Alan Wake II review

Robert Allen — Wed, 01 Nov 2023 20:11:21 +0000

It’s Not a Sam Lake Game, it’s a Sam Ocean Experience Remedy Entertainment is fixated on the metaphysical. Revisit 2001’s Max Payne and you’ll inevitably curse at the stages situated inside the eponymous character’s headspace. As Max navigates a labyrinthine trail of blood, you’re given a reprieve from the tense, bullet-time driven gunplay. In its ...

GameSir G7 SE Controller review

Robert Allen — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 17:43:58 +0000

If you don’t mind a wired connection, GameSir’s latest is one of the best budget Xbox and Windows compatible gamepads around. Not that long ago, third-party console controllers were almost always accompanied by a compromise. Sure, you might have been able to save a few bucks by purchasing hardware from PDP, PowerA, or RockCandy. But ...

Ed-0: Zombie Uprising review

Robert Allen — Tue, 18 Jul 2023 17:19:51 +0000

Following a year in Steam’s Early Access program, the Xbox port of Ed-0: Zombie Uprising still retains a bit of jank. But the game also offers a rather distinctive take on the action-driven, roguelike formula. Still, those who enjoy quirky games and have forgiveness for minor flaws might enjoy walking the path of an undead ...

NeverAwake (Xbox Series S/X) review

Robert Allen — Tue, 11 Jul 2023 22:40:51 +0000

Don’t sleep on NeverAwake, which provides an engaging, unexpectedly adaptable twin-stick shooting journey through a young girl’s psyche. NeverAwake is a twin-stick shooter set in a world of surrealistic dreams. Visually, the game is distinctive, with sizable sprites and bosses that habitually fill the screen. Each of the game’s 80 stages positions you inside the subconscious of ...

Catan- Console Edition review

Robert Allen — Sat, 18 Mar 2023 00:41:20 +0000

Catan- Console Edition is a functional interpretation of the classic Eurogame that flaunts detailed visuals. But beyond that, the $19.99 base game doesn’t deliver many frills. As digital adaptations of tabletop games go, Catan- Console Edition makes a stunning first impression. After panning across a ridiculously faultless ocean, our point-of-view settles on a cluster of ...

Like a Dragon: Ishin! review

Robert Allen — Sun, 26 Feb 2023 00:37:15 +0000

A Yazuka spin-off where you’ll sing, dance, fish, farm, and adopt animals when you’re not looking for your father’s killer. Largely, the Yazuka franchise has eluded failure. The closest the property has come to disappointment was 2011’s Yakuza: Dead Souls, a non-canonical spin-off that attempted to shoehorn in House of the Dead-style gunplay where you ...

Destroy All Humans! 2 – Reprobed review

Robert Allen — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 03:05:10 +0000

Even those with no connection to the Age of Aquarius will have a good time breaking stuff as a bad-ass, perpetually horny extra-terrestrial. One of the defining genres of the early 2000s was the open-world action game. From Radical Entertainment’s Prototype duology, Sucker Punch’s Infamous series, and even Edge of Reality’s The Incredible Hulk, the ...

Bright Memory: Infinite (Xbox Series X) review

Robert Allen — Fri, 22 Jul 2022 19:40:39 +0000

Building on its technically skilled predecessor, Bright Memory: Infinite retools the action, resulting in a brief, but thoroughly thrilling, single-player campaign. First, a confession: I used to routinely play Call of Duty for the single-player action. I was completely indifferent to getting my ass kicked around by 50-hour-a-week professionals. And I honestly couldn’t tell you much about the storyline ...

Redout 2 review

Robert Allen — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 00:19:50 +0000

Like most sequels, Redout 2 intensifies the foundations of its predecessor. Earning a win was tough before, but with a twin-stick control scheme and courses seemingly built for carnage, now the game will truly test your reflexes and patience. Miss one of the grueling jumps, and you’ll probably need to restart the whole race. The ...

Sniper Elite 5 review

Robert Allen — Thu, 26 May 2022 02:45:28 +0000

Rebellion’s latest is yet another long-range bulls-eye for the franchise. Like series star Karl Fairburne, don’t miss this one, especially if you’re a fan of slow-boiled, methodical stealth. World War II lasted for six years. But the Sniper Elite series has been gunning down Nazis for nearly three times as long. Initially restrained by ...

