Dungeon crawling fans, especially on the Vita, don’t have a lot of options, so it’s good thing that Operation Abyss has it where it counts. It’s a budget title, and it shows and feels that way in many respects, but it also has deep RPG systems and a challenging level of difficulty for those that are tired of being coddled.- CGMagazine

Vampire: The Masquerade-Justice Is an interesting VR RPG. While its story isn’t one that grabbed me, the gameplay more than made up for it with its bloody skills and stealth-based mechanics.- CGMagazine

It sure would be nice if the gang could clean things up on the technical side as this season marches towards what we all have to assume will be an epic finale.- CGMagazine

I’m of mixed feelings about this game. I stuck with it for the long-haul without feeling like it was chore, but there’s a whole new-game-plus section to the game I’ve not tried, and I’m not sure I want to see how it changes things, even though the Steam Achievements spoil some intriguing ideas.- CGMagazine

It might sound strange to call an anniversary repackaging of a decades-old title a “must own” for a new system, but Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is just that well produced. If you own a Switch and love Street Fighter II, then you quite simply need to have this in your library.- CGMagazine

If you own or take care of a pet – or if you have kids who’d like a pet – do yourself a favor and play Copycat in one sitting. Make sure you have tissues ready.- CGMagazine

Ride is a middle ground between arcade fun, and simulation-style detail. Unfortunately, its confusion between the two sides makes it a little awkward to completely get behind.- CGMagazine

The game fills a surprisingly empty niche, and I appreciate it for coming to the table at all, but beyond that, I found myself somewhat underwhelmed.- CGMagazine

Berserk and the Band of the Hawk is amazing. It’s perfect for fans of series, it’s perfect for fans of the Warriors franchise, it’s perfect for gamers looking for a fun “mature” game that isn’t Call of Duty. It’s hard to imagine a manga that filled me with horror so many times, filling me with such joy as a game, but it does. Get this game, if only to open the door to a darker generation of Warriors games.- CGMagazine

Battlezone forgot to include a reason to keep playing with it, leaving players with a hollow and repetitive package from a developer capable of much more.- CGMagazine

Scorn is a visual atmospheric feast, but the focus on atmosphere left the title without solid gameplay and a narrative, making it as confusing as the conclusion.- CGMagazine

Monark is a game filled with great ideas and themes, and it manages to deliver on some of those in spades. Unfortunately, Monark is also its own worst enemy, and many of the gameplay elements simply get in the way of making it something truly exceptional. Still, if you can manage to get through the slog of repetitiveness, there’s a fascinating and thematically engaging story underneath.- CGMagazine

I was pleasantly surprised by Mario Party 10. I expected another disaster after learning of its similarities to 9, however they have added enough to make 10 rather enjoyable even through the Bowser love.- CGMagazine

Among the Sleep is a fun way to kill a couple of hours, and while it isn’t the deepest, most engaging puzzle game on the planet, playing from the perspective of a innocence-filled child is an innovative and interesting approach.- CGMagazine

While it may seem derivative at times, Star Overdrive is a solid game. It has a cool central mechanic and takes big swings in how it delivers its world and gameplay. While not everything lands, it’s an impressive effort from a team of 10 people — one I think gamers should check out.- CGMagazine

At the end of the day Wonder Boy Asha in Monster World is a no-frills remake that at times feels a little rough around the edges but ultimately does a well enough job in modernizing the 1994 classic.- CGMagazine

Gotham Knights tries hard to escape Batman's shadow and still delivers a compelling full-length brawler, but feels assembled by basic action-adventure with pieces that feel all too dated.- CGMagazine
