The Game is a Lie's Reviews

5.5 / 10.0 - Broforce
Sep 4, 2018

Broforce is a very well-made action comedy game at first, besides being a great homage to the classic movie heroes. It's so long and repetitive, though, that the player's happiness slowly fades away, leaving behind an expression of frustration and weariness.

7 / 10.0 - 20XX
Aug 31, 2018

20XX is a great game if you are a fan of the old Capcom classics. It doesn't quite get to their level of quality, but it mixes an awesome gameplay with a lot of nostalgia to create a good experience, if sometimes boring.

10 / 10.0 - Into The Breach
Aug 27, 2018

Much more than a turn-based strategy game, than a sci-fi game or than just any other indie game, Into the Breach is a masterpiece. Challenging without being unfair, complex without being overwhelming and familiar without being cliché, it's perfectly balanced to provide a unique experience.

6 / 10.0 - Clustertruck
Jul 13, 2018

Clustertruck starts well and promising, but the level of fun starts to drop as the stages go by, reaching a point where it becomes more irritating than fun. The premise, however, is interesting, and it's possible to get a better enjoyment of the game playing it in small sessions.

Assassin’s Creed Origins is one of the best Ubisoft games of all time, if not the best. It's able to harmonize a big story with an innovative gameplay.

L.A. Noire is a unique game that offers an innovative technology, therefore being a must for any gamer. Its mission variety is really good, but some bugs are annoying in the open world.

9.5 / 10.0 - Stardew Valley
Dec 10, 2017

Stardew Valley is an extremely relaxing and fun game. The variety of activities to perform keeps the player glued to the screen and turns this into one of the most addictive games of the last years. It deserves to be played by anyone with access to it.

DOOM is one of the best shooters of all time, proving that with the convincing atmosphere it creates, as impressive as the one created by the first games in the series. It's a game that every gamer should try.

Need for Speed Payback just reuses its predecessors' formula. Despite having a very weak storyline, it kept me entertained for a few hours with its varied tests and missions.

Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back is an unfortunate attempt at reviving a franchise that should have stayed dead. Every single aspect of the game is repetitive and tasteless, what leads me to believe that this game was made from corporate thinking.

The new sequel fulfils beautifully its role and is one of the greatest First-Person Shooters of the decade. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus offers a unique experience - even if it uses older assets - and deserves to be played by any fan of the genre.

Super Mario Odyssey is not just the pinnacle of the Super Mario franchise, but the pinnacle of 3D platformers in general. Great in its gameplay, design, and soundtrack, it's essential to any player.

8.5 / 10.0 - Cuphead
Oct 8, 2017

Cuphead has an impressive art style and is challenging in the right way, offering satisfactory rewards after each stage. In spite of some unfortunate issues, it's still very much recommended, especially considering its current price.

8 / 10.0 - Arms
Sep 19, 2017

ARMS is a game that, despite looking simple, can get deeper as the player continues to play. With its well-executed technical and artistic aspects and a surprisingly responsive motion controls system, it's an essential game for any Switch-owner.
