece of Assassin’s Creed DLC to date.
South Park The Fractured But Whole From Dusk Til Casa Bonita is a great example of how DLC can add to a great game, and in some cases, enhance it.
European Assault is an absolutely fine piece of DLC if your expectations are more of the same, but EXOR Studios probably could and should have aspired for more.
Slayaway Camp is a great, grisly and gory little puzzler that has found the perfect home on Switch
Scribblenauts Showdown is predictably, a cute little multiplayer title, but sadly not a very good singleplayer one.
Pure Farming 2018 from Ice Flames is a fantastic starting point for a new franchise. Farming Simulator has some serious, real competition now.
Octahedron has a brutal difficulty curve but is also incredibly rewarding if you give it the time it needs
Kirby Star Allies is not Nintendo or HAL Laboratory at their best, but it is still a fantastic platformer that gets way more right than it gets wrong.
Without question, Yakuza 6 is one of the most enviable platform exclusive titles ever made because it just has everything you could ever wish for and more. A perfect send off for one of the greatest video game characters and gaming series of all time.
Burnout Paradise Remastered still has lessons to teach the young lions of today and remains so much fun!
Q.U.B.E 2 is a massive statement of intent from Toxic Games with its energy, enthusiasm and overall excellence. They’re in nobodies shadow, now. They’re the ones casting it.
The Council is the next evolution of episodic storytelling and you will struggle to look at its competitors the same way after it.
The truth is Fear Effect Sedna is not a good game. It’s more frustrating than it is satisfying and it will test the best resolve in the world if you are determined to see it through to the end. In this case, sadly, patches and fixes can only paper the cracks of what is an inherently flawed sequel.
We'll just say that Battlezone Combat Commander is a remaster that gives with one hand and takes away with another, which makes it very difficult to completely fall in love with. But it’s not for everyone and that’s ok. This game deserves its second chance and it’s been made for those who’ve stuck with it since the beginning. This is their reward for years of patience and perseverance. In Battlezone Combat Commander they are going to find exactly what they’re looking for and it will have been well worth the wait.
Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is one of the bravest, most unique independent experiences out there
Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus is, by far, the best handheld Pac-Man experience ever designed, but it’s also one of the finest, most fun multiplayer experiences you can find on any market.
