- DirectorThomas SillowayScott RudiA physics-based online game where players engage in soccer-type matches using rocket powered, customizable cars.A near perfect gameplay experience. That is, at what it is and does it can't be done any better.
- DirectorHidetaka MiyazakiStarsDaniel FineJoe SimsWilliam VanderpuyeA hunter awakens in the plagued lands of Yharnam, where the denizens have succumb to beast hood, in an attempt to learn the truth and how to end the plague, unbeknownst of the true horror lurking within the city.A challenging game, not one that is always enjoyable. I hate grinding for its own sake but there's something cathartic about it in this game. It feels of the whole. It's a game that kept me coming back even when it wasn't perfect or always enjoyable.
- DirectorYusuke AmanoTsubasa SakaguchiStarsMari KikumaYuki KudaraYuki TsujiSplatter enemies and claim your turf as ink-spraying, squid-like Inklings in Nintendo's ultimate messfest.Really really fun, though sometimes you wonder if the gameplay always adds up to a perfect experience. I probably didn't spend quite enough time with it.
- DirectorAtsushi KonoStarsAtsushi MasakiCaety SagoianKazumi TotakaOn Craft island, the evil Magikoopa Kamek turns nearly all the Yoshis into bundles of yarn for his master Baby Bowser. However, two Yoshis manage to survive, and they set off to pursue Kamek and rescue their woolly friends.As far as simplistic 2D platforming yarn games go, this one is tops. It's really fun, even if it's way too easy and doesn't offer much that's new.
- DirectorWill BylesStarsHayden PanettierePeter StormareRami MalekA group of teenagers spend the weekend in a ski lodge on the anniversary of their friends' disappearance, unaware that they are not alone.A great experience and concept, so-so execution at times. The acting ranges from good to bad, and same goes for the story. Some of the "gameplay" bits can feel cheap.
- DirectorKonrad TomaszkiewiczStarsDoug CockleDenise GoughJo WyattThe monster slayer Geralt of Rivia must find his adoptive daughter who is being pursued by the Wild Hunt, and prevent the White Frost from bringing about the end of the world.This is a good game, though I question why so many find it great. It's very pretty, absolutely, and it's big (aren't they all these days) but the story is unwieldy, the gameplay average at best and the missions that I did finish, were boring fetch quest wastes of time. Apparently that's what people want. Oh, and a *beep* interface.
- DirectorYasuhiro AnpoKoushi NakanishiKen SakamotoStarsYûko KaidaYûsaku YaraAyumi FujimuraRevelations 2 sees the return of Claire Redfield, whom along with the daughter of Barry Burton, Moira Burton, must try to escape off a monster-infested island.This is like average Resident Evil. As if the game just kept being after Code:Veronica. It's more of the same, good and bad, maybe ultimately pointless though. It still doesn't control quite right, not like the classics anyway.
- DirectorRaoul BarbetMichel KochStarsHannah TelleAshly BurchNik ShrinerAn awkward photography student named Max discovers her ability to rewind time, and reunites with her estranged best friend Chloe to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a local girl.A good attempt at a purely story driven choose your adventure style game, but the dialogue feels so much like adults writing kids. It's massively cringey. And all the hip cool sci-fi/horror references for these kids *shudder*. But characterizations and overall story are solid
- DirectorOjiro FumotoA curious man dons his gunboots and explores a cave infested with monsters galore.A frustrating and sometimes addictive platformer. I played it on mobile, so the downward gameplay hook sometimes didn't work cause my thumb would get in the way.
- StarsMandell FrazierArt KulikMarcus NatividadMadden 16 is the continuation of the Madden franchise. In this game, you can play as your favorite team, build a team in ultimate team mode, and even play as your very own player!This is Madden.
- StarsJared ZeusNell MooneyBrian ProtheroeSimon Jarrett finds himself in a mysterious, ravaged facility after seemingly losing consciousness during a new, experimental brain scan which was suggested to him for his brain damage after his car accident.A decent little Bioshock inspired horror shooter adventure game. It's fine but it never hooked me. It felt like the components of other better games but never found a way to rise above them.
- DirectorTodd HowardStarsBrian T. DelaneyCourtenay TaylorStephen RussellIn the post-apocalyptic Boston, Massachusetts area, you play as the "Sole Survivor" of Vault 111, recently revived from centuries of forced cryostasis, determined to find your kidnapped son.More of the same. It's big and there's stuff to do. I just don't know why people care anymore. There's only so many nuts and bolts out of old drawers I can grab before I question my very existence if this is what I consider fun, or God forbid, art.
- DirectorShunsuke TakagiGet ready for the latest Pokémon puzzle game. Match three or more Pokémon to clear them from the screen and damage the opponent Pokémon. But watch out-your moves are limited, so use them wisely. With no time limit, you can create the best matches to deal out maximum damage. With many popular Pokémon, including some Mega-Evolved Pokémon, this is the perfect puzzle game for fans and for new players who want to get in on the Pokémon fun.Kinda fun. Apparently a ripoff of some other puzzlers. Oh well.
