10 / 10 - Control
Aug 25, 2019

If players give it time, and accept it on its own terms, they’ll find a masterpiece of third person action, physics-based chaos, and bravura visual design lurking under this thick slab of untreated concrete. This isn’t just Remedy’s best game since Max Payne 2. It’s the best game the studio has ever made.

Kentucky Route Zero feels breathtakingly original. For something this powerful to exist in any medium would be a triumph. But for it to exist now, as an interactive narrative drawn with striking visuals, meaningful choices, and moving music, feels more like a miracle.

10 / 10 - Half-Life: Alyx
Mar 30, 2020

In those halcyon days for Valve, there was no way of knowing that Half-Life fans would have to wait more than a decade for a new entry in the hallowed franchise. But twelve years, five months, and thirteen days later, a strange thing happened: a new Half-Life game released. It’s called Half-Life: Alyx, and it’s brilliant.

God of War Ragnarok is a must-play. There are no two ways about it. It is one of the best games out there. So I hope for your sake you don’t get spoiled and enjoy the game for the first time like a lot of us reviewers did and the way the devs wanted you to experience it.

The Last of Us offers a fair amount of gameplay, puzzle-solving and space to connect with the characters.

9 / 10 - Frostpunk
May 21, 2018

Frostpunk is extremely harsh with its dramatically dismal atmosphere, but its steampunk theme is aesthetically alluring and somewhat helps alleviate that.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is an impressive superhero tale that showcases a brilliant art in a right and courteous way. Insomniac Games has set a bar, so high, for superhero games, that has set a challenge for developers to get creative and craft their own tales that stand out from the rest.

The core of the game certainly does have that classic feeling: uncompromised, ambitious, unique, and bursting at the seams with creativity.

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is as brutal, punishing, and satisfying as any game FromSoftware has ever made.

9 / 10 - GRIS
Dec 23, 2018

GRIS is a magnificent game which highlights the positive and negative sides of the human thinking process. It deals with depressive thoughts and miseries which shackle people and refrain them from carrying on with life.

9 / 10 - Devotion
Feb 24, 2019

Devotion is at its worst in the moments when it relies on cheap jump-scares and horror tropes, and at its best when it prods the depths of protagonist Feng Yu’s psyche, as it does to devastating effect in its grisly climax and conclusion.

The different scenarios and the online multiplayer functionality offer more than enough variety and challenge to keep even the most seasoned Age of Wonders players in the game for a while.

9 / 10 - Madden NFL 20
Aug 9, 2019

Madden NFL 20 is the most beautiful, exciting and simply the best part of the series I have ever played. No revolution, but a very good evolution with many small improvements that will be great fun for football fans.

Death Stranding is a distorted vision of the open-world genre, pulled apart by its individual threads, deconstructed, and sewn back together in the image of its director, Hideo Kojima. It’s an astonishing, compelling and provocative experience, even if it isn’t always as exciting to play as it is to think about.

Sprawling, unrelenting, but always fascinating, The Last of Us Part II is a disturbingly effective fable.

Crusader Kings III remains as inscrutable as its ancestor. But it is a whole new brand of fun, folly, and misery.

After playing through Little Nightmares II, I was left scratching my head. It is creepy, bizarre, and utterly brilliant.

Apr 1, 2021

It Takes Two’s blistering pace, tight controls, and addictive platforming blend together into one of the most delightful co-op games in years.
