While short, a Metal Gear game has never looked or played as good as Ground Zeroes. Bring on The Phantom Pain.
Murdered: Soul Suspect has a lot of great ideas, but none of them come together in a satisfying way.
Superb gameplay, a breakneck pace and terrifying enemies makes The Evil Within a wonderful survival horror experience.
A beautifully-designed game with a great creation toolkit, LittleBigPlanet 3 is let down by unimaginative co-op & bugs.
Imagination takes a backseat in Revelations 2, but great co-op and an intriguing story pumps blood through its veins.
Revelations 2 is getting tougher, and that's a very good thing.
There's a lot of momentum in Resident Evil: Revelations 2; fingers crossed it can keep it up to cross the finish line.
The first part of The Evil Within's DLC is just as good as the main game, with some great twists to the formula.
There's some good stuff here, but Barry's chapter is clunky, & heavy-handed exposition undermines its previous sharpness.
Revelations 2 is an entertaining horror experience; let's hope Capcom aims a little higher next time.
Tough gameplay and a beautiful new terrain balances out over-familiar questing in this worthwhile adventure.
The Consequence falls short of greatness, but chills with gruesome bosses and spectacular environments.
Taken slowly, Sunset is a beautiful, fascinating experience.
A briefly entertaining yet inessential addition to The Evil Within universe.
Until Dawn is an inconsistent horror game, but it's still a heck of a lot of fun.
The Beginner's Guide poses a number of academic questions around the nature of choice, interactivity, and creativity. While it offers no firm answers, it's one of the most thought-provoking and ultimately disarming interactive experiences I've had all year, and one I won't easily shake off.
Rise of the Tomb Raider takes its predecessor's winning formula & improves on it in every way.
Batman Arkham Knight: Catwoman's Revenge has a wonderfully twisted setting, but an- all-too-brief campaign doesn't utilize it enough. Like Arkham Knight's Batgirl DLC before it, this is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it affair.
Although not every part of That Dragon, Cancer works, it's a crushingly intimate game that left me thankful for the people who are still in my life, and reflective on those who are not. I'm so grateful to the Greens for sharing their experience.
Baba Yaga: The Temple of the Witch is a brief, but mostly entertaining chapter in Rise of the Tomb Raider's lore. While I would have happily swapped the return to the Soviet Installation for a new challenge tomb, its supernatural elements added a noticeably different feel and a welcome sense of tension to Lara's new adventure.
