HIGH Excellent worldbuilding. Engaging combat. Fantastic art direction.
LOW Frequent crashes and freezes, slow loading screens. Sparse, unpopulated areas.
WTF The way Vrann says “faces” sounds an awful lot like “feces.”

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Review
HIGH Exploring an open world that was made with passion and densely packed with content.
LOW Some bugs, old and new, rear their ugly heads.

The PlayStation 5 Pro Difference: The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered
While GameCritics will soon post a full review of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, the good people at Bethesda were kind enough to supply a code specifically to test out this rework on Playstation 5 Pro. Surely Sony’s beefy machine will have no problems running a gussied-up eighteen-year-old game?
Dread Delusion Review
HIGH effective world-building and imaginative game design.
LOW Gameplay and visuals lack variety. Some pretty egregious bugs.
WTF money floating around waiting to be pilfered is truly the stuff of fantasy.
SVG Special: Starfield At 5 & 30 Hours
The Outer Worlds: Spacer’s Choice Edition (PS5) Review
HIGH Eventually (I assume?) this will be a fine release.
LOW It sure as s*** ain’t right now.
WTF Putting the level cap to 99 in this game is the definition of arbitrary and capricious.
PREVIEW: The Elder Scrolls Online – High Isle
The storyline for the High Isle addition primarily revolves around a shady group of deviants known as the Ascendant Order. They’re a secretive bunch of rogues with an eye on overthrowing the ruling classes of Bretonnia and grant freedom to the common people… but, naturally, it doesn’t look like that’s the whole story.
Ghostwire: Tokyo review
HIGH Shibuya at night looks absolutely beautiful.
LOW The combat is basic and repetitive from start to finish.
WTF Hitting endgame and wondering if I’d accidentally skipped half the story.
Ghostwire: Tokyo Hands-On Preview
As the release date of Ghostwire: Tokyo approaches, we’ve now been able to get hands-on time with the final version. While we’re only allowed to talk about the first two chapters (which cover much the same ground as our hands-off preview from last month) being able to play for ourselves has allowed for us to take a different approach in the same general area. And honestly, it’s looking quite promising at this point.
Doom Eternal: The Ancient Gods DLC review
A Hell Of A Good Time
HIGH This is some of the finest videogame combat ever created.
LOW Buff Totems are still inexplicably awful additions to any encounter.
WTF They removed the DOOG easter egg? Give it back, cowards!
