70 / 100 - Deponia Doomsday
Mar 9, 2019

Bottom line, if you love old school point and clickers with humour like Monkey Island, then Deponia Doomsday is a decent enough port for your PS4 that won’t give you any control headaches.

15 / 100 - Necro Mutex
Mar 9, 2019

Necro Mutex wants to be an old-school shooter but it fails to capture the elements of what made those games special and fun.

79 / 100 - Pode
Mar 7, 2019

Pode does a good job of being adorable, puzzling in all the right ways, and fun, all in the span of a few hours and while it’s worth mentioning the game seems a tad too short, the consistent pacing throughout makes it feel like a bit of a longer journey than it actually is.

94 / 100 - Devil May Cry 5
Mar 6, 2019

Devil May Cry 5 excels at bringing back that iconic feeling the franchise is known for and does so with killer style, strategic, fast-paced combat, and a pumping soundtrack. With a cast of both familiar faces in Trish and Lady, as well as newcomers Nico and V, this is a game that gives me confidences for the future of the Devil May Cry series.

71 / 100 - Dead or Alive 6
Mar 6, 2019

Even without casual matchmaking, Team Ninja delivered an incredibly entertaining tournament until the weight of progression started to sink in.

84 / 100 - Beat Cop
Mar 5, 2019

All in all, this is a great homage to 1980’s cop shows that shouldn’t be missed.

If you haven’t pulled the trigger on NieR: Automata yet, this is the time! As a brand new player, I feel ridiculous for waiting this long to dive in. Dearth of new content or not, the Game of The YoRHa edition is a terrific good time.

Overall, The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince was a delightful experience and is undeniably a story to remember.

If you’ve been burned by console strategy games in the past, Stellaris: Console Edition will wipe away all of your fears. It’s both innovative and ambitious as a 4X, while also, at the same time, raises the bar for what’s possible with the genre on consoles.

88 / 100 - APE OUT
Mar 3, 2019

A refreshingly original game that takes its gaming influences and runs with them like a jazz soloist on a Saturday night, Ape Out is one game that elevates ultraviolence to an art form.

70 / 100 - Caveblazers
Mar 2, 2019

Caveblazers is a sharply put together game. If I had received it as a birthday present for my Gameboy in the late 90s, I would have played it on every long car ride.

75 / 100 - Arcade Spirits
Mar 2, 2019

It doesn’t really bring any innovation into dating sim world but it is one I can easily recommend.

As someone who was so genuinely moved and inspired by The LEGO Movie 2, it breaks my heart to see that the game was rushed to market and clearly the developers weren’t given the resources to properly respect it, or its audience.

77 / 100 - Q.U.B.E. 2
Feb 28, 2019

Q.U.B.E. 2 is a worthy successor to the previous game, building upon the established mechanics and basics of an exemplary puzzle-solving experience.

The design overall, along with the graphics and the animation are all really good and stand up to other strategy games out there in this particular slice of the genre like Civilization VI.

Trials Rising is a brilliant return to the Trials franchise.

If you’re looking for a stealth VR title with solid gameplay and a decent story, seek no further – Intruders: Hide and Seek is a worthy VR title hiding in plain sight.

With beautiful graphics and fluid hack ’n’ slash action, not to mention the back and forth hilarious banter from our heroes, this title is an easy pick whether you are playing it at home or on the go.

60 / 100 - Anthem
Feb 22, 2019

Despite Anthem’s very noticeable hiccups, there’s enough of a solid groundwork here that I think Anthem can be built off of into something unique. Sadly, it falls into the same shortcomings as its predecessors, featuring a minimal endgame and some almost obtuse design choices.
