Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Reviewing one year after release
When Kingdom Come was first released, I read many warnings to avoid the game until bugs were fixed. So bear in mind, my review is for the completed end product, and an experience lightened with a mod that allowed for unl... Read Full Review

Ashen
A solid Dark Souls Clone
Ashen isn't a revolutionary game in that it's essentially a Dark Soul clones. But goodness, it is a -good- Dark Souls clone.It follows the same try-try-try again, gameplay style that the Souls Franchise offers. Except, I... Read Full Review

Persona 5
Impressed a hard-to-impress Persona fan
When Persona 4 was released, I was extremely excited to play. Persona 3 was one of my favorite games of all time, and I was looking forward to another emotionally deep, riveting story with a cast of relatable characters.... Read Full Review

Two Point Hospital
Solid financial simulator
TPH kind of hits a sweet spot. It isn't revolutionary, nor is it all that deep, but it's functional and involved enough that you can get addicted to it. Creating a functional, successful hospital involves kind of a learn... Read Full Review

Far Cry 5
solid shooter, but not particularly inspired
FC5, the 5th game in the Far Cry franchise, is a solid shooter that delivers on most of its promises. The system in which you acquire quests is more 'organic', which was a refreshing and effective change from the usual h... Read Full Review

Sonic Forces
A few charming points keep it from being terrible
Sonic Forces is not a good game. When you boil it down, it's pretty much just a semi-mediocre platformer. A few things save it, however, from being a 'bad' game.The level design is iffy, the gameplay isn't consistent, an... Read Full Review

Definitely not for everyone
The bottom line is that Divinity Original Sin 2 is heaven-on-earth for D&D fans and/or gamers that love experiences that involves zero hand-holding and an extremely 'shades of grey' narrative and world. If that's you... Read Full Review

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus
Good story; generally average shooter
The long story short is that The New Colossus is an average shooter (gameplay wise), with an above average story and characters. The ambiance of the setting is very well crafted and the characters/plot are rather well-wr... Read Full Review

Middle-earth: Shadow of War
More options but worse than its predecessor
When I first saw reviews that claimed that Shadow of War was worse than Shadow of Mordor, most reasons were attributed to its microtransaction end-game and overall feeling of sloppiness. I found this to be quite strange ... Read Full Review

Watch Dogs 2
Solid sequel that improves over the original
When I first started WD2, it seemed like a stepback. The RC car was annoying and the tone was too lax. After finishing the entire game, however, I can say with confidence that this was a great improvement over the origin... Read Full Review

Dishonored 2
Solid creative fun
Dishonored 2 is a solid fun game that stays true to the roots of what made Dishonored 1 a great experience. The levels design, puzzles, graphics, and power usage allows almost infinite replayability and the New Game plus... Read Full Review

NieR: Automata
Very good -when it works-, which isn't often..
Nier is a solid game, with fluid combat, a great story, and interesting game mechanics/characters. It also, however, has a terrible PC port that is pretty much unplayable.There are unofficial patches, "work-arounds", and... Read Full Review

Far Cry Primal
Not bad, but not memorable either
FC: Primal isn't a bad game; it builds off the solid foundation of combat from the Far Cry series. The issue, however, is that it feels kind of like a lesser version of its sister-games. In general, FC3 stands as probab... Read Full Review

Batman: Arkham Knight
Great once it came together
I wasn't around for the release of this game, but from what I heard, it was a mess. Broken frame rates, crashes, terrible performance, and even saves getting deleted. For all who suffered through that, I can only imagine... Read Full Review

Sid Meier's Civilization VI
A beefed up version of Civ 5
I'm by no means an expert or seasoned veteran of city building games. I enjoy them but play them somewhat superficially as I'm a terrible military strategist. I did enjoy Civ 5, and Civ 6 feels like more of the same, for... Read Full Review

Great brainless fun
Subjectively, I really wanted to give this game a 9. But I knew I couldn't because despite how much fun I had playing this awesome game, there are some pitfalls that are hard to overlook.But it didn't bother me at all. S...

DOOM
A unique beast
Doom is a unique game in that I'm assigning it a 9, even though it is 'technically' simple in design. The story isn't ground breaking, characters are meh, and it's pretty much just go to room A and kill everyone, then go... Read Full Review

Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut
Its weaknesses are justified through its strengths
Deus Ex HR is an interesting game in that it falls into my 'messy 9' rating score. That is, it belongs 'in 9' in my book, but that it is a fundamentally '8' game.The reason why is because of the somewhat shoddy presentat... Read Full Review

Dead Island: Riptide
A different type of game than Dying Light
Dead Island has always been different than Dying Light in nature, in that Dying Light focuses a lot more on mobility. This is a jab in multiple ways because when I first started playing Dead Island, most of the experienc... Read Full Review

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Something special is definitely here
I had to actually struggle with assigning Dragon's Dogma an 8 or a 9. That alone is a testament to how great the game is, because I don't give 9s too often.Ultimately, what made me keep it an 8 is the overall lack of po... Read Full Review

Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Hmm...I liked it?
This game seems to be getting a lot of hate. I'm not exactly sure why, but then again, I never really fell into the 'typical' Assassins Creed crowd. Black Flag was a really impressive game, but I really didn't enjoy the ... Read Full Review

XCOM 2

Fallout 4

I started Fallout 4 incredibly underwhelmed. And i mean...-incredibly-. The game made an extremely strange decision of starting out the game with the most boring faction/characters of the entire story-line. Thankfully, I... Read Full Review

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
One of, if not THE, best game I've ever played
In actuality, this game is rated 9.5, but Gamespot got rid of the .5 system. I bumped it up to 10 because a 9 does not do this game justice.Honestly, I already knew Witcher 3 was going to be a great game. What I didn't k... Read Full Review

Hatred
I shouldn't even touch this with a 10ft pole

Grand Theft Auto V

Far Cry 4
Pretty good, but not perfect

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor

Shadow of Mordor was a game that I entered in with a 'bargain bin' mentality. I wasn't really expecting anything that fantastic; more so, I was driven primarily by responses that the game was getting from others. I did l... Read Full Review
