Agreement—

More of a multiplayer shooter than an MMO, Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade suffers from balance and technical issues.

Agreement—

Grow Up doesn't feel terribly different from Grow Home other than its larger world, but its main achievement is to strengthen some of its predecessor's weak points. The drive to climb to the top of everything remains, but here it's improved on with new methods of climbing and flying, and the option to toss down plants that serve as tools for any situation. The camera sometimes complicates this, but not enough to bury the charm of the original.

Agreement—

A beautiful JRPG that captures the spirit of the genre's early hits while playing things a tad too safely.

A serviceable JPRG marred by uneven production values and poor A.I.

Agreement—

With the Dead Island Definitive Edition, Dead Island and Dead Island Riptide have never looked so good. The use of Dying Light's graphics engine means almost every setting looks better and more realistic than it did at the start of the decade, but it unfortunately doesn’t run any better now than it did then. With around 35 hours of gameplay packed in and a fun little retro beat 'em up to complement it all, though, it's the best way to play if you missed these zombie-smashers.

Dead Star is a generally fun mashup of MOBAs and twin-stick shooters.

Agreement—

Ashes of the Singularity delivers thoughtful real-time strategy with tons of units in play, but drab maps and a poor story.

Critic83/100

Agreement—

It's a little hobbled by old-school stylings and the story could be better, but few modern hack-and-slash RPGs are quite so fun.

Agreement—

It's light on features for an expansion, but Mercenaries adds some welcome volatility to the 4X sandbox.
