Control | PS4 Review

This is the kind of game I hope for at this budget level. Remedy’s indie sensibilities are on display in every facet of the title. Remedy has never made a bad game, and with Control this holds true. It may sound a bit silly, but this is a gamer’s game, and you owe it to yourself to play it as soon as possible.

Heaven’s Vault | PC Review

I found Heaven’s Vault to be absolutely thrilling to play. The world building is spectacular, the music is mysterious and intriguing, the writing is extremely well done, and the dialogue flows incredibly naturally. This is a game that I immediately wanted to play again to see what happens if I made other choices, to perfect my translations, and to see the other endings.

Fantasy Strike | PS4 Review

There are many more things I could say about this game, but the bottom line is that it manages to be accessible and fun without sacrificing the deep strategy that makes the genre. The level of polish is very high with great attention to detail. This is a great place to start for those new to fighting game, but also has the potential to be a new favorite for even seasoned veterans.

Tour de France | Xbox One Review

I enjoy playing games of this nature, in categories that I have a passion for. While it may seem that I am putting this game down, it more or less is a game that is not for me because the true love for it is not there. If you are a fan of the Tour de France, I feel that this could be something that would be worth trying to conquer and win your own yellow jersey.
