Asher Madan's Reviews
Overall, Spyro Reignited Trilogy is an excellent remake of the originals.
Far Cry New Dawn is a great experience, especially with its addictive gameplay, but it always feel like it's a side note in a larger saga.
Overall, Devil May Cry 5 is a fun game — one that is utterly spectacular — but Capcom could've done more to evolve the franchise's format.
Black Desert is an expansive game, but Pearl Abyss needs to fix its technical problems on Xbox One.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a captivating experience given its setting and lore. There are so many mysteries to uncover, and I can't wait to play it even more.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy can't stand up to the likes of major "AAA" blockbusters, but it offers tremendous enjoyment and satisfaction. If you haven't played these games before, now's the time to pick them up.
Overall, Mortal Kombat 11 is a stellar fighting game and is one of the best ones ever made in my opinion. The depth and variety it offers are unparalleled, even by the likes of Injustice 2, another NetherRealm creation. There are so many characters to customize and master — with many more on the horizon — which should keep you enthralled for months to come.
Team Sonic Racing offers a satisfactory experience. If you love Mario Kart 8 and want something on Xbox One, the game should satisfy you in the interim. However, you might want to wait for another, better game like Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a good game, but it would've been better had it featured expansive environments.
One of the best run 'n' gun shooters out there.
I don't think I've ever played a game like this before where I've actively communicated about strategies because everything is so diverse from player to player.
Considering the fact that the game only costs $20, it represents astonishing value because it'll take you dozens of hours to complete and features a lot of replayability. Just don't expect the best story.
Blasphemous requires a lot of patience and practice because you have to get really good at the combat. If you like challenging platformers, then this a must-have due to its unique story and art style. However, it may not be for everyone due to its steep difficulty and focus on constant death.
The Surge 2 is full of surprises, but not the ones you'd expect.
Hunt: Showdown is a great shooter that needs stronger single-player support.
Code Vein is a great game, but needs more polish.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a great shooter that gets repetitive after a while.
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep elevates the gameplay, but falters on a storytelling front.
Citadel: Forged with Fire is a good game, but needs more polish.
Shenmue III is a good game, but feels quite dated.
