Assassin’s Creed Origins Review

Gary Smith

Assassin’s Creed first released in 2007, and two years later saw its first sequel. After that, fans of the franchise got a new entry every year from 2009 to 2015 with the release of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. With a technically flawed release in 2014 with Unity, many fans began to feel burned out on the series. Thus, 2016 came and went without any major Assassin’s Creed game releasing. In October 2017, ten years after the release of the first game, Assassin’s Creed Origins released and promised…

Destiny 2 Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

Destiny 2 has been out for over a month, and I feel like it's the time for me to finally get this full review out even if it is "late" (although the PC version doesn't release for another week). I came into Destiny 2 as a hardcore, dedicated Destiny player with over 2,500 hours logged in the first game. It's because of my love of the game, or franchise, that this review will be the longest one we have ever published and will tackle the game from different perspectives and dive deep into…

Collective Minds StrikePack FPS Dominator Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

I play A LOT of Destiny and I watch A LOT of Destiny being played. One thing you'll quickly notice with most of the good streamers is that they use Scuf controllers, and thus have a slight advantage because paddles allow you to do things like jump while aiming. For those of us who can't claw, paddles just make things easier. Unfortunately, the elite and Scuf controllers are relatively expensive for what they are, and not something everyone is going to want to jump on just for the sake of…

Spellspire Review

Gary Smith

Finnish based developers 10tons Ltd. are back again with their latest game on console, Spellspire. Like practically every 10tons game, Spellspire offers up fun when you just have a little bit of time to game and can't really get into a 45 minute mission in a "bigger game." That's one thing I love about games made by 10tons, you can spend a lot of time playing them but have it be spread out over short chunks of time. Slow and steady progress without spending time trying to rush to get to a save…

Seasons After Fall Review

Gary Smith2 Comments

Seasons After Fall is a 2D platforming puzzle game for PS4, Xbox One, and PC from French developer Swing Swing Submarine and published by Focus Home Interactive. In it, you play a spirit that possesses a wild fox and set off on an adventure through a forest. You have the power to manipulate the four seasons, changing them on the fly to complete puzzles. If nothing else, Seasons After Fall is an absolutely beautiful game graphically speaking with its hand-painted forest setting that changes on…

Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 Review

Gary Smith4 Comments

CI Games released their first Sniper Ghost Warrior game back in 2010 and followed it up with a sequel in 2013. I didn't play the first one, but I did the second one. It wasn't particularly good. Now some four years later, and after a few delays, CI Games has released the third entry into the Sniper Ghost Warrior franchise and the good news is that it's certainly better than its predecessor. I applaud CI Games for taking a step and making an effort to make this a "full AAA production." You always…

Valhalla Hills: Definitive Edition Review

Valhalla Hills is strategy/city-building game developed by Funatics that first released on Steam Early Access back in August 2015. On April 25, 2017 the game came to PS4 and Xbox One in the form of Valhalla Hills: Definitive Edition, which includes the based game and the two DLC packs (Sand of the Damned and Fire Mountains) plus an exclusive map type called The Dwarf Cave. In Valhalla Hills you play as the Norse god Leko, the youngest son of Odin. Odin has exiled you, banished you down to Midgar…

R.B.I. Baseball ’17 Review

Gary Smith

I've reviewed each of the R.B.I. games since MLB brought the series back in 2014. At this point, I'm not sure a review is necessary anymore. I feel like I should just copy and paste what I wrote last year, because it's the same game with an updated roster. There's no new modes and no new ways to play. I also can't tell where any of the issues were fixed, and the game certainly doesn't look any better. In fact, the only difference here is that this year's game doesn't have online multiplayer…

Vikings – Wolves of Midgard Review

Gary Smith

Vikings: Wolves of Midgard is an action-RPG developed by Games Farm, a studio from Slovak Republic best known for the Air Conflict series as well as the ARPG Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms. Vikings has drawn a lot of early comparisons to Diablo, and for good reason. Of course Diablo isn't the only game in this particular genre, but it is the biggest name on the block. Here we have that established formula set in some classic Norse mythology. "Diablo with Vikings" is how some have described it. Now…

Stardew Valley Review

Gary Smith

Stardew Valley hits all the right notes and checks all the right boxes as a feature rich farming based RPG. If it can be done better, I'd certainly like to see it, but no one person could make a better game for this genre than Eric Barone has done. I'd say it's the peak, the Harvest Moon game many of us always wanted.

Yakuza 0 Review

Gary Smith

Yakuza 0 is a niche game designed for a Japanese audience first, it's extremely story heavy, and it does have some outdated design mechanics/elements and even graphics (it kinda feels like a remastered PS2 game). If you can get into it though, you're likely to find a very engrossing experience with a lot to offer. If you're like me though, you're probably going to have a hard time getting into it as a newcomer to the series.

Neverwinter Review

Gary Smith

Neverwinter is a free-to-play MMORPG that released on PS4 over a month ago, but has been available on PC for three years and Xbox One for a over a year. This review is based on the PS4 version, and it's completely free in that you don't even need PlayStation Plus to play the game. Since its release, I've put A LOT of time into the game. I wouldn't do that if I didn't enjoy it. And while it is a free-to-play game, it no longer is to me. I've put $60 into the game, so it's basically a brand new…

R.B.I. Baseball ’16 Review

Gary Smith

It's kinda hard to review R.B.I. Baseball '16, the third entry in the series resurrected by MLB Advanced Media back in 2014. And the reason it's hard is because I've already reviewed it, last year. In fact, I've reviewed both 2014 and 2015. The 2014 version was a solid foundation of old school video game baseball. The 2015 version made some significant upgrades to add to that already solid foundation. This year's game feels exactly like last year's game. And to be honest, that's okay with me…

Rainbow Moon (PS4) Review

Gary Smith

SideQuest Studios' wonderful RPG Rainbow Moon released on PS4 a couple of weeks ago. I originally reviewed this game back in 2012 when it released for PS3. As such, I'm reposting that review for the PS4 version. This is release is just Rainbow Moon on PS4. There's not much different, it's the same game. Having said that, it was the perfect time to re-release the game on PS4. The sequel, Rainbow Skies, is still scheduled to release on PS4 this year, and Rainbow Moon is a fairly sizeable game. So…

Just Cause Review

Hello everyone and welcome back to yet another way past due edition of The Backlog. As usual, the real world continues to get in the way of things I'd rather be doing, but such is life for most of us. So we're here with the 29th installment of The Backlog, and we're going to be true to the name here. We're going to go back to a game that came out over nine years ago, Just Cause. Being that this game is more on the ancient side, gaming wise that is, we are going to keep things shorter than…

Review: Rise of The Tomb Raider

Eric W.2 Comments

The Tomb Raider reboot of 2013 was my dark horse game of the year, as it was for many other people. It was impressive and it struck a nice balance on gameplay and challenges that drew in many new fans to the series, including myself. I had always respected this series and I had tried out several of the earlier games, but the twitch gameplay and some other aspects were extremely frustrating. Now comes the highly anticipated sequel to the reboot and I can guarantee you this is a game that people…

It’s been a long time in coming… too long… but at last a new Fallout game is upon us and it’s very good. The good news is: A review like this is a mere formality since many of us have already broken the 100 hour figure on this. What more need be said, right?
