VG247's Reviews
Look, here's the thing: Dragon's Dogma is one of the best games of the last generation. Now you've got a new chance to play it, because not enough people did.
Ruiner boils down its reason for existence into two words: KILL BOSS.
This merging of Japanese-style visual novels and Western-style adventure games is an intriguing one.
Tense stealth? Check. High stakes supernatural shizzle? Check. Terrifying enemies? Check. You're good to go, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is more or less everything I'd hoped for as a fighting game nerd, but more casual players might find themselves wanting more.
Metroid 2 is a personal favourite of mine, and this remake does it justice and some.
XCOM, you got me yet again.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm is here. Who wants to talk about feelings! No major spoilers.
Agents of Mayhem wears the right outfit but doesn't go far beyond posing in the mirror.
Madden 18 shines where it matters most: On the field. The transition to Frostbite is seamless, and the balance of the running, the pass rush, and coverage feels better than ever. By comparison, Longshot is a little rougher, but it's an interesting and ambitious first attempt. Between Longshot, the Frostbite transition, the more balanced gameplay, and MUT Squads, there's a lot to like about Madden 18. In a four year march that has seen steady progress with each iteration, this is the best upgrade yet.
They actually did it. They nailed it. Sonic is back.
For the majority of its run time, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice felt like something much more meaningful than a generic action video game. It felt like a work with something to say, and it made me want to listen, even when what I heard frightened me so badly I could barely press on.
The Switch really is the perfect console for the odd bit of retro game action.
Nintendo doesn't do simple, straightforward sequels all that often, but this time it has.
Final Fantasy 12 is an acquired taste, but it's amazing because it's different.
Nintendo made a fighting game with a slickness that only Nintendo can manage.
VR and fan service done right.
The king of 3D fighters makes a triumphant return.
Dreamfall Chapters is the end of a story, but it's worthwhile getting on board at the last station of this long journey.
Rime's gentle puzzles and gorgeous vistas ease you in before it opens its heart.
