Soldiers of the Universe is simply an unfinished game. With inconsistent graphics, terrible AI, and plenty of bugs, it should have stayed in Early Access longer than two months. There are many other games out there that you and your wallet will be happy with.
Serial Cleaner succeeds in bringing a strong presentation and 70's style to the stealth/action genre. The gameplay mechanics are surprisingly deep even with hit-or-miss AI presentation. And, although simple, the art style is great. I never knew obstructing justice could be so much fun.
Super Lucky’s Tale might not reach the heights of Super Mario Odyssey, but it is still a wonderful experience. With Microsoft lacking exclusives, Super Lucky’s Tale is a good place to begin a new era of Xbox-only games.
Although Post Human W.A.R feels small and incomplete, what we were given is good and worth spending the time and money.
Despite the high price, Pokken shines with its various Pokemon to choose from and numerous moves to master.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon offer a fresh journey through the wonderful region of Alola, though it may be too soon for some players to fully appreciate the revisit.
Nine Parchments may not be Hogwarts, but it is certainly a fun time. With up to four players, local co-op, and an army of spell variations you can enjoy yourself for hours. If you like Diablo, jump in for a few hours and before you know it, you’ll be spellbound!
If you like choose-your-own-adventure style books and like to explore all the options, then VA-11 HALL-A is a perfect choice. You will be hard pressed to find a better narrative-driven form of entertainment this year.
Season 2 of Batman: The Enemy Within is off to a much stronger start than season 1, and with the twists, turns, and startling revelations that capped off last season's finale, I cannot wait to see where Telltale takes this series next. Episode 2 turns the dial up to 11 as we see Bruce at his most ruthless as he is forced to infiltrate and take down Gotham's most notorious group of criminals from among their own ranks.
Cat Quest was a charming and satisfying lite-RPG adventure with a cute cast of characters and visually pleasing world to explore.
Genetic Disaster is a welcome, engaging newcomer to the gaming scene that is worthy of being a part of your gaming library. The adaptability of the game makes it perfect for everything from a relaxing gaming session by yourself to a family game night.
Black Mirror is serviceable with fun gameplay elements and an engaging mystery at the center of it all, but the exploration and animation keeps this game from being great.
Stick It to The Man! has a unique presentation that takes players back to the old school days of Nickelodeon. Such an art style needs a unique world with wacky characters and well written dialogue, and we get all of that during Ray's unfortunate adventure.
Since Radial-G Racing Revolved is one of the few futuristic PSVR racers on the market, it may be worth a cursory glance. Unfortunately, I can see it becoming obsolete once a juggernaut like Wipeout VR comes into the fray.
Heroes of the Monkey Tavern is a worthy addition to the dungeon crawling genre, although it is undoubtedly retro to a fault. While the simple graphics and generic enemy designs are disappointing, the actual dungeon crawling is effective in its purpose, and can be enjoyable if you come in expecting it to be nothing more than what it is.
Road Rage is a game to play only if you care about getting more trophies or gamerscore. It is buggy, and absolutely not worth your time otherwise.
Wolfenstein's follow up is a wild ride through alternate history with a healthy dose of gore and absurdity. It has some of the strongest character development and storytelling of any first person shooter in history and, though the gameplay can prove difficult, the feel of combat is fantastic. When you mix in a great soundtrack, top notch visual design, and excellent voice work, you're in for a treat.
Oure embraces the freeform nature of the adventure genre with wondrous exploration through the clouds as a dragon. While taking down the colossi can become frustrating due to the controls, Oure still has the wings to stand up to Journey and ABZU admirably.
Even if the motion controls are annoying and the bosses and story are uninspired, the gameplay and environments make you forget any complaints you would have. You will have a great time exploring the Mushroom Kingdom like you did in previous Mario titles.
Tiny Barbarian DX is a solid retro action-platformer with a gorgeous pixel based art style and great music. While the simple control scheme and repetitive nature of the title won't blow your mind, there is enough enjoyment and fun to be had while playing in spurts.
