Injustice 2 (PC) Review

For Great Justice!

HIGH Absolute tons of content to indulge in.

LOW I’ve suffered from a few hard crashes, including system lock-ups.

WTF Batman using a blameless bar patron as a weapon isn’t canon, surely?


Sparc Review

Okay, Here’s An Easy One

HIGH Hitting an opponent with a four-wall carom.

LOW My inexplicable penchant for failing to catch my own ball.

WTF For the first time I’m considering ventilating the PSVR headset.


What’s Up With Warframe?

These days, thanks to patches, bug fixes and updates, I’m fairly convinced that the best time to play any game is at least year after release. In the case of Warframe from Digital Extremes, perhaps it’s more like… Four years?


On the Couch With Friends… Planet Of The Apes: Last Frontier

During this year’s PAX West, I was invited to play a preview build of Planet of the Apes: Last Frontier, currently being developed by London-based studio Imaginati. In a general sense, it follows the footsteps of recent story-centric games similar to what Telltale Studios has been delivering lately, but it shows several key differences which got my attention.


Nidhogg 2 Review

Rancid Muppet Battle

HIGH It’s still the same Nidhogg, which was great.

LOW The new weapons don’t feel balanced or enjoyable.

WTF Who in the world thought this new art style was a good idea?


Warhammer 40K: Dawn Of War III Preview

I had a chance to get a hold of Relic’s upcoming Dawn of War III during their recent closed multiplayer-only beta, and I found myself torn. While there were changes and improvements I enjoyed, there were also some design decisions I found extremely questionable. Keeping in mind that this is technically a beta even if the game does release in a few weeks, I’m going to list a few of the pros and cons I came across in the handful of matches I got to play.


For Honor: December 2016 Preview

Ubisoft was recently kind enough to invite GameCritics to take a look at their upcoming knights vs. vikings vs. ninjas brawler For Honor. I was able to get my hands on a few missions from the campaign, and also went a few rounds in the multiplayer arenas. This was my first time ever playing the game, and it clearly showed as For Honor requires more than button mashing to master.


Lost Castle Review

Only Pairs Need Apply

lostcastle01

HIGH Teaching that boss a thing or two about projectile weapons.

LOW Trying to fight literally any boss without a ranged weapon.

WTF Why is my alternate attack throwing a piece of bai- SHARK!
