Nick is GameCrate.com's Managing Editor. His Stardew Valley farm is going pretty well, but you don't care. Nobody cares.
8.4 / 10.0 - Echo Arena
Jul 20, 2017

Echo Arena sets a new high bar for competitive multiplayer VR, and feels like a major step forward for virtual reality.

May 24, 2017

An FPS roguelike wearing the suit of a 1996 shooter, STRAFE is a unique game that seems destined for a small but passionate following.

9 / 10.0 - Prey
May 8, 2017

Prey is the best BioShock-style game we've seen in years. It gets better the more you play it, and hides secrets that encourage repeat playthroughs. For fans of single-player titles, Prey is a game that belongs in Game of the Year discussions.

Dragon Quest Heroes II takes everything people love about Musou games and ramps up the fun factor. If the core gameplay elements don't interest you this game won't change your mind, but if large-scale action RPGs appeal to you even a little bit you'll likely have a blast with this one.

7 / 10.0 - Outlast II
Apr 24, 2017

If the number one thing you want from a game is a good scare, Outlast 2 is a big success. If you're looking for deep gameplay or replay value though, you'll have to look elsewhere.

Mass Effect: Andromeda manages to feel both overloaded with content and spread too thin. There are great battles to be won, puzzles to solve, and satisfying social interactions, but they're hidden behind layers of presentation problems and tedious travel times.

Torment: Tides of Numenera is a worthy follow-up to the original and a fascinating game in its own right.

Resident Evil 7 is a highly effective horror title fans of the genre will enjoy, as long as they can tolerate its short length. It's different than the past few Resident Evil titles, but it's different in the right ways.

Nov 14, 2016

Better than the first game in every way, Dishonored 2 is a creative stealth/action adventure packed with replay value.

Bold new ideas change up a classic formula, and the result just may be the strongest core Civilization game we've ever gotten.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided isn't a revolutionary experience, but it is a high-quality one in just about every way. If you're a fan of the genre or the series you'll love it, and it's worth a look even for those new to this kind of game (though prepare to wade through hip-deep lore as you go).

8 / 10.0 - No Man's Sky
Aug 11, 2016

No Man's Sky is all about the pure joy of exploration. It will be a polarizing game that will prove unsatisfying for some gamers, but it offers a vibrant, Zen-like experience others will treasure.

An interesting idea falls flat due to flawed execution in Time Machine VR.

8.5 / 10.0 - Overwatch
May 25, 2016

Overwatch could very well come to dominate the hero shooter genre. There's plenty of room for improvement around the edges, but the core is strong enough to make this another huge hit for Blizzard.

7.3 / 10.0 - Job Simulator (VR)
Apr 5, 2016

Job Simulator is a little on the expensive side for a game that doesn't offer a great deal of long-term challenge, but it's a great purchase for those new to VR or who want a fun and funny game to use to introduce VR to their friends or family.

Toki Tori 2+ is a great-looking puzzle platformer that doesn't quite reach the high standards of its predecessor.
