Damien Chambers's Reviews
With its engaging exploration, deep gameplay, well-acted characters, and a story that rivals those told in the MCU, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy is what more Marvel games should strive to be.
Back 4 Blood offers something for everone. It modernizes and refines the beloved gameplay of Left 4 Dead and offers a new card based system to help players build unique and interesting playstyles while a progression system tied solely to gameplay ensures players will keep coming back for more zombie killing mayhem!
Road 96 delivers unique and interesting stories with each randomly generated story it creates.
Rift Apart stands as culmination of everything possible for the series on next gen hardware, providing a delightful visual and technical showcase held up by top notch writing and a lovable cast of characters.
This is hands down the best way to experience one of the most iconic RPG series in the industry, one filled with loveable characters and an epic war against an intergalactic threat.
It pains me to say this, but all the color and character in the world—and even the legendary pedigree of developers Yuji Naka and Naoto Oshima—cannot save this outdated, uninspired, and just plain boring platformer.
If players can get past the grueling difficulty in the earliest parts of the game, they will find a whimsical fantasy tale that combines elements of genres they already love into something truly unique.
Scott Pilgrim Complete Edition is the definitive version of the beloved game that debuted two generations ago. This time, online multiplayer further enhances the fun as players can bring in three buddies to bash baddies and get the girl!
From the more simplified and streamlined combat and upgrade systems to the lack of weapons and gear deterioration, Fenyx Rising allows players to simply focus on the journey and all the joy and sense of wonder that comes with it. With the year we've all had in 2020, I don't know what more gamers could ask for from a new IP in an industry consistently drowning in an ocean or reboots, remakes, and remasters.
The Dark Pictures Anthology continues to hold much potential, but Little Hope's shortcomings show that Supermassive Games hasn't nailed their special formula just yet.
G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout's beautiful animated cutscenes can't make up for the poor gameplay and lack of online multiplayer.
Everyone should play Tell Me Why for what it says about how we often neglect or don't recognize the love of those around us and how that can effect everyone, not just ourselves.
With its beautiful art direction, interesting mix of strategy and rogue-like elements, and addictive gameplay, Othercide is a breath of fresh air in a genre that I didn't realize needed one.
Hellbound attempts a return to the classic and beloved twitch shooters of the 90's, but falls flat in too many ways to earn a recommendation.
SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is a fun, colorful, and funny remake of the beloved classic that brings together everything fans love about the show.
SuperMash is a unique and ambitious title that does some things right but at the expense of many other elements of the game
Darksiders is a fantastic game that successfully merges elements from Zelda and God of War to make a gritty classic all on its own.
The Touryst is what I have always wanted from an indie game; everything just meshes together so well to make the players feel like they're on vacation, giving a feeling I've never felt from games before, and for that, I highly recommend The Touryst to players looking for a fun summer getaway without even having to leave the couch!
With deep character customization, excellent tower defense gameplay, and customization that allows you to play how you want, Hypercharge: Unboxed is the FPS game that relives your childhood fantasy of toys coming to life.
Life Is Strange 2 is an important game solely because of the themes and concepts that it sets out to address across its 5 episodes, but due to its heavy topics and rough choices, it is difficult to play through it again for a different ending.
