Control Resonant Review - Stellar Sequel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Metal Gear Solid remains, in my mind, the greatest video game series ever created. Since the late 90s, I’ve yet to find something that captures me quite like Metal Gear. As such, naturally, that’s the standard I measure a lot of stuff against. So when I say Remedy Entertainment is the one studio that comes closest to matching Hideo Kojima and his team when it comes to storytelling, I mean that as a serious compliment. And Control Resonant is another shining example of why I think Remedy stands a
EA Sports NHL 27 Review - All Polish, Little Progress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ve been reviewing the NHL franchise for close to ten years now. I think that’s plenty of time to figure out the difference between genuine iteration and a slick PR campaign. Every September, I just want one thing: clear proof that twelve months of dev time have improved the series in a meaningful way. NHL 27 gives you that in a couple of isolated spots, but it falters almost every other step of the way. Having spent a full week running it through its paces, I’ve already moved on to waiting for
Hell Let Loose: Vietnam Review - Undercooked Warfare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Battlefield Vietnam is the best Battlefield ever, and you can’t tell me otherwise. Maybe it was just a matter of being in the right place at the right time, but BV was so successful because it did everything in its power to distinguish itself from other shooters. It wasn’t a world war. It felt like Vietnam: gritty violence the paint, and Jefferson Airplane the canvas. So when Expression Games and Team17 announced that Hell Let Loose was headed there next, I about passed out from excitement. If t
EA Sports Madden NFL 27 Review - Positive Momentum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s August, and you know what that means. Madden 27 has landed. Naturally, that also means Madden 27 is a mixed bag. Roster updates and a fresh coat of paint are nice, sure. But what’ll make or break this year’s entry for most is the slew of upgrades to Franchise mode. First things first: this is the best-looking football game EA has ever shipped. Player faces, for the most part, are convincing recreations of their real-life counterparts. Body types finally vary the way NFL rosters do. Watching
ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs Review - Tinkerer's Heaven (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I love to tinker with electronics in my spare time; it’s just that I often don’t have the means to tear apart the stuff I’d really like to customize. The answer? ReStory: Chill Electronics Repairs. Developer Mandragora successfully blends a relaxing atmosphere with a fun gameplay loop all centered around a small repair shop in mid-2000s Tokyo. I came in braced for a breezy time-waster. Instead, I found one of the strongest simulation games I’ve played this year. ReStory’s day-to-day operations s