Assetto Corsa Competizione (Xbox Series S/X) review

Robert Allen — Fri, 04 Mar 2022 04:05:12 +0000

For dedicated racing enthusiasts only, Assetto Corsa Competizione’s recent update improves the quality of the simulation. Now, doing poorly in the Blancpain GT Series squarely rests on your incompetence. 2019’s Assetto Corsa Competizione took a gamble by scaling down the scope of the franchise. Instead of offering a comprehensive simulation, the follow-up focused on Group ...

Echo Generation review

Robert Allen — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 13:58:19 +0000

Drawing inspiration from everything from Earthbound, Paper Mario, to Stranger Things, there’s a lot to like above about Echo Generation. For many, the richly detailed voxelated visuals are nearly reason enough to give the game a go. But be warned, the title’s decidedly old-fashioned fetch quests can induce fatigue. As everything from Stranger Things, The ...

Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- The Hinokami Chronicles review

Robert Allen — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 03:49:05 +0000

The Hinokami Chronicles’ leap into interactive form succeeds not just because fighting captures the visual charm of the source material. It also nails some of the tender story beats that separate Demon Slayer from most shōnen. Since its debut in Weekly Shōnen Jump five years ago, Koyoharu Gotouge’s Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has enjoyed ...

Hot Wheels Unleashed review

Robert Allen — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 03:22:01 +0000

Unleashed offers the quintessential Hot Wheels experience, extending racing, track design, and collecting into a cohesive package. Just like the source material, accumulating new vehicles is nearly as fun as actual play. Although Forza Horizon 3’s DLC was admirable, the Hot Wheels brand hasn’t enjoyed a truly faithful interactive crossover. Sure, there have been a ...

Lost Judgment review

Robert Allen — Fri, 24 Sep 2021 01:25:28 +0000

With talks of Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Toshihiro Nagoshi splitting with the studio and murmurs over disagreements with Takuya Kimura’s (responsible for Takayuki Yagami’s facial capture and voicing) talent agency, the continuation of the franchise isn’t guaranteed. If Lost Judgment happens to be end of the spin-off series, the team should be commended for crafting ...

WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship review

Robert Allen — Fri, 03 Sep 2021 18:35:21 +0000

Built upon successful foundations, WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship doesn’t radically improve the series. But additions that commemorate the organization, adjust car handling, and provide access to a livery editor make this worthwhile, especially if you’re been spectating for the last few seasons. As anyone who has played a long-running Electronic Arts or 2K ...

Judgment (Xbox Series X/S) review

Robert Allen — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 19:28:23 +0000

The Dragon Engine makes a winning now-gen debut with Judgment, offering a stable, 60FPS framerate, almost imperceivable load times, and all the largely inconsequential DLC of the PlayStation 4 version. Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s Yakuza series is undoubtedly one of gaming’s most unique franchises, with a duality nearly unrivaled in any medium. Across seven main iterations, an ...

The Outer Worlds: Murder on Eridanos (DLC) review

Robert Allen — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 16:46:36 +0000

The Outer Worlds’ concluding expansion delivers a satisfying digression elevated by darkly comical dialog and an occupying whodunit. Obsidian Entertainment’s 2019 release, The Outer Worlds, was built on a trio of strengths. The game’s combat was solid, with gunplay that flirted with stagnancy only near the end of the 15-25 hour campaign. Narratively, the branching ...

Monster Truck Championship (Xbox Series S/X) review

Robert Allen — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 00:08:21 +0000

Monster Truck Championship offers a realistic recreation of its inspiration. Racing, stunting, and destruction are all appealing once you’re mastered the controls. But you might wish the developers opted for a more accessible approach. Seemingly, monster trucks are ideal video game subjects. With their oversized tires, sophisticated suspensions, and eye-catching artwork, they sport an unmistakably ...

Cyber Shadow review

Robert Allen — Fri, 05 Feb 2021 04:38:31 +0000

Enjoy a challenge? Cyber Shadow demands the kind of pixel-perfect precision required by the eight-bit era’s toughest trials. So, if you’re tastes lean toward the masochistic, you’ll discover a punishing good time without benefit of a ‘safe word’. Are today’s games any more enjoyable than the ones of yesteryear? That’s a tough question, but it’s ...
