Fanbyte's Reviews

Sep 5, 2019

Creature in the Well has a promising premise, but fails to build it into something as challenging (and rewarding) as it ought to be.

Link's Awakening brings us back to a simpler time, when subtler changes to the Zelda formula were much more novel. It's just as charming now as it was back then, but some rough edges and a poor dungeon maker hold it back.

8.7 / 10.0 - Neo Cab
Oct 2, 2019

Taking place mostly in your rideshare car, Neo Cab offers a fascinating premise through a small and memorable cast of city dwellers. It's not politically shy, and it has fascinating worldbuilding down to the mundane.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair dials back expectations for the better in this more focused sequel.

6.5 / 10.0 - Indivisible
Oct 7, 2019

The core elements of Indivisible, like the story and the action, are interesting, but an overall lack of polish holds it back.

6 / 10.0 - Concrete Genie
Oct 10, 2019

Concrete Genie is visually striking and offers a chill artistic experience, but its rote combat and by-the-numbers narrative greatly bring it down as the game progresses.

5 / 10.0 - Felix the Reaper
Oct 17, 2019

Felix the Reaper is an exhaustingly tedious puzzle game that attempts to set itself apart with the patina of a quirky thematic approach.

8.5 / 10.0 - The Outer Worlds
Oct 22, 2019

The Outer Worlds is a fun return to a tried and true formula. It doesn't break any molds, but it does approach its genre with a bit more nuance than we've seen in quite some time.

8.5 / 10.0 - Luigi's Mansion 3
Oct 28, 2019

Luigi's Mansion 3 has a completely solid setup for another ghost hunt. The hotel environment makes every floor stand out, the bosses and basic enemies feel like a great mix of the last two games, and Luigi himself really shines. It's a ghastly great time.

8 / 10.0 - Death Stranding
Nov 1, 2019

Death Stranding is a breathtaking experience only marred by some unnecessary combat and a story that is often more complex than it should be.

9.5 / 10.0 - Disco Elysium
Nov 12, 2019

Disco Elysium is a mercilessly deep RPG, both in terms of its well-written world and the sheer volume of decisions it tracks.

7 / 10.0 - Mosaic
Dec 5, 2019

Mosaic a gorgeous little slice of dystopian hell-life, for what that’s worth. It just… doesn’t bring anything new to the table.

8 / 10.0 - Wattam
Dec 18, 2019

At times it feels like playing around with a chemistry set. Except it can only produce fun and harmless explosions.
