Rebounding from a weak second episode, Batman: The Enemy Within's third episode restores my hopes that this season will turn out well. Major developments around Batman's big secret and strong interactions with Harley Quinn, Selina Kyle, and John make Fractured Mask work, right up until the extremely abrupt ending.
Poor controls and a lousy camera doom Xbox's adorable-critter platformer.
Mario’s new romp fuses old with new in a joyous adventure that should not be missed.
I still love Telltale's take on the Bat-verse, but the remaining episodes of The Enemy Within have an uphill climb to get this season back on track.
I wish I'd been given the chance to actually solve more of The Riddler's puzzles on my own – adventure games are traditionally all about that, after all – but the tension and drama that permeate The Enemy Within's first episode make it a winner. This strong start also leaves me very excited to see how John Doe's inevitable transformation into The Joker plays out, and morbidly fascinated to see what scars this version of Gotham City will leave behind on its inhabitants.
Black: The Fall Is a blatant, so-so clone of Playdead's 2016 masterpiece.
For better and for worse, Danger Zone is a no-frills resurrection of Burnout’s Crash mode, priced accordingly.
Thimbleweed Park is a time capsule adventure game, buried in 1987 and unearthed in 2017. And a great one at that.
Impressive in some areas and disappointing in others, Bomberman's Switch debut is a bit too pricey to recommend.
