Rogues Like Us is an addictive roguelike that keeps you coming back for more even after beating the main story. The different weapons, buffs and trinkets make each playthrough unique and there are plenty of items to collect for the completionists out there. It’s pleasing to look at, even more enjoyable to listen to and a bliss to play.
Stay Safe was a nice surprise. I hadn’t heard about it prior to reviewing it so it’s possibly in need of a better marketing campaign (and a more google-friendly title) but don’t let that stop you from giving it a try yourself. For a cheap asking price you’re getting a game that’ll test your mettle and which offers plenty of replay value.
Forgotton Anne has more story than many games three times the price. It's a journey worth taking and a name worth remembering.
God of War is a truly special game and one that will last in my memory for a very long time.
One of Sairento’s taglines is “VR was made for this” and I find myself agreeing with the statement. The mobility made possible here just feels so right that I expect a lot of other VR games to take notice and copy it. If you own a VR set, you should definitely have this game in your library!
Death Road to Canada is easy to recommend to gamers who enjoy various genres. Kudos to developers Rocketcat Games and Madgarden for blending action, survival, adventure, narrative and even light RPG mechanics beautifully into a single game.
If you're a baseball fan and you catch this one at a more affordable price at some point it's worth checking out.
I can't help but feel disappointed in City of Brass.
I can never get enough of this game: it looks great, plays great and I just can't help wanting to complete everything in it 100% so I'm always happy to see new content.
Overall, aside from the few negative experiences that I have with the game so far, I find that by Rare updating the issues is a good thing and aside from the few issues that I did have with the game, it is quite enjoyable from the times that I was on the open seas. Hopefully Rare will continue to update the game and add more to it as time goes on but for now, Sea of Thieves is a great game to unleash your inner pirate and set sail on the open seas!
I would suggest keeping your expectations low and your mind open when trying out Korgan.
While it shows some of its mobile roots, Manticore: Galaxy on Fire makes for a pretty fun flight combat game on the Switch.
If there's one word to describe Earthlock, it'd have to be "charming". The characters are likeable, the world is well designed and there are plenty of interesting things to do or discover.
DragoDino is a mostly solid platforming experience that was most enjoyable in short bursts, ala one level a night.
The amount of longevity one will get from Bombslinger depends on two factors: your skill level and access to local co-op players.
The Episodes start to feel shorter and shorter each time, but at least this one took us to an interesting location and gave us interesting choices to make.
The actual giant ogre-slaying gameplay is a lot of fun, but it's not enough to carry an entire game on its shoulders. Repetitive gameplay and a boring story keep the game from being any fun beyond the first few hours.
I can't recommend MX vs ATV at any cost, instead put that money towards MXGP 3 or save for the upcoming MXGPro.
While Dangun Feveron might not be stuffed with content, it does have some fun and solid shmup action in a bite-sized form.
Assassin's Creed Origins takes the series in a new direction with more RPG elements and it's better for it. The game has a huge map with an incredible density of things to do which will keep you busy for well over 100 hours. It looks amazing and especially those playing on an Xbox One X hooked up to a 4K/HDR TV will not believe their eyes at how simply gorgeous it is. The production quality here is off the charts and I can't help but look forward to where the series might be headed next. But for now? I'll gladly dive back in for a NewGame+
