This morning the review embargo for ReCore lifted ahead of its launch tomorrow, and based on what I’m seeing, reviews are very mixed. We’ve played it for 4 or 5 hours so far, and while the game begins on a big high, things begin to crumble quickly. Early, everything in ReCore feels outstanding. Finding the collectibles is a blast, using your robot allies is fun, the puzzles are engaging for the most part, and things look and sound great. After…

Those on Playstation will not have access to this application as this is coming to the Xbox One via the Windows 10 App crossover. Without the ability to load and run…

A few years ago, a small indie developer launched a game called Oceanhorn. If you have ever played, Oceanhorn before – or seen video for that matter – you will see that it is an obvious Zelda rip off. And I truly say that as a compliment, because Oceanhorn is one of the best Zelda like games I have ever played. Although Oceanhorn will be available later next week on Xbox One and PS4, we had a chance to relive…

When playing through both titles in the past week – Deus Ex for review and the latest Hitman episode – I realized that although Deus Ex is packed full of things to do, I would rather play stealth in Hitman. The fundamental difference between environments in both titles is that Deus Ex is built for…
