The Caligula Effect has a turn-based battle system that is refreshingly fun.
The beautiful, hand-crafted game worlds are a single error away from being awash with your blood.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III is an enjoyable, challenging and rewarding RTS experience. Not everyone will be enamoured with its MOBA-flavoured gameplay, but there is no denying it makes for some frenetic and action-packed battle goodness much of the time.
________________________ “It's a simple premise that's executed using straightforward mechanics.
The various modes in the arcade truly flesh out the game allowing players to enjoy Tetris, Puyo Puyo, or both at the same time in an enjoyable and well thought-out manner.
There is a fantastic game buried in there somewhere and one good patch and a price drop are all it needs to be worthwhile.
It's not so much that I was left wanting more, but rather that I wasn't fully satiated with what I had.
Outlast 2 features audio that is constantly slithering up your spine and teasing you with a fright that may or may not pop out at any moment.
The experience is short, but ultimately well constructed. The ending has a very M. Night Shyamalan feel to it – you'll get some closure, but you'll also want more! Yes, What Remains of Edith Finch is essentially a walking simulator – but with a unique story, some very interesting sequences and some fun "game" moments, it's the best one I personally have had the pleasure of playing.
There's a greater depth to the level design than you get with most other shooters of this quality.
I commend the developer for taking on such an odd corner of literature and creating a unique story inspired by a Bohemian author.
Little Nightmares takes the budding “hide-and-seek-horror” genre to another level by implementing a visual style that is both grotesque and inescapable.
Making me wander over to the shop to purchase a stat upgrade already behind a progression gate is so pointless.
Short, contrived, and occasionally frustrating; Episode 4 of New Frontier is so far the weakest of the bunch, and it's up to the game's finale to bring this entry back to the top of its game.
Expeditions: Viking finds an excellent balance between historical realism and RPG mechanics.
Poisoft has shown the ability to create fun portable experiences in the past, but all of the trappings that would normally keep players coming back are missing here.
The limited HUD and outstanding sound design of Day of Infamy do wonders for immersion as it is just you down there, in the mud, holding onto your gun and scanning the terrain for the enemy.
This new content expands on the game quite a bit and adds both a new depth to making these characters your own, as well as more overt customization to the whim of the player.
Valhalla Hills is a middle-of-the-road "God game" sim. - See more at: http://cogconnected.com/review/valhalla-hills-review/#sthash.FY5xrvY3.dpuf
This first episode sets the stage in an entertaining and action-packed way, leaving just enough room amongst it all for the sarcastic group of characters many of us have come to know and love.
