Three and Out: Take Two – ‘Kingdom Hearts III’
Kingdom Hearts 3 is hard to stomach. A game with unrivaled potential falling drastically short of its own legacy. The writing feels slipshod and hamfisted, as if all Sora needs to do is feel...
Three and Out – ‘Kingdom Hearts III’
Thirteen years since Kingdom Hearts II and two years since Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue we have arrived to the day that has constantly been teased and joked about never truly arriving. Kingdom...
Three and Out – ‘Grim Fandango’
LucasArts was a company well known for its interesting and compelling storytelling, and Grim Fandango is no exception to that reputation. This game is presented in a noir style based on the Aztec version of...
Three and Out – ‘Ashen’
On its surface, Ashen is a collection of inspired mechanics. There will be, and already have been, countless comparisons to Dark Souls – with many of those comparisons being warranted. There is slow, calculated...
Three and Out – ‘FAR: Lone Sails’
It is Ben’s recommendation that you listen to Joel Schoch’s score of FAR: Lone Sails while you read the review. FAR: Lone Sails is about triumph in the face of loneliness. Operating a large...
Three and Out – ‘Mega Man 11’
After an eight-year long hiatus, Mega Man is back with a brand new entry into the classic franchise. The movement, shooting and level design harkens back to the NES-era. The art style and voice...
Three and Out – ‘Fallout: New Vegas’
War never changes. This is the opening line to Fallout: New Vegas, and it rings true throughout the game. It begins with a unique 1950’s aesthetic in its retro-futuristic style and keeps it consistent...
Three and Out – ‘Life is Strange: Before the Storm’
Prequels tend to serve as a foot in the mouth of a storyline that we already know the conclusion to. I nervously expected our time with Chloe Price and Rachel Amber to reveal too...
Three and Out – ‘Night in the Woods’
When my friend Dakota gifted me a copy of Night in the Woods, I had no idea I was stepping into the best game I’ve played all year. The deceptively cartoony sidescrolling adventure...
Three and Out – ‘Hollow Knight’
There was an intense moment of relief for me when I found my first character buried beneath the levels of soil, mystery and labyrinth of Hollownest, the beautifully quiet setting for Hollow Knight. Cornifer the...
Three and Out: Mega Man 3
Mega Man 3’s combat systems serve as a puzzle that can have its pieces either a) jammed and squished together through defiance or impetuosity or b) fit snugly into their place if you’re patient...
Three and Out: ‘Kingdom Hearts 2’
Kingdom Hearts II is a fusion of components smashed together to make something charming, intuitive and comprehensive. At various times, I found myself flying through the air on an anti-gravity motorcycle, participating in musicals...
Three and Out: ‘Demon’s Souls’
Demon’s Souls wastes little time getting to the point: Boletaria, the imagined kingdom the game takes place, is a brutal place to spend time in. It goes without saying that the trailblazer for the...
