Review: Control
Remedy Entertainment is one of those studios that kind of found its comfort zone. Their games, while wildly varied in themes and aesthetic, do follow a pattern of sorts. They mainly do third-person shooters that are story-driven and character-focused. The main characters usually narrate in grim voice-overs, and they often have dark pasts and demons […]
Review: Anthem
Anthem, Anthem, Anthem… Where do we begin? Alright, let’s break it down. Anthem has been getting some decent buzz for a while now, and it’s finally out. Problem is, a lot of people are wondering if Anthem can actually bring anything new to the table. A lot of people have compared it to loot shooters […]
Review: Just Cause 4
Another day, another explosion, right? Just Cause 4 is back with yet another coup d’etat simulator, and this time we’re going to South America. The setting this time around is Solis, a massive country with a tyrannical regime that only understands one thing: explosions. If this sounds familiar, it’s probably because Just Cause has kind […]
Review: L.A. Noire
Now more than five years after its original release, Rockstar Games decided to give us a remastered version of one of its most iconic game of the past decade: L.A. Noire. Originally released on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 (which I’ve reviewed for At7addak.com back in the days) and PC in 2011, the new launch […]
Review: Ruiner
RUINER is a name that tells you right away that a game is no-nonsense, and the new Reikon-developed Devolver-published title definitely delivers on that front. It’s an action-heavy shooter with tons of violence set in the not-so-distant future in a neon-drenched metropolis. You play a very violent individual looking to take on the system, get […]
Review: Agents of Mayhem
With Saints Row cycle, I jumped in for the second installment, which won me over with its ridiculous humor and violence. I haven’t been a fan of more recent installments (3 was the peak for me). Saints Row 4 was still fun to play, but Gat out of Hell seemed boring to me. It seemed […]
Review: Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3
In the world of sniper recon games, there’s not many options nowadays, with the Sniper Elite franchise (recently released their fourth episode and reviewed in February), and its sort of rival which is Sniper: Ghost Warrior from CI Games. While I call it a “sort of rival”, it’s not because of difference in quality, but more […]
Review: Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands
In our last VGP Radio podcast, we discussed modern shooters and their appeal. During the episode (which you check out right here), we talked a lot about tactical shooters, and how they have a more niche appeal generally, since gamers want something simpler. However, the tactical aspect appeals to plenty of gamers as well, and my […]

A new country means for […]
Review: Watch Dogs 2
Ubisoft’s open-world action title Watch Dogs had a lot of hype when it released, but many gamers felt like it missed the mark. The promise of a game where your smartphone would be your most powerful weapon seemed betrayed by a game that focused much more on traditional run-and-gun action. So when Watch Dogs 2 […]
