The Technomancer is a midgling game. It tries to chew much more than it can chew, and while it’s certainly ambitious, it’s a jack of all trades that’s more whacked in all of them than anything else. As a side title of sorts to Mars: War Logs, developer Spider’s newest title takes place in a distant future…
As we move towards the conclusion of Hitman‘s first season — there are at least two more on the way, according to recent news from IO Interactive — one thing’s crystal clear: in his entire career, Agent 47 hasn’t been afraid to take any job, no matter the circumstances. Along the series, these have included…
Severed might just be the best implementation of cutting I’ve seen in a game so far. Then again, I have zero experience with this type of game in the mobile scene, but as it stands, Severed is impressive enough just for how far it takes the concept of slashing with its surprisingly deep gameplay, cooky visuals…
Batman’s seasonal adventure continues with episode two, titled Children of Arkham, a much more tightly directed and faster paced entry than the premiere. It’s also one of the shortest segments Telltale has ever put out. Regardless, it manages to pack a generous portion of character development and drama in its short run, shaking the very foundations…
There’s no shaking the feeling that Song of the Deep — although a gorgeous game in its own right, with an unique delivery to an old Irish folk tale — reaches too far and doesn’t manage to grasp the greatness of the games it borrows so much from. As with many games nowadays, Insomniac’s Song…
Ever since checking out Headlander at E3, I’ve been on the lookout for its official release. At the show, Double Fine’s quirky take on the Metroid formula proved to be a fun concept in demo form. After finishing the full game, it’s safe to say that even with its share of problems, Headlander isn’t merely a clone…
There’s something to playing Monster Hunter that no other game provides. I’ve been hunting since Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, and I still haven’t been able to pin just what exactly makes the series so special. Maybe it’s the amount of things you get to do at any given time, with ample opportunities to get…
If it weren’t for a host of bugs and technical hurdles, Telltale’s newest series based on iconic DC Comics hero Batman would be unequivocally recommendable. Unfortunately, severe port issues keep back an otherwise cool take of the Caped Crusader. When the word got out that Telltale would be working on Batman next, it seemed like a…
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was already a fantastic game last year, and if you needed any more reasons to jump back to it in 2016, look no further than Blood and Wine, its last piece of downloadable content. Just like Heart of Stone, Blood and Wine is a contained story that takes place in the…
To say that Abzu from Giant Squid has much in common with Thatgamecompany’s Journey would be an understatement. Abzu feels like an extension of the groundwork laid by Journey, using much of the same storytelling techniques and even some of the same themes in such a way that make Abzu feel like a spiritual successor….
