Kevin Tavore's Reviews
Thea does almost everything decently, but its flaws hold each of its parts back from being great. The one undeniable success in the game is the top tier story and worldbuilding that makes the game worth your time if you can get past the flaws.
This year's MotoGP entry takes one step forward and two steps back, offering a game without much innovation and even less reason to return for another lap around the course.
Valkyria Revolution comes from a line of highly-acclaimed titles, but this one undoubtedly misses the mark.
If you're just looking to play in the dirt, WRC 7 is an excellent experience you'll be glad to have played.
Lightfield has succeeded in creating a new take on an old racing subgenre that is worthy of your time.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a magnificent success.
Overall, Shadow of War is an excellent game that offers dozens of hours of enjoyable content. It's a game that's worthy of every minute you'll put into it.
Outcast is a special piece of gaming history that surprisingly and against any reasonable expectation withstood the test of time. It absolutely should not be missed.
Overall, "A Walk in the Park" is easy to recommend — if you liked The Surge and you want more of it, that's what you'll get here and you're in for a great time at the theme park. If you couldn't get over the issues in The Surge then there's nothing here that's going to change your mind.
If you're looking for deep combat and puzzles in a Zelda style, you'll have to look elsewhere, but for anyone else, Okami offers a rich world that will undoubtedly leave you happy to have been in.
Xuan-Yuan Sword is gaming's homage to a "so good it's bad" B-movie.
Monster Hunter: World captures that feel of hunting, and despite its technical quirks and poor design decisions, if you've got a group of friends to play with it comes highly recommended. If you're running solo, you might be better waiting for a sale.
It's nothing more or less than fine.
These games are classics, and for the most part they still hold up today.
TERA could have been a great MMO. The world is large, beautiful and full of content. The gameplay itself is exciting and fresh, with plenty to offer in terms of depth and accessibility. But TERA on Xbox is not a great MMO. In its current state, it's not even a good one.
Ultimately, this is a game that came out of nowhere to take me on a surprise journey I never imagined I'd want to be on and I loved every second of it.
The "Guardian Trials" is a rather timid and safe entry into Super Lucky's Tale's stable of gameplay. The essence of this DLC could be quite fairly distilled down into "more of the same," which is fine if hardly a ringing endorsement.
City of Brass looks like a beautiful epic straight out of the tales of the Arabian Nights. Instead, it's a dreadful slog designed to avoid everything that makes a roguelite game replayable and fun.
This game couldn't be recommended to anyone and it only earns a score even this high because it is not functionally broken, but that's nothing to be proud of.
"ZAMB!" sounds like an exciting pop, but I've come to realize that in this comic book it signals one deadening idea: boredom.
