Raytraced global illumination breaths a new life into an already gorgeous graphical showcase.

Black's impressive graphical and audial fidelity are wasted on frustrating gameplay and a barebone narrative.

Episode 2 is a marked improvement over its predecessor as well as an emotionally filled conclusion to the Bioshock series.

If anything, Burial at Sea is at least worth playing for the twist at the end.

If anything, the spectacles are certainly fun to watch.

A buggy, uneven mess of a videogame, elevated by its writing in the first half but quickly plummeting in overall quality in the second.

A graphical upgrade that doesn't bother to fully commit to its goal.

Raytracing is such a valuable addition that one could almost forgive all other neglected graphical elements.

Crysis Remastered is a disappointing graphical enhancement of a title whose only true good thing was its graphical prowess.

A regretful dissonance between carefully crafted action setpieces and tasteless repetitive live service ****.

A serviceable remaster that could have done a lot more to update this aging title from the 7th gen consoles.

Darksiders' blend of action and exploration fortunately outweights its woefully paced late game.

Horizon Zero Dawn is a game full of ridiculously contrasting qualities, but somehow managed to strongly delivered.

Coupled with a high-resolution uplift and a few touch-ups, it is truly incredible how well Mark of the Ninja holds up.

Red Dead Redemption 2's exceptionally realized world and superb narrative make this one of the best experiences of the generation.

The only thing that Rainbow Six: Lockdown can offer is an absolutely terrible time.

If nothing else, Revelations is a fun experiment for the franchise at non-linear storytelling.

Had it not relied too much on randomness, Sunbreak would have been one of the best expansions in recent years.

There is a rhythm in Rise's combat that makes every encounter a tango between the hunter and the hunted.

A few moments of brilliance could not save Cold Fear from being a test of patience.

Reloaded may not revolutionize anything, but it is definitely not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

Alien Shooter's simple yet relatively fun gameplay did not last very long, to both its advantage and disadvantage.

Titan Quest is a fun, albeit unremarkable, adventure to the world of ancient Greek gods.

The Room was so expertly paced that one could forgive many of its shortcomings.

Grand Theft Auto IV on PC is an endurance test filled with bugs and performance issues.

Age of Wonders III never really took off, instead just awkwardly hung around being serviceable at best.

Titanfall 2 delivered on almost every front and stood tall as one of the greatest games ever made.

I started Iceborne marveling at the sizeable amount of added content, but left feeling conflicted at best and bored at worst.

Dark Forces is a noble attempt at improving Doom's base formula, albeit with varying degrees of success.

Dishonored struggled to maintain the quality of its many components, but rarely did the game falter when it came to variety and player's expression.

Doom's spectacular single-player campaign felt like love at its purest form.

Blue Shift felt weirdly short and constrained especially after the excellent Opposing Force.

I still have no idea what kind of story the game was supposed to tell, but I know that shooting robots is fun.

Overall, I enjoyed Ryse for what it was: a barely serviceable gaming experience whose priority was just to look as good as possible.

Alan Wake knew when to tell its captivating narrative for maximum suspense.

The Old Blood exhibited noticeable constrains of an expansion, but nonetheless entertained greatly.

Too often do Doom's confusing level designs got in the way of its high-octane combat.

Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system added so much depth to an otherwise fairly decent game.

Red Faction is perfect if you look at it as a side adventure with a fun gimmick that is way too underused.

A captivating narrative experience built by brilliant storytelling and a strong acting performance.

The New Order's ability to make its characters so human and relatable within a comically crazy setting is why it is such a stunning game.

MAFIA is a game of extreme spectrum: narratively one of the best, however gameplay-wise one of the worst.

Injustice's surprisingly high quality story mode, not just among fighting game standard, is more than a good reason to try it out.

Black Mesa is absolutely the best way to relive the original Half-Life experience.

I would have liked Gears Tactics so much more had its unreasonably lengthy campaign been reduced by half.

Quake 4 is a perfectly competent shooter that somehow suffers from identity crisis.

Even if its repetitive gameplay becomes stale and less effective near the end, Outlast's insanely intense atmosphere can still make your heart pound fast.

A unique experience with more than enough interesting ideas and humor to keep itself fresh throughout.

Crysis 2 is a competent shooter that looks and feels like a typical summer blockbuster done right.

XIII is surprisingly great as a thriller, but unfortunately not so much as a videogame.
