The Medium Review

Far from the Silent Hill spiritual successor games media painted it as pre-release, sparked by Akira Yamaoka's involvement, The Medium is nonetheless an interesting fork in Bloober Team's portfolio. It's their most ambitious project, but ambition doesn't translate to quality. The Niwa Hotel The Medium's plot follows Marianne, a grieving medium who receives a call …

Quantum Break Review(8/10)

Founded in 1995, Max Payne carries Remedy Entertainment's legacy. In the fourteen years since Max Payne 2, only two console games have come from the studio--Alan Wake and Quantum Break. The latter was built up as one of Microsoft's major eighth generation exclusives, though it came and went with a whimper. Is Quantum Break worth …

Gang Beasts Review(8/10)

Entering steam early access in the summer of 2014, Gang Beasts' gestation period has been a little too long for comfort. December 12, 2017 signaled the end of that era, with the game leaving its early access surname in addition to launching on Playstation 4 and Playstation VR. Despite launch day woes, Gang Beasts positions itself as a …

School Girl Zombie Hunter Review(4.5/10)

"Lose the clothes, save your life!" With such eloquently stated writing on the back of the box, whatever could School Girl Zombie Hunter possibly be about? As a spin-off to the Onechanbara franchise, School Girl Zombie Hunter aims to titillate, but is it any good? The previous game, Onechanbara Z2: Chaos, while low effort in many ways, at the very least …

Yakuza 0 Review(9/10)

Eleven years after its western debut, 2017 has finally become the year the Yakuza franchise has gained a foothold outside of Japan. The series has seen a dedicated following, but it wasn't until January 2017's localized release of Yakuza 0 that the series finally struck gold in western markets. Part of Yakuza 0's success at …

Onechanbara Z2 Chaos Review(7/10)

Onechanbara Z2 Chaos is another game in the pantheon of erotic Japanese games that markets itself as this sexy experience you'll get off to, but like so many other games of this type, the fan service is relatively light. Cutscenes do show off the sexy cast of characters, but these scenes are so brief and …

Sorcery Saga: Curse of The Great Curry God Review(7/10)

Rogue-likes are intimidating. The traditional role playing rogue-like in the vein of Mystery Dungeon is one of the most underrepresented genres in contemporary gaming, making it difficult for newcomers to acquiesce to. Fortunately, Sorcery Saga: Curse of The Great Curry God fits into that mold, acting as the perfect entry point for the genre. Sorcery Saga begins …

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 Sisters Generation Review(5.5/10)

If Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 showed promise for a franchise that could grow past mediocrity and become something special, then Re;Birth 2 squanders that potential full force. It makes some interesting minor additions, but comes up short of its predecessor.  The first addition comes in the form of four player party battles as opposed to the …

Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Review(6.5/10)

The Hyperdimension series has become huge over the past few years, almost to the point of self referential parody. What began innocently enough as a single turn-based rpg grew into a franchise with multiple remakes and spin-offs ranging from an idol management simulator to a strategy rpg. One could argue the franchise's true beginning wasn't until …

Gone Home Review(8/10)

Three years on from release and Gone Home has one of the most infamous reputations in recent memory. Sure, it was recieved well by critics, but consumers weren't so kind to it. It's one of those games with a huge divide between the general critic and consumer consensus. Those that swear against Gone Home claim …
