More than just DLC. It's a core part of the Bloodborne experience.

6.5 / 10.0 - Need for Speed

The online requirement seems pointless, but it's an enjoyable racing game overall.

Call of Duty is the Coca Cola of the game industry. Popular, unchanging, and tastes good to most, but it's still the same stuff.

9 / 10.0 - Fallout 4
Nov 10, 2015

The same loveable Fallout formula far outweighs bugs and directionless new systems.

7.5 / 10.0 - Guitar Hero Live
Nov 4, 2015

A great evolution to the controller, but lacks the fun of the originals.

With all of this thrown in, the game still only clocks in at around 5 - 6 hours - which is short considering there is no multiplayer to back it up. It does include a number of Challenge missions, where players can revisit scenarios and take on waves of enemies to best their time and high score, but overall the game is short-lived. It is action-packed however, and combined with the amount of 80's Transformers fanfare added in, it's a decent experience for anyone who still remembers Soundwave as a retro cassette tape deck.

8.9 / 10.0 - Halo 5: Guardians
Oct 27, 2015

For fans of the franchise, I'd say it's worth your time, but it could be a tough entry point for newcomers. As for fans of Halo's multiplayer, I think there's more than enough to sink your teeth into, and at this point all I can say is that Halo 6's campaign can't come soon enough - but I'm sure Warzone will tide me over until then.

Life is Strange has been a fascinating journey, rough around the edges but with a sense of personality and charm that few games can match. That's why it's so frustrating that, even with some noteworthy high points, the ending felt ultimately unfulfilling, and a low point for an otherwise great game series.

Feels like it would benefit from a longer plot, but still fun if you overlook the repetitive nature.

Skylanders: Superchargers is an absolute blast to pick up and play, even if you've never had a single moment of experience with the franchise. The story delivers an opulent variety of different styles of gameplay and adds another solid rung to the toys-to-life genre. I never thought I'd admit it, but Superchargers is one hell of an amazing time.

A flawless conclusion to what might be Telltale's greatest work.

Different mechanics, same great Danganronpa storytelling

Overall, Dragon Quest Heroes is a game I enjoyed a lot and would recommend to anyone who likes JRPGs, especially if you're a fan of the source material. It might not be the Dragon Quest game you're expecting (let's hope this does well enough to bring Dragon Quest XI to the West), but it's certainly worth taking for a spin.
