Kena: Bridge of Spirits feels right at home on a Nintendo console, and its size and scope make it a pretty decent travel companion—well-suited to easy pick-up-and-play. If you missed it the first time around and are willing to accept a small degree of graphical sacrifice, then this game is definitely worth your time.

Farming Simulator 18 actually improves on its console predecessors by cutting the fat.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is comfort food. It retains the multiplayer dungeon crawling and love of the source material that made the two previous titles enjoyable, but it also elevates the action just enough to make it better and more entertaining than what came before. Not all of it works as well as it should, yet it’s vision isn’t compromised by the missteps it makes. You’re going to have a good time when you play Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. And sometimes, that’s all you really need.

The Long Journey Home is an interesting exploration game that succeeds in a lot of ways, but never really seems to shine.

Lost Words: Beyond the Page makes a strong case for the argument that video games can be considered art.

Quotation forthcoming.

Chivalry 2 is a great game if you know what you’re getting into. It's not the next big hit, but boy is it fun when you need to get out some frustration and have a good laugh.

Dragon Quest Heroes feels like a simple distraction, but it actually has quite a bit of depth.

While not perfect and sorely lacking playable female characters, RetroMania Wrestling is an enjoyable, feature-packed love-letter to the late 80’s and early 90’s era of wrestling videogames and the WWF in general.

Overall, 7th Guest VR Feels like the next step with VR. Being able to display some awe-inspiring environmental work and incredible mechanics, it has become my new game to show new to VR folks. [Meta Quest 3]

Held back only by a somewhat poorly optimized release, BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma Extend is a fun, deep fighter with lots of fun to be had for any type of player.

Zombie Army 4 reminds me of a PS2 game in the best possible way. When games like this were abundant and made for epic weekend rentals. If you’re looking for a great co-op zombie shooter to play until Valve releases Left 4 Dead 3 in a thousand years, I would definitely recommend this.

Despite the generic setting, and an over-abundance of Ubisoft-style menus, levels, and statistics, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands is a fun, tactical, engaging shooter with plenty of depth and good AI. The freedom and nature of the open-world mission approach, while familiar to Far Cry and Phantom Pain fans, allows for some truly creative tactical experiences and enjoyable gameplay moments. Stable matchmaking and the random nature of human players make the co-op a blast as well.

It isn’t an overstatement to say that the attention paid to diversifying the look and tactical possibilities of the levels is key to what makes XCOM 2 work.

Claybook provides a soothing sandbox experience that is only hampered by the lack of variety in premade levels currently on offer by the community.
