Batman: Arkham Origins

Arkham Origins is a version of Arkham City that’s just slightly worse at everything.

TOEM is seemingly the result of a lab experiment to create the coziest cozy game that isn’t a life sim of some kind.

Sunset Overdrive is essentially a Ratchet & Clank game mixed with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and, more unfortunately, Borderlands.

The quicksave makes New ‘n’ Tasty almost automatically a better game than Abe’s Oddysee.

Beyond Earth is a great game, but it’s not great in the same way as its inspiration.

While I’m a huge fan of Prey, I’ll be the first to admit that it is not a good fit for a roguelike adaptation.

Hand of Fate is less than the sum of its parts.

What ultimately holds Command Mission back is how sterile it is.

I don’t know what the scariest game I’ve ever played is, but Amnesia: The Bunker is high on the list.

GTA3’s frustrations and omissions would make a less revolutionary game not worth playing at all.
