VG247's Reviews
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.
A definitive version of a classic, though its new content leaves much to be desired.
More Fire Emblem you say? I won't argue.
Come prepared to learn and Endless Space 2 will impress, then sink its claws deep.
The Surge is a game of many triumphs, but it's also one that will cause you more frustration than any other Souls-like.
Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition has the potential to be a devious time-devourer, as I'm learning the hard way.
What Remains of Edith Finch is about being a human being. Human beings like to press buttons.
Little Nightmares isn't going to keep you awake, but it certainly has its moments.
Classic RTS with little bit of MOBA brings the Dawn of War series up to date.
Nioh is Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja taking a more measured approach to what they do best, and is a surprisingly feature-heavy and battle-focused heir to the Soulsborne method. But it ultimately stands on its own, and is a worthy addition to any Action RPG library.
