Recommended - Kingdom Hearts III
Jan 29, 2019

After 17 years, several games, and tons of lore that still goes over my head, Kingdom Hearts 3 ends on a high note.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is easily one of the biggest games this generation and delivers on almost everything promised. Aside from minor things like texture issues, the combat, the characters, and the world are excellent and exciting, offering hours of gameplay. Whether you've played the original Final Fantasy VII or starting out with the remake, you'll have a blast.

Aug 19, 2020

The Battletoads are back after being bunkered away for 26 years. Dlala Studios has done the impossible and made these forgotten toads relevant once again. Don't call Gamestop, Xbox Game Pass has your game ready and waiting.

Avoid - Windbound
Aug 27, 2020

Windbound offers some great ideas but never delivers on them. It's a gorgeous video game bogged down by tedious survival mechanics and the lack of freedom to explore the open sea.

Aug 30, 2020

Dontnod’s poignant story delivers what it set out to do, and through rekindling the sadness of a broken childhood, the twins discover much about themselves and also their mother.

In theory, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered should be a win for Square Enix. In execution, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles stumbles to tell a story worth revisiting.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is less a game and more of a technical marvel. Since the world is in lockdown, your next option is to explore the world through the cabin of Cessna Citation CJ4

Sep 9, 2020

Marvel's Avengers includes a compelling campaign that is mismatched with a bare bones live service which includes a boring loot system, tons of repetitive missions and glitches.

As it stands, there are some issues that linger but that's because in 2020, a lot of what made Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning shine has evolved over the years. If you're craving deep lore and fantasy, you've found your next adventure.

Sep 15, 2020

Paradise Killer is a model detective game and it is a complex title full of stimulating characters. That said, some minor issues like movement and paying to fast travel are a bummer.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a great way to celebrate the past and whether you're a new or old friend of Super Mario, this collection is a greatest hits collection of 3D Super Mario titles. Aside from missing Super Mario Galaxy 2, it's hard not to recommend this to anyone. It's a little lite on bonus features but you do get the soundtracks to each title.

The Outer Worlds: Peril on Gorgon isn’t necessarily a required play. Anyone itching for more of what Obsidian offered in The Outer Worlds will likely be pleased find enjoyment. Peril on Gorgon doesn’t overstay its welcome but it also fails to deliver any substantial updates to gameplay. To frame Peril on Gorgon as “more of the same” isn’t inherently negative. The Outer Worlds is merely expanded by the DLC’s inclusion. It sits comfortably well with the base game.

Recommended - Going Under
Sep 22, 2020

Going Under is a pleasant surprise and one that succeeds in short-bursts of game time. It’s fast-paced, rewarding, charming, and most importantly, fun to play. Each dungeon’s specific startup theme parodies a real-life business to great success and the core combat delivers a satisfying experience.

Recommended - No Straight Roads
Sep 28, 2020

No Straight Roads is unquestionably original, full of heart and voice — even if that voice is somewhat disjointed at times — and yet, it still misses the beat in some sections.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time is a brilliant sequel to the original trilogy that makes Crash a relevant gaming figure once more. You'll have a ton of fun navigating each level and unlock gems while learning from each death as you laugh along with Crash and friends. While it is more of the same mechanics, the new content is well worth seeing what made Crash so much fun years ago.

13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is Vanillaware's most exhilarating title to date that takes us through space and time. If you're looking for a game to challenge you, and sink its hooks into you, look no further.

Pikmin 3 has this charm to it that makes it hard to put down and the lengthy campaign is incredible and the design choices in play make this one of the smartest games I’ve played recently. If you need a game that wants to challenge you with excellent exploration, tons of strategy and cute creatures; go out and get yourself Pikmin 3 Deluxe!

Watch Dogs: Legion's Play as Anyone is an exciting mechanic and post-Brexit Britain is easily the best setting yet. However, Watch Dog: Legion's brilliance is hidden behind a fair amount of smog.

Recommended - DiRT 5
Nov 6, 2020

Dirt 5 is a content-rich title that fills the gap of a quality racer this fall season. It teeters the line between being an authentic rallycross game and a more casual, arcade-focused experience. However, Dirt 5 plays its role exceptionally well. Broadening its audience base will likely pay off. Plus, with the incorporation of the Playground mode, emphasis on community-driven content will likely see the game thrive as time goes on.

Recommended - Astro's Playroom
Nov 6, 2020

Yes, Astro’s Playroom is included on the console but don’t let it slip off your radar. You’re getting a brilliant platformer on day one that’s an homage to the PlayStation legacy. Throughout four stages, you’ll experience everything the DualSense offers and also a great lead-in to the generation. Since the introduction of the DualShock nearly two decades ago, the controller has marginally improved the experience. Now, I feel like we’re seeing a true revolution thanks to the Adaptive Triggers and Haptic Touch the DualSense uses to immerse players in exciting ways.
