Bravely Default II
A review for GameCrate2021-03-01
Bravely Default 2 brings us back to an older era of simpler RPGs with deep systems and shallow stories. If that sounds like a feature, not a bug, then this is the RPG for you.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection
A review for GameCrate2021-02-24
Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is an attempt to make an old-school absurdly difficult quarter muncher a game worth playing in the modern era, and it delightfully succeeds.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Little Nightmares II
A review for GameCrate2021-02-09
Little Nightmares II is just a worse game than the original. Everything they added to the system feels clunky at best and unfair at worst. It’s a shame because this same story, with its same environments, same levels, same enemies, and same music and sound would have been infinitely better if they kept the mechanics from the original.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Destruction AllStars
A review for GameCrate2021-02-03
Destruction AllStars may not be a killer app that sells you on a PS5, but anyone who owns a PS5 will be happy to add it to their library. It is definitely one of the best perks of owning a PS5 yet.Read entire review on GameCrate -
The Medium
A review for GameCrate2021-01-28
The Medium is at its best when you are exploring its remarkable, beautiful worlds, or enjoying the excellent composition and art direction. Unfortunately, the gameplay does not meet that high mark, and often detracts from what is otherwise a stellar aesthetic experience.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Cyber Shadow
A review for GameCrate2021-01-27
Cyber Shadow packs a lot of quality into a small six-hour package. If you love indie platformers and have a soft spot in your heart for games like Ninja Gaiden and Shatterhand then you won’t want to pass this one up.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Hitman 3
A review for GameCrate2021-01-19
Hitman 3 was a fun game, but I definitely put it down quicker than I did Hitman 1 or 2. If you wanted more of the same it gives you that on top of being a really convenient platform for the content of the previous games, but that doesn’t change the fact that this feels much more like an expansion pack than a new entry in the franchise.Read entire review on GameCrate -
The Pathless
A review for GameCrate2020-12-23
The Pathless is a gorgeous, exhilarating and frenetic game which unfortunately often stumbles in its own tracks.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Cyberpunk 2077
A review for GameCrate2020-12-14
I want to recognize how ambitious and fun this game is while simultaneously warning people about how incomplete and sloppy it is. Whether or not this is a worthwhile purchase will be entirely up to whether or not you want to brave the bugs, glitches, and general half-baked feel in order to get to the core roleplaying game underneath.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Twin Mirror
A review for GameCrate2020-12-07
Twin Mirror is the inferior Dontnod offering of 2020, and probably one of their most disappointing games yet. It is mediocre in every sense, failing to live up to the potential of its concept and the reputation of its developer.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
A review for GameCrate2020-11-23
This is not BOTW2, but it’s still a very fun game that is worth your time. It’s fanfiction with an awesome hybrid action-RPG with BOTW mechanics attached. Just don’t get too wrapped up in the non-canon Ganon and you’ll be fine.Read entire review on GameCrate -
The Pathless
A review for GameCrate2020-11-20
The Pathless is as majestic as it is haunting. It’s ruminative and captivating. Above all, it’s one of the most incredible meditative adventures ever created.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Bugsnax
A review for GameCrate2020-11-19
Bugsnax is a truly weird game that is worth trying just for the concept. As the theme song goes “Everyone’s talkin' bout Bugsnax.” Well not everyone, but maybe they should be.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
A review for GameCrate2020-11-13
Miles Morales’ biggest problem is by far its length which will turn some people off. But honestly, there’s room for more short form experiences, even as major console release titles. Miles Morales doesn’t waste any time with padding and instead keeps pushing high quality Spider-Man gameplay at you, which in my opinion is a strength, and not a weakness.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Fuser
A review for GameCrate2020-11-11
Fuser is a great little program that serves as an introduction to the art of DJing. It’s just not much of a game. So think about this as purchasing entry-level DJ software, and as entry-level DJ software, it’s pretty good. It’s never going to be as powerful as dedicated DJ software, but if you just want to have a bit of a DJ fantasy then Fuser will give you just that.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Watch Dogs: Legion
A review for GameCrate2020-11-02
Watch Dogs: Legion is an interesting game with an innovative system and a compelling story. It’s not a blockbuster hit and it probably won’t make the running for GOTY this year, but its experimental systems and socially resonant plot make it worth checking out.Read entire review on GameCrate -
Cloudpunk
A review for GameCrate2020-10-23
Cloudpunk succeeds in delivering a worthwhile open-world adventure. The story isn’t perfect, but the characters are extremely well-written. The audiovisual design also drives the game forward, presenting a world that’s dark, futuristic, and mysterious. You might struggle with the camera and controls at times, but don’t let that detract from what is an otherwise awesome character-driven game.Read entire review on GameCrate -
9 Monkeys of Shaolin
A review for GameCrate2020-10-17
9 Monkeys of Shaolin is the type of game you pick up and play over the course of a weekend or after a long day at work. The martial arts movie style works well and wears its grindhouse love on its sleeve. Combat is entertaining and challenging, and like a proper beat ‘em up, you can have a friend join you for the ride. It’s over after about five hours, but in that time you’re treated to a really good time.Read entire review on GameCrate
