Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories Review

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories is a bad remake of a solid game. Full of boring grind, filler story, and bad difficulty spikes, it doesn't have enough good elements to redeem itself as anything other than average.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate Review

Super Smash Bros Ultimate is just as the name suggests, the Ultimate Smash experience. All the characters and stages have returned. A better balance across all 74 playable characters. Returning single player game modes as well as a whole new story mode that merges Super Smash with RPG elements. This is a game that you'll want to play with friends on the big screen, or on your own anywhere.

Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu! Review

I may no longer be the target audience with Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu! and Eevee!, but I am glad that future children will be, so I can share in their experience in a way that creates new adventures for us both.

Gungrave VR Review

Despite being only 45 minutes long, Gungrave VR manages to showcase an overwhelmingly high amount of terrible decisions, boring gameplay, and barebone plot.

Arca's Path Review

Arca's Path is simple enough for VR newbies to enjoy, but also complicated enough to be a satisfying game for anyone.

Remothered: Tormented Fathers Review

Despite its flaws, Remothered; Tormented Fathers is a step in the right direction for survival horror. Horror fans should give the game a serious look.

Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection Review

Persona Dancing: Endless Night Collection offers a solid dose of Persona that fans off the series are sure to love, but the content is a bit thin and the rhythm game is mediocre at best.

Darksiders 3 Review

Darksiders 3 makes up its lack of depth in satisfying combat and memorable boss fights, making for a solid third entry in the series.

LEGO DC Super-Villains Review

While I doubt it will convince those bored of LEGO games otherwise, LEGO DC Super-Villains is a fun entry into the series that embraces its evil side for something a little more interesting than normal.

The Walking Dead: The Final Season Episode 2 Review

Suffer the Children is a fantastic second episode for The Walking Dead: The Final Season. Unfortunately, the reality is that it's also probably the final episode, and it just doesn't cut it as a finale.

Red Dead Revolver Review

Red Dead Revolver used to be an interesting, if not particularly great, third person shooter. Time has not been kind to its mechanics, frustrating design, poor voice acting, or forgettable story.

The Jackbox Party Pack 5 Review

The Jackbox Party Pack 5 has a game for almost anyone. While including one false start the rest of the games included in the bundle will be a great addition to any kind of gathering or party. Jackbox Games has done an amazing job with this bundle showing they're still consistently coming up with bigger and better ideas.

LEGO Marvel Superheroes 2 Review

LEGO Superheroes 2 adds more characters, references, and story to the previous entry while remaining to stand still is most other regards. Plenty of fun with friends or hunting down that last objective, but when left to your own devices, you might find yourself deviating.

Super Mario Party Review

Super Mario Party brings back the classic formula, and while there are some features that haven't made the return, great new additions like Partner Party and River Survival make this one of the best Mario Party games in at least a decade.

The Council Episode 4 Review

Burning Bridges manages to keep The Council's plot going and introduces an interesting new mechanic. However, it is also glitchy and fails to deliver the puzzling fun of the past few episodes.

Creed: Rise to Glory Review

Creed: Rise to Glory's boxing manages to hold the game together, and exceeds what I'd expect from a licensed VR game. This is well worth playing for anyone looking to punch a face or two in VR.

Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle Review

This collection of arcade favorites is a must play for historians and beat em up veterans. For everyone else, the completely busted online play and lackluster extras may be a roadblock.

New Gundam Breaker Review

New Gundam Breaker has more bad than good, the fascinating story and characters are overshadowed by repetitive gameplay, pricey Gunpla parts, and sloppy controls.

Ninjin: Clash of Carrots Review

Ninjin: Clash of Carrots is an absolute joy to play. With a sharp sense of humor, surprisingly deep gameplay, and a wealth of content to enjoy, this is one giant leap for bunnykind.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider Review

Playing more like a massive expansion to Rise of the Tomb Raider rather than a new entry in the series, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is still a solid, if derivative, game.

Far Cry 5: Dead Living Zombies Review

With very little going for it, Far Cry 5: Dead Living Zombies closes out Far Cry 5's Season Pass with a third and final stinker.

Guacamelee 2 Review

Guacamelee 2 is a very safe sequel that does little to innovate or surprise, but it's still a solid action-platformer with satisfying combat, tight controls, and an undeniable charm.

Review

Blade Strangers Review

While Blade Strangers is a perfectly competent fighting game, it will struggle to find an audience. Too simple for fighting fans, too niche for kids and not enough story for fans of the source material, it simply fails to meet the mark.

Gene Rain Review

Gene Rain is a combination of so many terrible elements that at times it's genuinely, completely, baffling. At one point a character says "Existence has long been considered the only value in humans." I'm not sure I agree with him, because the other value in humans is their ability to not play Gene Rain.

Death's Gambit Review

Death's Gambit shows moments of potential, but they're undercut by bad storytelling, flat combat, and a nagging sense that it's all been done better elsewhere.

Yakuza Kiwami 2 Review

As a remake of a sequel, it's no surprise that Yakuza Kiwami 2 has a lot more on offer than the first title. However, the choice to stick with Yakuza 6's convoluted stats system is an unfortunate blip in what could have been an ideal remake.

The King's Bird captures a freewheeling spirit in its aerial platforming but doesn't do enough to leave a mark with anyone but the most hardcore.
