Vampyr Second Opinion

HIGH The player’s choices have far-reaching consequences.

LOW Repetitive encounters and samey-looking environments.

WTF No fast travel and constantly respawning enemies?!


Blacktail Preview

The main character of Blacktail is a girl without a face. At least, the mask she wears to cover her face is utterly featureless, and the devs use this as a metaphor to lay out the decision-based morality tale at the core of the game.


Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Review

HIGH Dealing 5 million damage and completely healing my party on the verge of defeat.

LOW Nuking a boss before a cutscene where the same boss was wrecking my party.

WTF Can we not have a colony full of preteens in skintight suits please?


Elex II Review

The All-Sprinkles Sundae Gets Another Scoop

HIGH The reveal of what’s going on with the villains.

LOW Trying to fight anything but the lowest-level monsters with a sword.

WTF There are two different monsters, both called “Rippers”.


King’s Bounty 2 Review

Leading My Army Down The Drain

HIGH The end of the ‘assemble a skeleton’ quest.

LOW Realizing that I’d played so badly that the game had become unbeatable.

WTF The research-focused magician who’s just a step away from realizing she’s in a videogame.
