An engaging JRPG with many new concepts, albeit a bit rough around the edges
A land distorted into something spectacular. It may have it's shortcomings, but thanks to a riveting soundtrack and a breath-taking world, it's definitely a game worth playing.
Captain Spirit is a really fun time. It manages to remind us of the developers love for effective storytelling. It's awesome. And it's free.
Insomniac has delivered an excellent game that recognizes and respects the Spider-Man lore from the comics. With an amazing combat system and the best traversal we've ever experienced in the wall crawler's foray into video games, Marvel's Spider-Man is a must-own for any die-hard fan of the character, as well as for any self-respecting PS4 owner.
Shadow of The Tomb Raider is a good game. It’s been made with a respectable budget and decent writing, with tried and tested gameplay tropes. But that’s where the praise ends. For the final instalment in a trilogy, the game does not do enough. Not nearly enough at all.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey takes the series to new heights with its RPG mechanics while simultaneously reminding us of the grim landscape of modern AAA gaming.
Kingdom Hearts 3 provides for some fun times packaged with a confusing story. If you haven't played the previous ones, it's gonna take some time to understand the context behind this one. With unfocused gameplay yet lots of charm, Kingdom Hearts 3 leaves a lot to be desired.
Sea of Solitude is a little too short for its own good. However, with the combined effect of EA's status and the creativity of Jo-Mei Games, it stands out for its breathtaking narrative regardless of its somewhat lacking gameplay.
Gears 5 has definitely rejuvenated my love for the franchise and I’m eager to see what The Coalition does next with the series.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order proves to be one of the best games in the franchise, while simultaneously proving yet again that single-player narrative games are here to stay. While it does take a lot of inspiration from many other classics, it manages to carve out a unique identity.
Dragon Ball Z Kakarot is an excellent addition to Akira Toriyama's infamous Dragon Ball franchise, While the game retells the classic story that we all know and love, I do wish we got to see some more original things in there. The game captures the feel of Dragon Ball so well that I can highly recommend it to someone who has never seen or read DBZ.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare marks a celebratory return to form for Infinity Ward and Activision, as it successfully pumps new blood into this classic franchise. While the single-player campaign could have been longer for my money's worth, I'm content with the overly stylized storytelling, over-the-top, yet realistic visuals and most of all - fun gameplay.
Doom Eternal is a worthy addition to the Doom franchise and it does take it forward with a number of well-implemented elements. You can try hard to find reasons to complain to in the game, but the game will keep you hooked up throughout the roughly-15 hours of ruthless gameplay. Whether you are a fan of the franchise or not, there is no reason why you shouldn't try out this game.
Resident Evil 3 makes yet another case for Capcom's immense talent in updating the classics to a modern standard. Everything from the characters to the visuals, the atmosphere and the addictive gameplay loop here reflect the original game's big ambitions. The story here gets some nice tweaks along with the freakishly awesome design of Nemesis, which newer players will also find rewarding.
Mind Control Delete breathes new life into the modern classic, adding a whole new dimension to the linear structure of Superhot. From challenging new types of enemies and weapons to new hacks and powerups (and more of the cryptic storytelling), Mind Control Delete adds in enough content to be well worth your time.
Neversong is a beautiful game about a very personal, and gut-wrenching story that manages to exceed expectations in the narrative department, if not in the gameplay itself. If you're fond of short adventures with a gripping plot, then this one's for you.
Marvel's Avengers is a little disappointing. There are some excellent moments in the campaign, but they get bogged down by the technical (and social) ambitions of the game.
Mafia Definitive Edition puts a nice graphical coat of paint on a dated, yet much-loved classic. However, while the story and characters are just as good if not better than the original, its gameplay mechanics fall short and performance even shorter.
Watch Dogs Legion is a fine entry in a franchise that keeps changing up its tone with each instalment. It mixes the tones from the first 2 games well enough with a serviceable story and an engaging gameplay mechanic. How much fun you want from this game will depend on how much variety the game's 'play as anyone' system offers, which in my experience has been plenty.
Assassin's Creed Valhalla is one of the best games in the series, striking the perfect balance between the franchise's newfound RPG gameplay and a focused narrative that pays respects to its predecessors in meaningful ways.
