CBR's Reviews
If you want the perfect game to play for Halloween, Silent Hill: Townfall is a must-buy.
Streets of Survival does add a few wrinkles to the mix, such as the gunplay and skill system, but what's in the final product quickly wears out its welcome, with an experience that has some extremely frustrating moments, and is over quickly.
Despite some big bugs, that doesn’t stop the momentum that Remedy Entertainment has built with Control Resonant.
Woodo tells a heartwarming story that feels particularly welcome right now, and its thematic approach puts it in good company with indie games such as Lil Gator Game.
The game delivers the definitive Wolverine gaming experience, combining brutal action with a genuine understanding of what makes Logan such an enduring character. For Wolverine fans, picking this one up is an easy choice, but even people who aren't into X-Men may want to give this game a go.
This world doesn’t want you to live in it, but instead, the compelling nature of it makes for another playthrough after beating the main story. It’s an outstanding victory for Rebel Wolves as it's an incredible first outing for them. The Blood of Dawnwalker is a day 1 purchase for any gamer out there.
Way of the Sword borrows just enough from that genre to feel current without losing its own identity, making it approachable even for players who normally avoid Soulslikes.
Star Wars: Zero Company is an incredible Star Wars experience. The exploration, along with some of the grittier aspects of the Clone Wars, is enjoyable. The moments that happen, which we won’t spoil, are incredible.
Those who go into Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 with an open mind about the era in which its 3D games were made can enjoy two of the best stealth games ever made, with surprisingly distinct gameplay and takes on their genre. While people who played them back in the day won't find too much new content to enjoy, Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2 is easily the definitive way to experience them.
The game brings a fresh sense of excitement to the Splatoon franchise and makes this new direction feel like a natural evolution.
Arc System Works has poured an incredible amount of passion into the project, and that enthusiasm is evident in nearly every aspect of the game. Its ambitious combat and obvious affection for Marvel come together to make Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls one of the standout games of the year.
Starsand Island is a game I am personally going to be getting lost in for the foreseeable future.
Despite its narrative shortcomings, Beast of Reincarnation is an ambitious and rewarding action RPG that deserves to be on the radar of genre fans.
Thanks to its new missions, Halo: Campaign Evolved gives longtime fans something fresh while expanding the wider Halo universe.
Overall, it is one of the best farming sims I've played since Stardew Valley, which is saying a lot because I've lost myself in several over the years. I can also say it is probably the closest experience to Stardew Valley I've ever come up against, providing gameplay similar enough to feel like a haunted extension of the same universe, but without the sprite graphics or monsters in the mines. All in all, Moonlight Peaks a great game, and I foresee myself staying lost in it for a good, long time.
Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is a strong addition to the fighting game community that deserves a massive audience.
D-topia is a game we recommend as long as gamers know what they’re getting into. It’s a gentle game that might be slow at times, but worth it in the end.
The updated visuals shouldn’t be overlooked, as Black Flag Resynced is one of the year's more stunning games. If Ubisoft wanted a win, then consider this an easy victory. Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced is a must-play for all players.
While we haven’t had much Star Fox, this entry is the best to date. Hopefully, this spawns into something rooted in this experience without remaking Star Fox 64.
As much as I love GoldenEye 007, it doesn't hold a candle to 007 First Light. IO Interactive perfectly captures the James Bond experience with cinematic flair.
