Mudborne Review - Gamecritics.com

1 week ago | gamecritics.com | Justin Grandfield

HIGH A great balance between cozy and challenging, plus frogs with hats. LOW A few visual glitches and some awkward tools. WTF I’m afraid we’ll need to use… math. One of the best things about videogame simulation is how vast the genre is. Some will let players build vast cities, others will have them flying planes. Mudborne, however, had me breeding frogs. It’s not just a management sim, though. I’d also argue that it’s a puzzler on top of that.

Star Wars: Episode One: Jedi Power Battles Review

1 week ago | gamecritics.com | Elijah Beahm

HIGH The platforming is only slightly tedious now!LOW The final fight with Darth Maul is still basically impossible. WTF Someone at Lucasfilm Games keeps approving these things. Star Wars: Episode One: Jedi Power Battles is the latest Star Wars game remaster from Aspyr Studios, and I have to say that even after all of my trepidation over their last few remasters that this is somehow worse than I expected. Mad props, I did not see that coming.

Orcs Must Die! Deathtrap Review

3 weeks ago | gamecritics.com | Elijah Beahm

HIGH Sniping the head clean off an orc’s shoulders! With a wrench! Somehow!LOW The ‘thrill’ of grinding for a -0.2 second reset time to grind more efficiently. WTF 99,999 Skulls to wear the color PURPLE. Are you serious? Editor’s Note: This review was conducted before the “Arcane Update” on March 23rd. Though the update does provide some quality-of-life improvements, two maps from prior games, and an additional playable character, the same foundational issues persist.
Once Alive Review

3 weeks ago | gamecritics.com | Justin Grandfield

The Worst Gated Community EverHIGH An intriguing tale that features some interesting twists. LOW Game performance issues and stilted voice acting mar the experience. WTF You don’t want to turn 57 years old in HaustVille…One of the big themes in post-apocalyptic storyteling is the desire to find a community to live and thrive in, despite the dangers of trying to find them in the first place. In Once Alive, this theme is turned on its head, and the promised safe haven is not what it seems.
