"There's a lot of weirdness in the world that just begs for more investigation"
Sony's third create-em-up peaks with the most for creators, but least for players.
A messy but fun shooter that struggles to combine military tools with police life.
A lackluster and fragmented game that never really comes together in any meaningful way. In almost every sense that matters, from story to combat, horror, and atmosphere, Alone in the Dark leaves much to be desired.
No matter how careful you are, it only takes the slightest thing to bring everything crashing down.
Silent Hill: The Short Message is an interesting, if not amazing rebirth for the series that proves it can be reanimated for a modern audience. Atmospheric and full of potential it bodes well for future instalments.
An oddly pitched remake that has its moments but adds very little to the original beyond a visual upgrade
A fantastic looking game that builds a great sci-fi world only to trash it with an unenjoyable combat challenge.
A fun but poorly paced horror adventure that's both slow to start and over too fast
As brilliant as it is infuriating, The Witness' ingenious puzzles all too easily have their shine worn away by length and a constantly extending complexity.
Mirror's Edge: Catalyst is an interesting game with some strong ideas but not enough variety.
An interesting change of pace for a first person shooter that has some nice ideas and mechanics, but can't quite get everything to sing.
A decent, if unspectacular take, on an alien Far Cry that uses its source material well to create an engaging world to explore.
Enjoying Dead Island 2 requires you to accept it's 95% hitting zombies with sticks – and the remaining 5% is choosing the stick
Dying Light 2 offers a great open world playground for zombie survival, but lacks an impactful story or meaningful choices.
A strong start and okay finish makes this average out as decent but not amazing installment.
An enjoyable hack and slash looter that plays well despite a sparse, repeating structure
Days Gone is a keen and engaging open world zombie adventure despite some issues.
As much a detective story as a horror one, Vampyr rewards you for taking an interest in the people around you and tests your moral compass with a lack of black and white options.
A decent survival game with a rewarding, if uninspired, grind to its resource collecting and base management.
