The Banner Saga Review

The Banner Saga may be a joy to look at, but it can be a bit of a hassle to actually play due to a less than ideal UI and a suboptimal saving system. But considering this is Stoic Studio's debut project, it's still very much entertaining and worth experiencing.

Heroes of Dragon Age – A Mobile, Blight-Fighting RPG

Even die-hard Dragon Age fans might find this slog of an experience hard to enjoy. With brutal monetization and ridiculous "energy-based" actions, you'll barely be able to play, even if you decide you do want to suffer through it's middling gameplay.

Galaxy Run – iOS Review

Galaxy Run is nice looking, easy to pick up, and quite fun, for a time. It isn't going to revolutionize anything any time soon, but does it really need to?

Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition Review

While Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition is definitely a notable improvement over Beamdog's previous remaster, the new content it introduces still can't approach the quality of the original game, and all its quality-of-life improvements, while welcome, are somewhat offset by the new bugs and crashes.

The Dark Eye: Demonicon Review

A multi-platform action-RPG from a studio whose primary experience lies with mobile games, The Dark Eye: Demonicon is predictably rough around the edges, but it can be enjoyable in a quaint sort of way.

Avadon 2: The Corruption Review

Spiderweb Software's latest offering, Avadon 2: The Corruption, doesn't stray too far from its predecessor. Which unfortunately means it falls short of Spiderweb's Avernum and Gengeforge series. But if you're someone who enjoyed the first Avadon title, chances are you'll like this one as well.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut Review

The Director's Cut of Deus Ex: Human Revolution comes with minor visual enhancements and The Missing Link DLC, but it also addresses one of the original game's biggest issues - its lackluster boss fights. If you don't own the game already, this re-release is a no-brainer.

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing DLC Review

The post-release content for The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing gives you more stuff to do, more ways to customize your characters, and more gear to find. You add a reasonable price on top of that, and you get a DLC pack that's hard to say no to.

Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches Review

A fitting if predictable conclusion for Dishonored, The Brigmore Witches offers some really nice missions, but its limited scope makes it a bite-sized appetizer for Dishonored 2 more than anything else.

Eschalon: Book II Review

With plenty to do and a reasonable asking price, Eschalon: Book II is a decent RPG and a respectable, if somewhat unambitious sequel.
