Fenix Furia is a test of patience and fortitude. It is hard not to recommend for players who have perseverance. The pinpoint controls and addictive level design keep me coming back for more. For those that have exhausted Super Meat Boy, this is the perfect compliment.

TurnOn is a simple game, which is both a blessing and a detriment. The frustrating parts really drag down the overall experience, and the core game itself just isn’t that interesting. Sometimes simplicity is not the answer.

If we never get to step foot in Geralt’s shoes again, I’m fine with that. The time spent in his boots, the adventures had, the memories created, will stay with me forever. I’d like to imagine after the battles of Witcher 3, Geralt retires to his winery, sipping from his cup and telling stories to companions that travel and pass by.

While it was expected that Revelator would retain the fantastic visuals and incredibly deep and satisfying combat engine, Little touches like F.A.Q. bubbles popping up in the pause menu to the insanely comprehensive combo/mission modes which do much more than teach simple combos by breaking down each and every mechanic it has to offer along with potent tactics, Revelator feels like a title that’s been polished to an absolute gleam.

It’s one of the best games released this year, and while not totally surprising, at the same time it is. All this praise and I’m mostly referring to the single player main story, but with its bevy of other cool unlockable modes and the multiplayer party like games available, there is so much content here, it’s a great price for an absolutely jam packed 3DS cartridge.

This being the first Atelier title on the PS4, I was curious how well the game would perform, and I’m happy to report that this is easily the best looking and performing Atelier game to date. The trademark Atelier cell shading looks sharp and colorful, and I wasn’t able to notice a single framerate drop throughout my lengthy playtime.

I loved Dead Island when it came out, but I wonder who this collection is for. The games included are not that old, and with Techland’s newest entry leaps and bounds above what these games did, it is hard to go back. Still for $40 for the pair one cannot argue the amount of value packed into this package.

Is this game strange? Yes. Is it overly sexualized? Absolutely. Did it make me not want anyone to see me playing it? You bet. The most important thing, though- is it fun to play? It sure is. The action is something that I enjoyed far more than a Warriors game, and the combo system was both fun to execute as well as flashy enough to enjoy watching unfold.

Far Harbor has lots of new content and it’s great to return to Fallout 4. A dark, seedy, and just creepy island with a interesting back story only had me wanting to explore the world more and more. For me, Fallout is all about its world and setting, so this was super important to me and shows that Bethesda still knows how to do expansion content right.

Despite having one of the most generic titles I’ve heard in a while, Neon Chrome has a lot going for it – a solid rogue-like, with plenty of upgrade options and exciting action. It’s such a shame that the HUD issue put a dampener on things. As it stands, I would have to recommend waiting on this until a patch it released to address the semi game breaking bug.
