Wavetale Review

Wavetale is a great example of style winning over substance.

A detestable protagonist and repetitive storytelling sabotages Donut County’s appealingly simple puzzle design.

These five videogames were beacons of joy in 2024’s tide of misery.

SCHiM vexes me. I want it to be incredible. It’s a boring platformer with an empty protagonist and a wasted story.

Trine 4 is made with refinement, intelligence, and heart. It is easily the best videogame in the series so far.

Street Rumble is an average beat ’em up at the core of an adaptation that frustratingly misses the point of its source material.

The Last Faith is derivative of other, popular videogames. This does not mean it’s bad.

Outer Wilds’ meticulously designed solar system should be displayed in a museum even if its overarching mystery is a little rough.

Adventures in Gameland is a disappointing Rugrats throwback that in no way justifies its outrageous pricetag even to the most passionate fan.

Players who completed Dredge last year are once again given little reason to return for its second DLC course.
