GameRant's Reviews
The original game remains untouched and is still as challenging and addicting as ever, but consumers looking for something new won't find it here. The game's throwback sound and graphics look fantastic on the PS4 and the Xbox One, but obviously a game built around the 8-bit aesthetic doesn't benefit from a current-gen remake the way something like The Last of Us or Grand Theft Auto 5 is able to.
A witch's curse, charming graphics, and chaotic gameplay save this fast-paced but repetitive dungeon crawler 'The Weaponographist' from mediocrity. Just don't call it a roguelike.
Though some adventure game tropes serve as an irritant in this game, the gorgeous artwork and dark story of Tormentum – Dark Sorrow more than make up for it.
'Underground' manages to overcome its niche edutainment roots with a taxing and unique puzzler, in spite of fairly clunky controls and a difficult camera.
Do you like stories? Play 'Broken Age.' Do you like solid humor, beautiful graphics, interesting characters, or old school adventure games? Play 'Broken Age.'
We take a look at 'State of Decay: Year-One Survival Edition' on Xbox One, a ported Xbox 360 title that throws players into an unforgiving zombie apocalypse.
'Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China' features a unique art style and fun level design, but the stealth-focused gameplay starts to wear thin after a while.
'Tipping Stars', Nintendo's latest installment in the 'Mario vs. Donkey Kong' series, offers up tons of content and compelling central mechanic, but struggles to justify its price point.
'Crypt of the NecroDancer' more than lives up to its early access promise, providing players with an excellent hybrid of dungeon crawling and rhythm-based gameplay.

'Titan Souls' offers an enjoyable torture as players take a series of incredibly difficult Titan boss fights with limited mechanics and only a single arrow.
A blend of horror, humor, and deep-sea exploration, Sunless Sea surpasses a few shortcomings to deliver an engaging, inventive, and challenging indie experience.
'Convoy' may stick a little too closely to the roguelikes it aims to emulate, but it is nonetheless an enthralling and addictive indie title with plenty of challenge.
'Mortal Kombat X' offers fans a diverse roster and tons of variety, but it's the game's ever-changing gameplay modes that are sure to keep players coming back.
Life Is Strange remains an excellent game for those who like choice and consequence games, though the gameplay in the second episode is a little lackluster. As seemingly small choices you made in Episode One come back to haunt you—such as the decision to erase something on a white board or little comments you might make—you get the sense that your choices really matter in a way they don't in many other games that include choices. This is Max's life, and though she may rewind and change it, the choices she makes will still impact the way the story goes.
'I Am Bread' packs a surprising amount of entertainment, and those who find themselves curious about the game won't be disappointed with its value if they take the plunge.
For players just getting started with hunting games, Toukiden Kiwami delivers hours of monster-bashing fun, but it won't unseat the reigning king of the genre any time soon.
'Resident Evil: Revelations 2' manages to make for an entertaining stopgap between core 'Resident Evil' entries by offering a fun-filled co-op, but lackluster graphics.
'Tower of Guns's randomized levels and enemies offers players a frenzied challenge, but ultimately fails to keep players engaged for longer than a few minutes at a time
With its stunning graphics and pitch-perfect gameplay, 'MLB 15: The Show' is one of the best baseball games ever made. Unfortunately, that doesn't make it better than last year's edition.
