Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Review

Otter Lee — Wed, 07 Jun 2017 01:38:22 +0000

ire Emblem Echoes is a gorgeous entry in the series with possibly the best presentation of any Fire Emblem game to date. Between the beautiful, watercolor storybook animations and the superb voice acting, the game reads like an interactive visual novel. Despite drastically simplified gameplay, the magic and weapons systems give players plenty to mull …

Prey Blurs the Line Between Inspiration and Imitation

Sean Glass — Sun, 14 May 2017 17:43:30 +0000

With Arkane Studios’s reputation for top-notch world building, it’s a shame to find that in 2017’s Prey, they merely chose to inhabit something familiar. Prey draws notable inspiration from a number of other titles such as Bioshock, Deus Ex, and its sister-series, Dishonored. While inspiration can be the fuel for innovation, Arkane’s take on dystopia …

Rain World amps up the difficulty, but not in a good way.

Nicholas Santiago — Mon, 10 Apr 2017 01:00:11 +0000

A depressing post-apocalyptic environment, predators around every corner, food scarcity and everything is out to kill you, even the weather. This is Rain World, a 2D single player Survival Puzzle Platformer with a much heavier emphasis on survival than anything else and a very pleasant soundtrack that makes you feel alone in this world. Made …

Pathfinder Log #1: A Brave New World

Gabby Sullivan — Thu, 30 Mar 2017 14:23:51 +0000

As a late-to-the-party Mass Effect fan, I thankfully didn’t have too long of a wait between defeating the Reapers as Commander Shepard and beginning my new adventure in the Andromeda Galaxy as Gabby Ryder. With all of the iffy feedback the game has received since its release, I wanted to document my time as a Pathfinder instead …

For Honor, Glory and Sweet Sweet Executions

Gabby Sullivan — Wed, 01 Mar 2017 23:21:18 +0000

For Honor, Ubisoft’s newest sword-fighting, axe-swinging, shield-blocking title has a lot to offer players with the skills and patience to master their heroes. Campaign By now you may have heard that For Honor’s campaign mode isn’t exactly a narrative masterpiece, but despite being a usually story-oriented gamer, I was surprised that I didn’t mind as …
