TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan is a repetitive hack n' slash that forces the player time and again into encounters with samey enemies against a paltry selection of passionless backdrops. It's really only saved by the bosses, but the amount of filler you'll need to sift through to fight them just keeps a'coming.
Total War: Warhammer is a polished entry that breaks away from traditional history with some good novelty value attached to its new setting, though excessive streamlining of the campaign and reduced battle scenarios notably detract from the experience.
Strangely compelling in spite of its shortcomings, Shadwen is an unusual stealth game with a head full of ideas that never quite get the support they need to bear fruit. Worth a try.
The Walking Dead: Michonne should satisfy most fans looking for another excuse to visit The Walking Dead universe, however briefly.
Battleborn is a solid competitive multiplayer title, effectively blending the MOBA genre with the first person shooter. Unfortunately, the devotion to be an e-sports future leaves it wanting in places.
Nostalgia is prominent throughout Doom's intense and repeating action encounters against glorious and tormenting foes.
Shadow of the Beast is pretty to look at, but poor level design and lack of reward leaves the player frustrated and disappointed. It's evidently bursting to share nostalgia with the world, but that fondness ultimately thwarts the game's potential as a current-gen brawler.
Koi tries to be a relaxing exploration experience, but it doesn't look or play good enough for the high asking price.
A lovingly-crafted tribute to old-school survival horror that sadly doesn't bear resemblance to the classics so much as the obscure bootleg that your uncle brought back from his trip to Japan. The authenticity isn't worth the lousy design.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End wraps up one of the most memorable action adventure franchises in gaming. The quality has fluctuated a bit, but this final chapter safely brings the series to a satisfying and technically impressive finish.
In an effort to homage the kart-racing classics of the 32-bit era, Coffin Dodgers merely layers unattractive visuals atop an antiquated control scheme and generic world design. If you're yearning to relive your childhood through the goofs of a solid kart-racer, you're better off consulting Mario Kart.
Alienation feels like a series of half-measures that never come together, destined to be little more than a mediocre arcade shooter.
While Xenoblade Chronicles X doesn't quite hit must-buy territory, for those who appreciate RPGs, particularly with a focus on action and an open-world brimming with tons of content, should give this Wii U exclusive a chance.
Grim Dawn is a satisfying, complex and clever hack-and-slash adventure that provides great value.
Dark Souls 3 represents a culmination of the best ideas in the series, resulting in a familiar but highly entertaining experience despite a handful of frustrating moments.
The Banner Saga 2 continues the tale in splendid fashion. It's dark, beautiful, and impressively written.
Despite a promising heavy metal vibe, Slain! is a mess of errors that I fear will not be adequately addressed no matter how many patches are thrown at it.
The Collider 2 is a decently well designed, appropriately priced arcade sequel for speed junkies.
Republique is a unique mobile experience that feels a bit antiquated on PS4, including a less satisfying control scheme and an unimpressive visual aesthetic.
Not every change is perfect, but MLB The Show 16 is the first entry in a long time that sees the series take an impressive step forward. If you've been off the field for a while, now is a great time to step up to the plate.
