"..it should have been delayed at least 6 months for more development, or outright canceled."

6.9 / 10.0 - Excubitor
May 26, 2016

Excubitor has a lot of enjoyable moments, though the tower defense elements lack and the controls take a little time to get used to.

6.2 / 10.0 - Hard Reset Redux
Jun 21, 2016

If I were to describe this Hard Reset Redux in two words, it would be “aggressively mediocre.

8.3 / 10.0 - Fast RMX
Mar 7, 2017

If you love arcade racers like Hydro Thunder, Star Wars Racer, and, of course, F-Zero, you’ll likely love what Fast RMX has to offer.

9.8 / 10.0 - Horizon Zero Dawn
Mar 11, 2017

If you have a PS4, you owe it to yourself to play this game as soon as possible (and if you don’t yet own a PS4, it’s worth buying one for).

6.9 / 10.0 - Lego Worlds
Mar 16, 2017

Its colorful landscapes built entirely of LEGOs and massive library of LEGO items you can use to create your own worlds are too bountiful to ignore. However, when you’re seeing a miserable 14 FPS and you’re unable to play smoothly, it’s a jarring experience that makes you never want to play with LEGOs again.

If you are a major fan of the Zero Escape series, this game is definitely recommended for the added voice acting alone, or just to play it all over again. However, if you already beat the games and are not looking forward to suffering through those puzzles again, it might be best to pass, as there is not much new content added.

8.3 / 10.0 - Has Been Heroes
Mar 27, 2017

I'm not sure if the game would work as well for such an extended period of time if I were tethered to an Xbox One or my PC to play, but the Nintendo Switch appears to provide for the best gameplay experience.

6.5 / 10.0 - Yooka Laylee
Apr 4, 2017

Despite its commendable protagonist and world design (mostly), the reliance on nostalgia hinders its ability to present fresh ideas, and when that issue is paired with the performance issues, you’re better off just dusting off an old N64 somewhere or waiting for it to be deeply discounted.

4 / 10.0 - Drawn To Death
Apr 8, 2017

"Drawn to Death feels like the embodiment of the bad reputation that 90s punk bands used to have."

8.7 / 10.0 - Outlast II
Apr 24, 2017

"...I had to decide if I wanted to continue on for this review or come out with a DNF and go watch some cartoons to soothe my tortured soul. Seriously, Outlast 2 has some of the scariest moments you’ll find in a video game."

All in all, Symphony of the Machine is a solid VR title with fun puzzles set in an interesting world… I just don’t see it satisfying non-puzzle fans, nor do I think it’s the best VR puzzle game currently available.

8.6 / 10.0 - Little Nightmares
May 1, 2017

While not actually frightening, its otherworldly characters are well conceptualized, and they’re each ugly and punishing enough to make gameplay interesting.

7.5 / 10.0 - Prey
May 9, 2017

Prey is not a perfect game, but the excellent world building, characters, and stories kept me invested enough to see the credits role.

8.1 / 10.0 - Portal Knights
May 18, 2017

If you love to gather up resources, craft things, gather more resources, and craft better things, Portal Knights is definitely for you. It’s a good mix of Minecraftian adventure and RPG. It’s delightfully whimsical, and the vibes it puts out are simply charming.

Skylar & Plux succeeds in what it had set out to achieve: an homage to the classic N64 platformers like Mario, Ratchet and Clank, and Banjo-Kazooie. There are as many flaws in this game as those classics.

9.6 / 10.0 - Injustice 2
May 23, 2017

While Gods Among Us was just a good game, Injustice 2 successfully brings the franchise into greatness, providing a near-perfect superhero fighting game for comic book-loving gamers.

5.8 / 10.0 - Dynasty Feud
May 29, 2017

"Speaking in the most general sense possible, Dynasty Feud is a mixed bag. It certainly has some charm and the concept and maps are good, but it still feels like it’s a game stuck in the conceptual phase, lacking the fully fleshed out ideas that would make it a must-play game."

7.5 / 10.0 - Tokyo Xanadu
Jul 1, 2017

Tokyo Xanadu is an enjoyable Vita title with fun combat, mostly enjoyable characters, and an overall solid gameplay. It does lack in storytelling elements and falls on generic tropes, but it is worth picking up if you love anime based games, JRPGs, social systems in games, or Falcom games.

At its core, Micro Machines World Series had the potential to be much more than it actually is. More modes, more options, and more cars could've made this into a much more formidable game.
