78 / 100 - Rive
Sep 24, 2016

Instead of challenging twitch reflexes and harnessing learned strategies, Rive often relies on surprise confrontations.

80 / 100 - Virginia
Sep 23, 2016

While its basic mechanics and emphasis on story over gameplay won’t be for everyone, it’s a unique ride that mature and intelligent gamers should take, especially if they happen to be a fan of The X-Files or Twin Peaks.

_____________________________ “An intimidating UI and a stark jump in difficulty prevent Halcyon 6 from true greatness, but the game in its current form is still quite unique, and unlike anything I’ve ever played before.

It's all one long microtransaction process of repeating the same steps that goes with the theme, but eerily so.

78 / 100 - Event[0]
Sep 22, 2016

Because of the keyboard game mechanic, Event employs a rather odd movement mechanic where you use the mouse to not only control your direction laterally but forwards and backwards as well.

Jumping into Dragon Quest VII, I was treated to a well-paced, meaningful story that did not center itself around battles like many JRPGs try to do these days.

Sep 21, 2016

For all of FIFA 17’s additions and fixes, The Journey rounds out what is already the most complete football sim ever.

Unfortunately, you’ll see a remaster decline here as it’s not as well attended to as the first Bioshock game.

Sep 20, 2016

Gorgeous is the best way to describe Forza Horizon 3.

So in that fact, I can’t offer any review feedback on the gameplay or controls, as this is as basic as it can get.

Unlike the gameplay of Steins; Gate, it is the story which sets this visual novel apart from other games.

60 / 100 - King Oddball
Sep 19, 2016

Sounding great in practice, the game is a lot more about throwing rocks at infantry than it is about blowing them up, which is exponentially less exciting.

70 / 100 - ReCore
Sep 18, 2016

ReCore is plagued with horrible load times. The average length during my playthrough was close to two minutes and even surpassed that on a couple occasions.

Anyone who has any experience with the older Zelda games will immediately feel at home in this new 3D world.

When punch, punch, launcher kick, jump, insane piledriver is an option, I tend to get creative whenever possible.

83 / 100 - NHL 17
Sep 14, 2016

If you haven’t played EA’s NHL series yet, then you need to get NHL 17 now. It is an astoundingly-detailed, immersive hockey game that has something for every type of player to love. - See more at: http://cogconnected.com/review/nhl-17-review/#sthash.wAetawyS.dpuf

Salvation is loaded with 4 well thought-out maps that take you from a re-imagined western style map from Black Ops 2 to a map that makes you feel like a shrunken character from the movie “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids”.

61 / 100 - Shiny
Sep 13, 2016

With breathtakingly haunting audio and some nostalgic gameplay, Shiny is a wordlessly emotional story with a sympathetic hero that has all the potential to be a great experience.

63 / 100 - Tempest
Sep 13, 2016

Tempest is an open world action RPG that had a lot of promise but in reality, it is like a ship lost at sea.

68 / 100 - Assetto Corsa
Sep 12, 2016

It all comes down to the feel of the cars and Assetto Corsa passes that test as they all play just right and different enough between the various classes.
