New Game Network's Reviews

58 / 100 - Need for Speed
Nov 7, 2015

Despite a few redeeming qualities, Need for Speed is a lackluster reboot that fails to reinvent the franchise, or live up to the name of the original game.

Warhammer: The End Times - Vermintide shows that Left 4 Dead with an emphasis on melee and loot makes for a pretty fun co-op experience, though it would be even better without the glitches and performance dips.

79 / 100 - INK
Nov 1, 2015

In many ways, INK feels like an exploration game with an artistic side focus. By limiting the player's sense of sight, the game creates an enjoyable and unique platforming experience.

Batman: Arkham Knight expands brilliantly on its predecessors with a massive city and a Batmobile that serves many roles.

78 / 100 - Guitar Hero Live
Oct 29, 2015

Guitar Hero Live ushers in a new era for the music game genre. It's bold, innovative, but it won't be a hit with everyone.

Halo 5: Guardians marks a strong debut on Xbox One for the long running franchise, with great gameplay and solid multiplayer and in spite of a weak campaign.

Life is Strange is an endearing adventure title where time folds naturally around two good friends trying to uncover a dark mystery.

Tales from the Borderlands has got it where it counts and delivers a series that is more than worthy of the franchise name. It's a Telltale game that's a winner for all, not just fans of the best-selling shooter.

Rather than following in the footsteps of AC Unity, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is an unambitious entry that mostly shuffles in place. There's still fun to be had here, but this sophomore next-gen effort doesn't excel.

66 / 100 - Sublevel Zero
Oct 20, 2015

Sublevel Zero breathes new life into the 6DOF genre, but does it with the unfortunate side-effect of crippling insubstantiality. Good for a taste of claustrophobic zero-gravity combat, but without the depth or breadth to follow through.

80 / 100 - Armello
Oct 16, 2015

The question of whether you should buy and play Armello comes down to whether you would enjoy its format as a turn-based four-player board game. If that description doesn't immediately make you grimace, then this is the best entry in its genre to arrive for the past five years.

Transformers Devastation is not quite Platinum's A-game material, but it's more than we could've ever possibly expected from a franchise tie-in. A tad anemic and weighed down with extraneous systems, but a damn fine experience nonetheless.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain offers an excellent gameplay and presentation package, and if not for a few weakness, it could have been one of the all-time bests. Instead, it's just really, really good.

Super Mario Maker provides endless fun, heavy doses of nostalgia, and a superb level creator that makes it easy to play the role of amateur game designer. A must have for any Wii U owner who is even mildly interested in Mario games and/or likes to create.

78 / 100 - NBA 2K16
Oct 11, 2015

NBA 2K16 is another solid entry in a series that is really starting to establish itself as one of the best in sports. It might have its drawbacks and fall short of certain expectations, but the core of NBA 2K continues to be strong.

82 / 100 - Stasis

STASIS is a smart, compelling, and legitimately scary experience

64 / 100 - NBA Live 16
Oct 5, 2015

NBA Live 16 continues to improve the franchise, but given the poor starting point a few years ago, that's not saying much.

67 / 100 - Blood Bowl II
Oct 2, 2015

The core of Blood Bowl 2 is great. It's a wonderful realization of a fun board game, brought to life with a competent design. Unfortunately, beyond the one-off matches, the title is catered to a very specific kind of fan.

PES 2016 offers some notable improvements, especially for series veterans, but a lack of polish in certain areas keep the game from reaching higher ground.

No Time to Explain is a nice blend of teeth-grinding frustration and nutty humor that platforming fans should enjoy.
