Apr 14, 2020

Final Fantasy VII Remake is going to be weird in so many different ways for so many different people, and for that reason alone I have to give it an enthusiastic recommendation.

3.5 / 5.0 - Resident Evil 3
Apr 14, 2020

Resident Evil 3 is a historically important game and its story is interesting. Had it come before Resident Evil 2, perhaps I would have been fonder of it. But as is, it feels like it doesn’t do as much or go as far as its predecessor, an issue exacerbated by the removal of some of its challenging and unique elements. It is worth playing, but people should enter with tempered expectations.

2.5 / 5.0 - Bleeding Edge
Mar 27, 2020

Overall I’m coming away from Bleeding Edge pretty disappointed.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons could end up being the most important game of 2020. It certainly will be one of its best. It will be the coping mechanism that helps people both recover from and overcome the dark things around them.

3.5 / 5.0 - DOOM Eternal
Mar 20, 2020

It’s weird to feel so disappointed by something so awesome. DOOM Eternal is a constant state of whiplash between being in absolute awe at the game’s mechanical brilliance, only to be snatched in the extreme opposite direction by stale storytelling and environmental padding.

4 / 5.0 - Nioh 2

Team Ninja has really changed its output style over the years, and it’s nailing this scene for sure.

3.7 / 5.0 - Darksiders Genesis
Feb 14, 2020

It is pretty clear [Darksiders Genesis] didn’t get the same level of attention as its predecessors.

Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is an intriguing entry in the ongoing Dragon Ball video game experiment.

3 / 5.0 - Shenmue III
Nov 22, 2019

Shenmue III deserved something better. The developers should have found a way to meld what makes Shenmue distinctly Shenmue with bringing the game mechanics into 2019. I’m all for remasters of old games and keeping those same clunky mechanics with those old games, including the punishing difficulty. However, I want my sequels to old games to adapt and grow with the times.

While it sounds like a lot of changes are present here, and a lot is new, Pokemon Sword and Shield doesn’t really feel all that different. The Wild Area does change things up quite a bit, but it isn’t completely revolutionary just yet.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a big, sloppy hodgepodge of AAA video game tropes, nerdy Star Wars stuff, and unearned blockbuster drama.

There are some strong elements here, and the balance between day and night activities can provide a good loop. It handles well, not letting obstacles get in people’s way, and gives folks a lot of extras to shoot for. Yes, it could use a more lifelike world, a more interesting story, and a better soundtrack. But, what’s here is fun. That’s what matters most right now.

4.7 / 5.0 - Death Stranding
Nov 11, 2019

Death Stranding will not be for everybody. It seems meticulously engineered for a pretty specific kind of nerd. My wife, for example, loves this game, and when she loves a game, she dumps hundreds of hours into it. Me? I merely like this game

4.8 / 5.0 - Luigi's Mansion 3
Nov 5, 2019

At its core, Luigi’s Mansion 3 is lovely. The campaign is clearly crafted with care and is filled with personality.

Both the campaign and (currently divisive) multiplayer add a lot of new angles and depth to the usual Call of Duty experience. Unfortunately, that all comes at the cost of a good story, and the last Modern Warfare had a great story.

2.5 / 5.0 - WWE 2K20
Oct 23, 2019

At its core, there is still a great deal of fun in playing WWE2K20, but the technical issues, poor visuals, and bad writing make this year an easy one to skip, especially if you’re still playing through WWE 2K19.

In the end, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint never finds its groove.

4 / 5.0 - FIFA 20

FIFA 20 feels like it might be a more divisive entry than usual.

4.8 / 5.0 - Borderlands 3

It looks, works, and plays well, and fans of the series will be more than happy to join the Crimson Raiders.

4 / 5.0 - Gears 5
Sep 6, 2019

Combined with a clean, user-friendly multiplayer suite that even finds time to add brand new ways to play, Gears 5 is a standout even among its own series. It’s rough around the edges, but in a good way.
