The Walking Dead is a franchise with such massive potential in the video game space, and Overkill's The Walking Dead shares much of that potential. Blasting through the higher difficulty levels with friends is great fun, and the initial few hours are a pleasure, but once you get into the meat of the game and its myriad of glaring issues, it quickly becomes apparent that this game is not living up to its own potential.
Wonder Wickets turns the game of golf on its head with its vibrant worlds and saccharine stylings. Gameplay can be somewhat gimmicky, but those looking for a far out take on the time-tested sport will find a lot to like here.
When the game launcher has a typo in it, you just know that you have a broken, buggy mess on your hands. Playing Freebot: Battle for FreeWeb is an experience in the worst way possible, and is without a doubt the worst title released this year.
Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session! has rock-solid drumming mechanics and a fair difficulty curve, but the amount of DLC available at launch is a little extreme. Buyer beware – this is one game that will cost completionists a pretty penny.
Shudder's score-based gameplay is both simple and complex at the same time. Though this package is somewhat barebones, its reliance on defense as well as offense help to give it an alluring quality that encourages replayability.
Goinund's endless waves of generic enemies will leave players bored rather than scared. When paired with the brain-dead AI and lack of challenge, you've got yourself a title that overstays its welcome in no time flat.
Black Bart attempt to immerse the player into its world fails miserably due to its poor storytelling, muddy graphics, and wonky engine. Its Western world is unique, but its execution leaves something to be desired.
Driftpunk Racer's small selection of tracks and poorly designed controls take away any semblance of enjoyment this game may have had. Don't be fooled by its futuristic aesthetics – this racer's a relic.
Surprising absolutely no one, Red Dead Redemption 2 is easily a game of the year contender, if not the winner. Rockstar Games knocks it out of the park once again, and we are eagerly awaiting Red Dead Online.
Soul Calibur VI is the best looking and best playing game of the series, but the number of available options and characters is lacking. Fighting game fans will still have a blast in this stage of history, but don't be surprised if it leaves you wanting more.
Whirlygig does absolutely nothing to improve the time-tested Tetris formula. Everything that makes this title unique ultimately takes away from the game, rendering it borderline unplayable.
Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition shakes up the MetroidVania space with excellent worldbuilding and the challenge to match. Though the game does not hold your hand, those willing to face the world of Hallownest will find a game with a lot of “Soul.”
Up Left Out has got an interesting proof of concept, but the spartan stylings and lack of content hurt its long term replayability. This is a simple game, one that is good for a single playthrough and nothing more.
WWE 2K19 struggles to meet expectations. It's a mid-card talent with potential, but is too set in its ways to leave any lasting impact.
Wheelchair Simulator has got a good heart, but it is simply too frustrating to play. Those looking for a touching story can find it here, but don't be surprised if you want to smash your monitor in frustration before it is over.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker is a solid, but flawed, pen-and-paper RPG in video game form. If you are a fan of isometric RPGs or Pathfinder, you will find a lot to like here.
While Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise does have a number of glaring issues, the variety and quality of side content, thrilling combat, and protagonist with an attitude that can rival Kiryu's make it a worthwhile experience.
MochiMochi's one button setup and sugary sweet presentation hides some serious challenge. Those willing to cut their teeth will enjoy a physics-based platformer that can "hang" with the greats.
Squirgle's complex nature makes for a high barrier of entry that practically eliminates any sort of mainstream appeal. As a result, it simply does not have the lasting power of other puzzlers on the market today.
Dare Course's broken physics and bad camera deserve a big red ball to the head. Traversing its obstacle courses proves to be a royal pain and is, put simply, no laughing matter.
