Video Game Reviews

Yakuza reinvents itself for a new generation.

A decent ride for younger audiences, but largely forgettable by and large.

Dirt 5 effectively improves on its predecessor and its genre.

Little Hope paves a path for the future.

NHL 21 takes some bold shots, but doesn’t quite connect with many of its goals.

Imperfect yet enjoyable dungeon crawling.

Amnesia: Rebirth elevates psychological horror to an entirely new level.
G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout Review – Anything But Mint Condition
The textbook definition of a generic third-person shooter.
Cloudpunk Review – A Big Thing in a Small Package
In Cloudpunk, the good and the bad are simply a package deal.
FIFA 21 Review – Skippable
FIFA 21 is a solid football game, but if you already have FIFA 20, there's no good reason to spend more money on this year's instalment.
RIDE 4 Review – Spinning Out In The Turn

Dynamic systems surrounded by little entertainment.

WWE 2K Battlegrounds Review – WWE Jam
A spin-off that shows the main franchise how it’s done.
NBA 2K21 Review – Losing a Step
NBA 2K21’s changes are more of steps sideways than forward.

Marvel’s Avengers Review – I Don’t Feel So Good
This is not the Avengers game we've all been waiting for.
Project CARS 3 Review – A Detour Worth Taking
Project Cars 3 strays wildly from the formula of the past. While that may alienate long time fans, the end result is a blast to play

No Straight Roads is an audio-visual treat wrapped up in a disappointingly shallow and repetitive game.
Captain Tsubasa: Rise of New Champions Review – Tiger Shot
The (insane) beautiful game.
PGA Tour 2K21 Review – Par for the Course
PGA 2K21 offers a solid experience on the green, but the production values feel dated compared to other games in the sports genre.

EA Sports UFC 4 isn't perfect. But the experience is a lot of fun both in and out of the arena.
Dying Light: Hellraid Review – Loot, Slash, Repeat
A dull, monotonous affair.
