Dragon’s Dogma 2 Review - Meeting This Epic Adventure Halfway

In the grand scheme of things, Capcom has delivered a sequel to make Dragon’s Dogma fans happy and wishing for more, but this isn’t a massive upgrade. Rather, it’s a modernization of the overall concept as the highs and lows of the first game mirror the sequel. If you can weather the storm that is Dragon’s Dogma 2, you might come out as one of the players who consider this one of the best RPG experiences they’ve ever played, or simply the worst.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Review - The Remake Everyone Was Waiting For

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was a joy to play from start to finish and is a title every FFVII fan should play as they’ve done an exceptional job at bringing to life the world outside Midgar. There are a lot of changes to the original, but they’re changes I find myself welcoming, as this has now been one of my favorite JRPG experiences in recent years.

Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth Review - In Kasuga We Trust

I took my time with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio’s latest entry in the long-running Yakuza franchise. The turned-based combat has greatly improved, the myriad of activities feel endless and entertaining, and the overall story left me teary-eyed and wanting more. I’m now more invested in the series than I ever was thanks to Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth with Kasuga leading the charge.

Darkest Dungeon 2 Review: A Punishing Journey into Darkness

In the realm of punishing roguelike experiences, Darkest Dungeon 2 stands as one of the greats. With its immersive art style and complex gameplay mechanics, paired with relentless difficulty, players will be left more battered and bruised, but also wiser and more satisfied as they keep on playing.

Redfall Review - Dull Fangs

Redfall is a game that doesn’t do enough to really stand out as it’s currently failing to provide even the basics in elements that define it. It’s a jumbled mess with only a handful of appealing traits keeping it fun enough to finish the main campaign. It looks like Arkane Studios strayed too far from the light with this one and is not something I would recommend.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores Review - New Islands, New Friends, New Toys

The Burning Shores DLC is an epilogue add-on that’s filled with rich content that felt completed, as opposed to, say, a jumble of leftover parts. Though it only adds just a little more context to the base game’s conclusion, it’s still worth taking the ride if you want more of Horizon Forbidden West.

Metroid Prime Remastered Review - Possibly the Greatest-ever 3D Metroidvania

Metroid Prime Remastered goes above and beyond to provide the best possible experience for the player. It is an incredible remaster in every sense of the word. In fact, it may rank alongside Rez HD as one of the best HD remasters I’ve ever played, as it is incredibly faithful to the original, more accessible, and beautiful both visually and aurally.

Destroy All Humans! 2 Reprobed is a gorgeous, fun-filled, and lovingly-designed follow-up, as well as a superb remaster, of a cult classic game. Even though its cargo is starting to show its age, Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed has enough in the cockpit to soar above the galaxy… and blast it to smithereens.

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands review - Roll for more Loot

On paper, it’s more Borderlands shooting and looting goodness with a high-fantasy twist, but also a reminder that there’s still a good amount of charm that can be found in this well-established series. If this is the direction the series will be going in the future, I’m all for it.

Star Wars Episode I: Racer Review (Nintendo Switch) - Be Quick, Or Be Dead

I thoroughly enjoyed my time revisiting Star Wars Episode I: Racer. Despite its occasional quirks and missed opportunities, it does deliver on a consistent, mostly-bug-free performance that made me pine for both LucasArts’ heyday, and the golden age of high-speed futuristic racers, which have all but disappeared as a sub-genre.
