Back 4 Blood Review - Bloody Brilliant or Dead on Arrival?

B4B has so much potential and may end up being a near-perfect game. For the time being, it’s a solid bit of zombie slaying fun that’s a cut above some of the other undead shooting gallery games out there.

Deathloop Review - Is Time on Arkane’s Side?

Deathloop Review - Is Time on Arkane’s Side?

Deathloop is awash in retro 60’s style but at the cost of real substance. Clunky gunplay and only a handful of special abilities hold what could have been a great game back. The time travel plot had promise but untimely goes unrealized.

Unbound Worlds Apart Review: Platforming Not For the Impatient

Unbound has familiar touchstones of other modern side-scrolling platformers: Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Limbo, Inside, Cuphead, take your pick. It’s almost a formula by now. Throw a nice color pallet, a mystical world, and boom you’ve got a game.
