Kingdoms of Amalur Re-Reckoning Review

Gary Smith

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning originally released all the way back in February 2012 on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. We won't get into the history of the development of the game and the quick demise of developers 38 Studios and Big Huge Games, because none of that matters in the present. Reckoning was to be the introduction to the Kingdoms of Amalur, which would have been a grand MMO. What we got with Reckoning is a single player RPG, although one that in small ways feels like an MMO world…

Marvel’s Avengers Review

Gary Smith

Marvel's Avengers has been out for a week now, for those of us who ordered the version with 72 hours of early access anyway, and in that week I've gotten a couple of characters of the level cap of 50 and into the power soft cap of 130. I've done everything there is to do in Avengers outside of the AIM Secret Lab raid, so I'm now in a confident spot to write this review. Before we dive into it though, let's establish where I'm coming from here. I don't read comics, and never have. My familiarity…

Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Review

Gary Smith1 Comment

It's been almost a month since Fall Guys took the world by storm. Since its release on August 3rd, the game has quickly become of the most popular (both played and watched) games on the planet and also is the most downloaded game in PlayStation Plus history. While it's been free on PS Plus, it has still managed to sell over seven million copies on Steam at an MSRP of $19.99. It's been an amazing success story, has become a favorite of many, and shows absolutely no signs of slowing down anytime…

Darksiders Genesis Review

Gary Smith

Darksiders Genesis has arrived on consoles (PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch) after releasing late last year for PC and Google Stadia. Budget priced at $39.99, Genesis brings a lot of value to the table in terms of a fun gameplay loop and replayability. Genesis is a spin-off of the main Darksiders games, and in this case serves as a prequel taking place before the three numbered games. The perspective has shifted to an isometric one akin to Diablo, the developer is Airship Syndicate as opposed…

Borderlands 3 Review

Gary Smith

It’s been about three weeks since Borderlands 3 released, and thus far I’ve put in around 54 hours into the game on one character. Within the first week, I had completed the main campaign twice; once on normal and once again on True Vault Hunter Mode. The current inability to skip cutscenes means I’m in no rush to play through it again to experience the other three characters (I’ve played FL4K mostly, with a little bit of Zane as a second character). I can play through Mayhem 3 solo with little…

Sniper Elite V2 Remastered Review

Gary Smith

Sniper Elite V2 first released way back in May 2012 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Two more mainline additions and seven years later, Sniper Elite V2 has been remastered for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Is the trip back to 1945 Berlin and the final days of World War II worth it? The short answer is, it depends. If you never played Sniper Elite V2, then the Remastered is worth picking up if you enjoy the series. If you have played V2 on one of its original platforms, then you can probably…

Anthem Review

Gary Smith

It's hard to believe it's only been a month since BioWare and EA released the heavily hyped Anthem on PC, Xbox One and PS4. It's a game that had a lot of fanfare behind it and was poised to be the next big thing from BioWare. It's an open-world looter shooter stepping in to compete against the likes of Destiny, The Division 2, and Warframe. It was to be the "cinematic" looter shooter with a story. Fast paced gameplay, unique builds that would matter, and loot you'd want to chase... these were…

Book of Demons Review

Gary Smith

Book of Demons is the first installment of developer Thing Trunk's series Return 2 Games, which is creating a "Paperverse" of games inspired by the "early golden days" of PC gaming. Return 2 Games is planned to be made up of seven Books where the game world is a pop-up book, paper style. Book of Demons kickstarts the series with a tribute to and parody of a true PC gaming classic, Diablo. Like Diablo, Book of Demons is a hack and slash ARPG and shares a similar theme. Here, you'll make your way…

Chronus Arc Review

Gary Smith

Chronus Arc is an old-school style JRPG from Hit-Point and KEMCO that first released on mobile devices all the way back in 2013. In 2015, it came to Nintendo's 3DS, and now here towards the end of 2018 KEMCO has brought it to Xbox One, PS4 and PS Vita, with the game also coming to PC and Nintendo Switch this year as well. So it'll be on everything by the end of the year. Chronus Arc is all about the nostalgia card. It looks like a Super Nintendo era Final Fantasy game, albeit one spruced up with…

Call of Cthulhu Review

Gary Smith

Wayback in February 1928, the pulp magazine Weird Tales featured a short story from H.P. Lovecraft titled "The Call of Cthulhu." In the 90 years since then, Cthulhu has been expanded on and the Cthulhu Mythos have transitioned to essentially every form of entertainment. In 1981, Chaosium released the first edition of the Call of Cthulhu pen-and-paper RPG. Seven editions later and with multiple scenarios and supplements, it remains a popular choice for fans of tabletop RPG's. Cyanide Studios'…

Destiny 2 Forsaken Review

Gary Smith

It has been over one and a half months since Destiny 2's first big expansion, Forsaken, released. I don't even want to guess about how much time I've put into the game during this time, but suffice to say it has been A LOT. I've gotten two of my characters to 600 (and my third is very close), I've completed the raid a couple of times, and I've solo'd the Shattered Throne dungeon. I've seen all that Forsaken has to offer, including the first post-Forsaken in-game event, Festival of the Lost. It's…

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

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…

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…

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

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…

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

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.
