Death’s Gambit: Afterlife Review

If you’ve never been successful in a Souls-like before then Death’s Gambit might be Souls-lite enough to ease you into things.

I cannot recall the last videogame I finished with more conflicting feelings.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits has beautiful animation and art design but is too difficult to be a fun videogame.

There’s no other RPG quite like Loop Hero, and it’s worth playing for that reason alone.

The Wild at Heart is an engaging Sendak-esque adventure that lacks refinement.

Tails of Iron feels like playing a gruesome passage from Redwall if it was read as a bedtime story by Geralt of Rivia.

Death’s Door’s lack of originality overwhelms me with ennui.

Unpacking’s activity is removing things from boxes. The game is understanding what those things tell me about the unseen protagonist.

John and Sam’s journey eastward is beautiful and often frustrating.

Golf Club Wasteland is intriguing as an atmospheric experience delivering an apocalyptic message, but as a golf videogame it’s a double bogey.
