Game Reviews

For better and for worse Yooka-Laylee accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. A throwback to a time when 3D platformers reigned supreme, but it holds on to nostalgia too closely, never quite coming into its own.

Persona 5 has great gameplay and great visuals, but crucially stumbles in pacing and progressive character drama.

Loot Rascals is a colorful, fun take on roguelikes that is all the best aspects of a quick pick-up-and-play game with an approachable nature.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the killer app for the Nintendo Switch. It is also a new modern masterpiece.

NieR: Automata is a flawed but wholly enjoyable action RPG with epic fights and epic-er bosses.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands is extremely repetitive, has terrible vehicle controls, and is full of wooden characters that you won’t care about for a second. But somehow it manages to be great addictive fun.

Shovel Knight Specter of Torment is a prequel to the grand adventure that manages to have dark moments, tragic yet endearing heroes, and some more fresh and exciting gameplay to enjoy.

Psychonauts In The Rhombus of Ruin is a charming VR episode filled with puzzles, psychic abilities and the quirky humor that Psychonauts is known for. It feels like a fresh update to the classic point and click formula and does a good job bridging the gaps between Psychonauts and Psychonauts 2.

Night In The Woods is a charming and well-executed slice of American life in a small town with some minor pacing issues but a lot of heart.

With fast paced combat, fluid controls, and some novel multiplayer modes, Halo Wars 2 adds up to a flawed but uniquely fun strategy experience

With a brand new combat system and engaging world, For Honor is shaping up to be a redefinition of 3D fighters. Check out our review here!

Here’s our Gravity Rush 2 review – it’s overall a solid game. You’d clock in over 40 hours playing Gravity Rush 2, but the flight is worth it.

Nioh is a confident and proudly Japanese Action RPG from its setting and characters to its weapons and monsters. Equal parts difficult and rewarding.
