Originally published on Trevor Trove on March 4, 2018 TL; DR(eview) – Superhot bills itself as the most innovative shooter in years and it makes a solid case for it, often behaving more as a puzzle game than a downright shooter. With the recent release of Moss, I decided I would dedicate this weekend toContinue reading “Superhot Review”

Shadow of the Colossus (2018) Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on February 11, 2018 TL; DR(eview) – Bluepoint Games has recreated the definitive version of the Team Ico classic, bringing a full redesign of the game, rather than a simpler port with mildly better resolution. But a frustrating control scheme and ragdoll physics keep this good game from greatness inContinue reading “Shadow of the Colossus (2018) Review”
Death Note (2017) Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on October 16, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – For me, Death Note fails as a movie because it tries to cash in on the property’s audience and popularity while also serving as a pale imitation of why it became so popular and built an audience in the first place. Aside fromContinue reading “Death Note (2017) Review”
Golf Story Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on October 10, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Golf Story is a charming little 16-bit golf RPG with a lot of great little absurd humor and enjoyably challenging courses and side quests. If you’re looking for a golf game where you’ll lose a portion of your winnings to your (ex?) wife, train underContinue reading “Golf Story Review”
Blade Runner 2049 Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on October 9, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – There is no denying that Blade Runner 2049 is a deliberately slow character-driven mystery. So if you go in expecting fast-paced action you’ll be disappointed. But I appreciated the extra time just living in this world for a few hours as it is one ofContinue reading “Blade Runner 2049 Review”
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on October 8, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle puts a nice new game type into the long lineage of Mario titles. It waters down the X-COM formula a little too much and has far too many Rabbids to make it a truly great game but it’s a solidContinue reading “Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle Review”
Rogue One Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on September 11, 2017 While I continue to be addicted to the Destiny 2 grind, I put on Rogue One a Star Wars story in the background to see how well it holds up outside of the hype bubble of its release. No, it did not generate nearly as muchContinue reading “Rogue One Review”
Undertale Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on September 10, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – Undertale is a short and sweet tribute to the classic JRPG genre that manages to remain recognizable to the genre, while at the same time subverting and elevating it. It’s design and soundtrack are among some of the finest of the last fewContinue reading “Undertale Review”
Fun Home Musical Review
Originally published on Trevor Trove on September 8, 2017 I’m a firm believer in the notion that live theatre is one of the most powerful art forms in existence. The inherently ephemeral relationship that forms between performers and their audience is a once in a lifetime moment. No two performances will ever be identical. TheContinue reading “Fun Home Musical Review”
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Review (Spoiler-Free)
Originally published on Trevor Trove on August 27, 2017 TL; DR(eview) – While it’s great getting to see a couple of Uncharted’s strong women take the lead in this story, their “Odd Couple” dynamic doesn’t feel as fun to play as some of Uncharted’s past pairings. Naughty Dog’s India is beautiful though and the 6-8-hourContinue reading “Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Review (Spoiler-Free)”
