Ghost Recon Breakpoint Review : Missing the Mark

Picture this. One of your favorite sports teams had an amazing off-season. The team, on paper, looks incredible. Then the preseason starts but things look a little off. Players that are supposed to lead your team to victory seem to be struggling. "It's just the preseason, they're taking it easy".…

Greedfall Review : Treading Familiar Ground

Let's get this out of the way right at the beginning. Colonialism is bad. Are we all in agreement? Good. Now be warned, Greedfall, the newest release from Spiders (studio), uses colonialism as its setting. If this in any way upsets you, this game is not for you. The backlash…

Review : Control

Fans have been clamoring for a sequel to both Alan Wake and Quantum Break for a long time now. And with good reason. Alan Wake has become a cult classic and Quantum Break took a whole different approach to the story driven action genre, with live action cut scenes bridging…

Review : Madden NFL 20

It would be really easy to point you in the direction of last year's Madden review and say "Pretty much the same thing" or "Well, it's Madden". Two problems. First, we didn't do a Madden review last year here at Seasoned Gaming and second, just enough has changed to give…

Review : Blood and Truth (PS VR)

I don't play a ton of VR due to a combination of time (the lack of) and an insurmountable backlog of games. What I have played though, I've enjoyed. When I saw the trailers for Blood and Truth from Sony Interactive's London Studio, I knew I had to give it…

Review : Judgment

To compare Judgment, Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio's newest romp through the streets of Kamurocho, to the Yakuza series is totally unfair. It's also 100% totally fair. Gone are the days of Kazuma Kiryu, the lead of Yakuza series. In his place we take control of Takayuki Yagami, a former lawyer…

Review : A Plague Tale Innocence

There seems to be a lack of smaller, narrative driven games these days. In a medium where single player games lean towards sprawling, massive open world settings, it's refreshing to find something really good on a smaller scale. A Plague Tale: Innocence is just that. It's that home-cooked meal that…

Review : Days Gone

863 days gone. That's how long I feel like I've been playing this game. Bend Studio's newest release has had me running for my life from freakers, searching the wilderness for various crafting resources, and taking to the open road, or what's left of them, on my sweet custom hog.…

Review : Far Cry New Dawn

It should be noted that this review contains spoilers for Far Cry 5 What can I say about Far Cry: New Dawn that hasn't been said about Far Cry 5? Not a lot. Ubisoft's newest open world adventure picks up 17 years after the events of Far Cry 5 in…

Review : Gris

Indie games seem to be a dime a dozen these days. That's not a bad thing necessarily, options are what keeps our hobby alive and kicking. The problem is, it takes something special to make people take notice. In 2018, we seemed to see a rise in the quality of…

Review : Just Cause 4

If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, there's probably a good chance it's a duck. Just Cause 4 is said duck. The follow up to 2015's Just Cause 3 picks up right where it's predecessor left off, in more ways than one.…
