Polygon's Reviews
Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is a flawed but appreciated push in a new direction
Code Name: STEAM is misguided and horrifically dull
Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is unapologetic, and unforgettable
Ori and the Blind Forest is a rare realization of fantastic design and production values in a space where I wasn't expecting to find it, displaying a spectacular level of confidence in what it is and what it does.
ScreamRide is one of 2015's first great surprises
Though it nails some of the fundamentals, The Order: 1886 has been released without answering the essential question of what it offers that other games aren't already doing better.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse shines because it's a simple game that delivers superbly on a simple concept. You're repeating many of the same actions again and again, but with each new stroke it feels more refined, more graceful.
Citizens of Earth is rooted in the past but still forward-thinking
Attila is a satisfying simulation of a world in chaos
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is far and away the best game in the series so far
Evolve offers something different, even if it doesn't always succeed

It's an enjoyable evening of gaming with a few hard decisions, but it demonstrates the hands tightening around the neck of House Forrester.
Dying Light too often loses track of what it's best at
IDARB throws a lot of goof spaghetti at the wall, and a shocking amount of it sticks. But its absurdity can, when cranked up to 11, distract from the real joy of the game — its satisfying mechanics and miles-deep strategy.
In Gat Out of Hell, the joke feels like it's on us
Resident Evil is still a classic, but it's hard for some people to go back to
An arcade sports video game for the ages, worthy of the likes of Tecmo Super Bowl, NBA Jam, Mutant League Football and Backyard Baseball. No sports video game of 2014 approached its subject with as much imagination as Super Mega Baseball. In such a rigid genre with high barriers to new ideas, this game is a legitimate breakthrough.
It's a smart game that doesn't punish you for it, a puzzle game that allows a sense of creativity. And while it isn't the most upbeat thing out there, there's a vein of hope that runs through it — and ties it all together neatly at the end.
The Dark Below is thin on content, and it fails to expand the scope of Destiny in any meaningful way.
