The Final Station pays its respects with an appreciative concision. Tough stages and scarce resources lend heavily to its survival-horror status and though the narrative can feel flawed, it offers numerable nods to the zompocalypse genre with a subtle, reflective tone.

I liked ReCore's first part enough that I wish this score could be higher, but taken as a whole the game can't be qualified as “good”. Again, I like ReCore, but I can’t recommend it without tacking on a few asterisks.

When it's on top of its game, Redout is a nuanced, no-nonsense anti-gravity racing experience for your inner speed demon to gorge itself on. When it’s not on top of its game… well, it’s still pretty good.

No Man's Sky is a better technical demo than it is a full priced game. A randomly generated universe sounds like an impressive concept, but the underlying variety and most of the gameplay design could have used more depth.

With so many Dark Knight adventures in our movies, TV, comics, and video games, you have to do something special to stand out. In the first few episodes, it looked like Batman: The Telltale Series might actually bottle lightning and create something excellent.

I am Setsuna may not blow you away - it’s simple and understated, but there’s a lot of charm in that. This quiet JRPG is a solicitous throwback that makes its case through thoughtful moments instead of flashy cutscenes.
