HomepageCultured Vultures's Reviews
Infliction succeeds where a majority of horror games fail by providing genuine scares through its hair-raising environments and terrifying spirits that stalk the player.
Reigns: Game of Thrones may be the most faithful adaptation of the HBO show yet in that being a ruler truly sucks.
Regardless of its minimal shortcomings, Sinner: Sacrifice for Redemption is a hugely fun injection of hardcore combat, and well worth the time of those looking for something fresh.
Super Mario Party offers old school board game action with action-packed mini-games that make full use of the joy-cons' motion capabilities while delivering new party tricks for all.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey maintains the fluid and much loved gameplay providing us with the biggest open world yet, glorious graphics and the return of naval combat. However, the shameless use of microtransactions, frustrating grind and uninteresting characters make Odyssey more of a chore to play than others in the series.
Pixel Ripped: 1989 is a brilliantly fun VR throwback that's hampered by a short length and wild difficulty spikes.
Gripes with Tira notwithstanding, Soulcalibur VI exists in its own special pantheon when it comes to current generation 3D fighters. Even if you're not usually a SC fan, consider this your jumping on point.
Wandersong is a joyful and innovative game that should probably be sold as a cure for winter blues.
What Forza Horizon 4 might lack in terms of an overarching structure, it gains in amazing gameplay and a sheer amount of content.
Fingers crossed that Rebellion can continue this run of form with the next few content drops.
Pathfinder: Kingmaker is an excellent game that successfully marries the best aspects of pen and paper RPGs with great exploration and a surprisingly good kingdom management game.
The Gardens Between is a charming, engaging, and inventive puzzler with the potential to really draw you into its world of bittersweet nostalgia. While the puzzles may lack some teeth for the brain game veteran, there's plenty of fun to be had here.
Under this luchador mask lies a familiar game with a lot of the same old issues, but somehow there is even more fun to be had, with a new impressive look, a good bit of polish, and some features reminiscent of its younger self.
Tactics is almost the tactical Warhammer game of my dreams but a lack of stakes and variety makes it stumble on the finish line.
Achtung! Cthulhu Tactics is a barebones turn-based strategy title that is light on strategy or compelling reasons to slog through waves of uninspired Lovecraftian horrors.
Fire Pro Wrestling World is a refreshing alternative to the dour realism of the WWE 2K series and a game that will threaten to consume you if you can overcome its crazy learning curve.
Though it feels less developed than the more recent Yakuza offerings, Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise still provides plenty of head exploding bang for your buck.
The first episode of Life is Strange 2 already begins to tackle a lot of tough themes but is a bit empty gameplay-wise, even for a Life is Strange game. Despite this, it's a great start and leaves me with high expectations for the next episode.
Capcom came back strong with Mega Man 11. The bosses are all memorable, the platforming is tough and rewarding, and the new Double Gear System turns the classic formula into a fresh new experience.
Don't let Astro Bot Rescue Mission pass you by: it's one of the most innovative and downright fun PlayStation VR games you're ever likely to play.
