ABZÛ
Once ABZÛ slows down and lets its atmosphere sink in, it finally begins to shine.
Reviews
DOOM II
DOOM II may be the biggest drop in quality for an “expansion pack sequel” that I’ve ever seen.
Final Fantasy IX
The modern re-release of Final Fantasy IX makes a few minor but consequential changes that ultimately diminish the overall quality.
Sid Meier’s Civilization V: Gods & Kings
Gods & Kings is a great expansion, but only because the design of Civilization V was unusual and incomplete.
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery could have been a touching and evocative story supported by interesting puzzle gameplay.
Loom
Loom manages to tell a great story on top of its mold-shattering gameplay.
Hyper Light Drifter
Hyper Light Drifter does its inspirations enough justice to warrant a recommendation, but it also hosts a number of imperfections that keep it from true greatness.
Sid Meier’s Civilization V
Despite all of the changes, this is still undeniably a Civilization game.
Control
Aspects that would unambiguously be flaws in another game are entirely appropriate in Control.
Super Paper Mario
I find myself agreeing with Super Paper Mario’s initial mixed reception.
