Resident Evil Village
When I first saw the reveal for Resident Evil 7 and saw that they were moving to first person gameplay, I was skeptical. Once I played it, I thought the choice to move to first person was a great idea and it helped the game to be one of the scariest entries of the series. …

Evil West
Double A games that feel ripped straight from the 360/PS3 era of games have almost become a subgenre at this point. I am all for this return to the simple and straightforward action games that I grew up playing as a teenager. In Evil West, you are a gunslinger that kills vampires. That’s it but…

High On Life
I am a huge Rick and Morty fan so I was surprised and disappointed at how little I laughed during this game. The game certainly has its funny moments, the prologue in particular is hilarious but given how many jokes are thrown at you over the course of the playthrough, they don’t land nearly enough. …

Star Trek: Resurgence
I am a self proclaimed Trekkie as well as a fan of Telltale like narrative driven adventure games. This sounded like an ideal game for me however, it suffers from a distinct lack of polish and whenever it presents you with an actual gameplay mechanic, it is miserable. It’s disappointing that the gameplay is so…

Mortal Kombat 1 picks up the storyline in an alternate timeline with iconic characters that are younger. This way of alternating and exploring these iconic characters’…

South Of Midnight
South of Midnight is easily the most beautiful and unique game of the year. The stop motion like art style is truly amazing and I found myself stopping and just looking around at the environments and soaking in the vibes of this southern gothic world. Hazel is a likable protagonist that has a strong motivation…

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is an amazing game that exceeds expectations in every way. If you are a fan of the movies, of which there are only 3, this story is a great 4th entry in the franchise, with a narrative that matches the strengths of those 3 classic films. Troy Baker puts…

Silent Hill 2 Remake
I have never played the original Silent Hill 2 so I can only critique what I played in this remake of what I’ve heard is a classic. Having played this remake, I completely understand why the original is so beloved. Silent Hill 2 Remake has an incredible, emotional, mature, and disturbing narrative that is absolutely…

Doom: The Dark Ages
Are you ready to rip and tear? If so, I am happy to inform you that this entry in the series provides that same power fantasy that the other previous games in this reboot trilogy provides. This entry distinguishes itself from the others by making you feel like an unstoppable tank that is blasting around…
