July 28, 2017CGRreview, console, microsoft, Minecraft: Story Mode Season Two - Episode 1: Hero in Residence, MS, review, Telltale Games, XB1, xbox, Xbox One
No comments

While I have long been a fan of the Telltale video games, Minecraft: Story Mode was probably my least favorite of their full season offerings to date. It got off to a slow start with a property that seemed somewhat ill-fitting to a narrative-heavy game. However, to its credit,...

There are a lot of issues that people can be divided on: music, politics, flavors of jellybeans, and of course also ruling a country. Fallen Legion takes this principle a little further by dividing what could be considered a “split storyline” game between a Vita and PS4 version,...
Antihero - PC Review

“If what is currently available is any indication of the final product, Antihero is going to be good.” I’m happy to say that this statement from my preview stands. Having just released, Antihero simultaneously places you in the role of being a Master Thief and the leader...

There are so many Final Fantasy titles with their own followings that it is impossible to say which ones are the best and the worst, but Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age allows us to revisit one of the more popular titles in the series that has aged pretty well since its...

The definition of the word Yonder does the chosen title justice. Free to explore as you see fit, take control of your avatar and explore the far reaches of this forgotten kingdom as you search out exactly what really is “over there”.
Yonder is an important title because...

Welcome back to our Week in Review!
Richard started the week off with his thoughts on the latest Xanadu game Tokyo Xanadu. While those with a PS4 may want to wait until the revamp's release later this year, hardcore fans not wanting to wait or willing to do it again should...
After the End: The Harvest - PC Review

No comments

After the End: The Harvest travels into a territory that isn’t explored as much as it should be. Like Thorne, which we took a look at last year, AtE takes the RPG Maker for a spin on the more real-time adventuring side. Wielding swords and pistols to keep you alive, you will...

It is no secret that I love Elite: Dangerous; I have covered it quite extensively since we first got our hands on the preview in 2014 and ever since I have been utterly hooked. Now, after what seems to me is a lifetime of waiting (it wasn't), Elite: Dangerous is now available...
Pathfinder Adventures - PC Review

I have been on something of a Pathfinder kick these past few months, likely due to a desire for some good old fashioned Dungeons & Dragons-style tabletopping. On top of this itch, I managed to really get the dungeon master itch when reviewing May's Pathfinder Roleplaying...

Game making software is already one of the toughest categories to try and review, and RPG Maker Fes might be one of the most difficult yet. Those who are familiar with the PC RPG Maker programs are bound to find this title somewhat limited in features, and those new to the...

Death Squared - Switch Review

Death Squared tries to do a lot of different things, and for the most part it succeeds. It wants to be a single player game, but it wants to be a party game as well. Death Squared tries to be approachable to newcomers, but it wants to have puzzles that will bend even the...

Voodoo by Brain in the Box is a great example of a title that could be something amazing in time. Currently in Early Access, this open world sandbox that takes inspiration from Shadows of the Colossus. That is a loft goal, and Voodoo still has a long way to go in order to...
