Review

Energy Cycle Review

I ought to preface this by saying I'm glad Sometimes You has found this comfortable avenue to continue making games. That doesn't mean I'll find all of their games to be successes either. Sprucing up Energy Cycle for next-gen only reveals inherent flaws that even a modest price point (and free upgrade) can't disregard. When a minimalist puzzle game mismanages its two fundamental pillars to such an extent, it's simply not worth your time.

Review

JARS Review

JARS is a strategy puzzle with tower defense elements from Mousetrap Games and Daedalic Entertainment, providing endless hours of jar-opening fun along with an intriguing story and quirky artwork. The puzzles themselves offer a ton of replayability, but it's the story that will ultimately make a lasting impression after every level.

Jett: The Far Shore opening scene and banner
Review

Jett: The Far Shore Review

Jett: The Far Shore is the first release from indie studio Superbrothers since Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP in 2011. They've lost none of their flair for evocative narrative beats but the gameplay becomes repetitive after the first few hours. Even their incredible world design and poetic dialogue can't save this space exploration story from mediocrity.

Review

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl Review

Whether it falls back to the unfortunately-named publisher, GameMill Entertainment, pushing developer duo Ludosity & Fair Play Labs or contractual expectations by Nickelodeon, this game was jettisoned into 2021 holiday window.  Even though this review envelopes a healthy share of criticisms, there's also something to be said about the fun buried deep beneath.

Crysis Remastered Trilogy featured image
Review

Crysis Remastered Trilogy Review

The Crysis Remastered Trilogy is an inconsistent package that suffers to varying degrees depending on which entry in the collection you're looking at. From a console gamer perspective, Crysis Remastered is rough around the edges, marred mostly by its bugs. Crysis 2 is as good of a remaster as you could want, but the game itself is less ambitious than its younger and older siblings. Crysis 3 is great, but it fails as a remaster with less polished visuals.

Insurgency Sandstorm Key Art
Review

Insurgency: Sandstorm Review

Finding a balance between hardcore, tactical combat and player accessibility is no easy task with first-person shooters, but New World Interactive found a way. It's not without modest gripes, such as some lackluster modes and enemy AI, which prevent Insurgency: Sandstorm from earning a pristine Medal of Honor, but its merits make it an easy shoe-in for a Silver Star.

Cloud Gardens is a dystopian sandbox puzzle-slash-sim from Noio where you make the most of the apocalypse by making plants grow. It’s an ultra-Zen title that forces you to slow down, think about life, and do a little gardening - which is a totally welcome experience for when you need a breath of fresh air in today’s suffocating world.

Hot Wheels Key Art
Review

Hot Wheels Unleashed Review

Hot Wheels Unleashed is a pretty-looking game with a fairly limitless track-building mode that helps keep the races fresh, but an ancient method of car collection and a questionably included "story mode" hold the game back from shining.
