Burial at Sea, Episode One is good but not essential - the only piece of BioShock story content you could say that about.

92 / 100 - Jazzpunk
Feb 6, 2014

Stylish, inventive and easily one of the funniest games in years. Jazzpunk just wants to make you laugh. Don't worry, it will.

53 / 100 - Blackguards
Feb 28, 2014

Masochistic stat-chasers will find much to enjoy, but Blackguards' varied combat is no substitute for a fully-formed RPG.

Rambling plot aside, Burial at Sea, Episode 2 is an entertaining stealth-lite shooter with a likeable lead.

An entertaining and efficient strategy game that improves on its predecessor—just not all that much.

The high-point of a consistently strong series, and a great showcase of adventure game design that fits the story's theme.

Not a dramatic reinvention, but still an enjoyable game of construction, economics and election fraud.

Clever questing and a stand-out combat system make for an entertaining MMO that's as large as it is full of character.

Satisfying arcade skate-'em-up that's fun from the off, and promises many hours on the hard path to mastery.

Makes you work a lot for very little. The repetitive churn of missions and activities further spoil an only occasionally entertaining shooter.

A fantastic campaign and massive open environments, soured only slightly by minor, persistent flaws.

Gat Out of Hell offers all the open-world distractions of a Saints Row game, but precious little of what made the last two so remarkable.

A perfect blend of science and slapstick, and a robust and compelling sandbox of possibility. Simply outstanding.

A fun, if lightweight, stealth combat game. The turn-based fighting isn't perfect, but remains entertaining enough to be worth a look.

A worthy end to Dragon Age: Inquisition. A lengthy quest with a satisfying pay-off makes up for some unimaginative encounters.

Beautiful, touching and messy. Life Is Strange is good—not great—but I'd recommend it to anyone.

A great expansion, and a promising sign of things to come. Some minor issues aside, Heart of Thorns is a clever addition to one of the best MMOs around.

88 / 100 - Fallout 4
Nov 9, 2015

A brilliant, massive sandbox of systems, albeit largely the same one Bethesda has been making for years.

Sloppy controls make for an infuriating platformer. If you want a modern Sonic game, get Generations instead.

A chaotic action romp, tragically let down by repetition and padding. There's fun to be had, but all too little variety in its huge open world.
