Few games have made exploring an open world this much fun, and the last time I enjoyed searching areas for collectibles this much was in Infamous: Second Son.
I honestly believe that while this game didn't need a multiplayer experience, it would have benefited greatly from a story mode.
Around the 11 or 12th level is where it feels like you've hit a wall with the game. Expect to die a lot in Not a Hero.
But LEGO Marvel's Avengers is a step above its predecessors in its ability puts you in the shoes of the superheroes you love.
Make just a few simple mistakes and you're kicked back to the map, losing whichever gear you may have brought into your last attempt.
XCOM 2 succeeds in making a more cinematic experience for the story and adds a little bit more personality to the supporting characters of Officer Bradford and Proffessor Tygen.
_____________________________ "Anyone sinking money into this title for their console might regret that decision and wish they had tossed a few bucks on it in the app store instead.
Fortified is compelling enough to get through, in its simple but gratifying gameplay, but it doesn't offer enough to pull me in.
The developers have managed to impart the rules of the game without a single bit of text other than the controls for interacting with the mazes and how to sprint.
I love the idea behind Dreii's design as well. Working with others in this game is co-operative in every sense of the word…
Clockwork Tales ends as a disappointing couple hours of play. It may be worth it when the game goes under $5 but before then it just isn't worth your time.
The battle with Baba Yaga alone is worthy of the price of admission.
You've very likely played a 'match 3' game. You've played one, your Mom who doesn't play games has played one, your Grandfather who's invited you to play Candy Crush more times than you can count… he's played one.
The style of this game is what drew me in at the start. Flashy animations with a unique design that reminds me a bit of a cartoon film noir.
Deserts of Kharak is a triumphant return to Homeworld, just minus the space part.
Overall, its a competent strategy game that is bogged down by its immature humor and annoyances.
The Banner Saga is a good game when it comes to it's unique combat, art style, and atmospheric score but the awkward transition of the menus to console and the presentation of its plot hold it back from being great.
I can't really stress how much I love this expansion though. It provided more of what people loved about Bloodborne; fantastic music, cool trick weapons, and monstrous bosses that will kick your ass.
Put it all together, and the easy and fun game you started to play soon becomes a pretty stressful rock-paper-scissors cycle that really demands your attention.
AIPD rocks a pretty decent soundtrack as the electronic, techno, wub-wub, untz untz untz is perfectly suited for the game.
