Total Chaos brings enough to the table to be worth trying, despite minor issues that may affect your enjoyment depending on how much they matter to you. For the most part, though, it’s a challenging survival horror experience that’s well-designed and consistently focused on building fear and tension.- GamingBolt

A.I.L.A. is a fantastic looking game that makes a great first impression. However, spending a few hours with it is enough to expose some of its flaws, including strange puzzles and a lack of coherence between the storytelling and its many different horror experiences.- GamingBolt

You would think that a Telltale-style episodic adventure game wouldn't take off in this day and age, but Dispatch will prove you wrong (and offer an incredibly endearing story to boot).- GamingBolt

The worst campaign in Call of Duty history awaits, but even as an overall package, Activision's latest feels woefully by-the-numbers.- GamingBolt

Lumines gets the Tetris Effect treatment, and it's incredible. Is anyone really surprised? Don't worry - the gameplay is enough to sustain you through the trippy synesthesia and then some.- GamingBolt

Anno 117: Pax Romana is a fantastic new entry in a relatively niche genre that offers more accessible gameplay without sacrificing the depth that the city-building genre is known (and loved) for.- GamingBolt

A product of its time, revamped for the present, Syberia Remastered offers a sleeker look at the start of Kate Walker's adventures but loses a bit of the original's magic in the process.- GamingBolt
