VG247's Reviews
The king of 3D fighters makes a triumphant return.
VR and fan service done right.
Nintendo made a fighting game with a slickness that only Nintendo can manage.
Final Fantasy 12 is an acquired taste, but it's amazing because it's different.
Nintendo doesn't do simple, straightforward sequels all that often, but this time it has.
The Switch really is the perfect console for the odd bit of retro game action.
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.
They actually did it. They nailed it. Sonic is back.
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.
Agents of Mayhem wears the right outfit but doesn't go far beyond posing in the mirror.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm is here. Who wants to talk about feelings! No major spoilers.
XCOM, you got me yet again.
Metroid 2 is a personal favourite of mine, and this remake does it justice and some.
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.
Tense stealth? Check. High stakes supernatural shizzle? Check. Terrifying enemies? Check. You're good to go, Dishonored: Death of the Outsider.
This merging of Japanese-style visual novels and Western-style adventure games is an intriguing one.
Ruiner boils down its reason for existence into two words: KILL BOSS.
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.
I can't stop thinking about this little indie sports RPG – and it deserves the attention.
Middle Earth: Shadow of War builds on almost every facet of its forerunner carefully – and the result is generally very exciting, if uninspiring.
