Deaf Game Review – Hunt: Showdown
Game reviewed on PS4. WELL. Hunt: Showdown manages to fail deaf/hoh accessibility in nearly every way possible. It’s not often I get to say that because usually there’s at least something I can give a game credit for. Not this time though. Hunt: Showdown is a game fresh out of Xbox game preview that has […]
Deaf Game Review – Fortnite
Game reviewed on Xbox One and PS4. You know what? I’m just going to go ahead and say it. Fortnite is a goddamn masterpiece. That’s it. That’s the accessibility review right there. It’s perfect, go get it. But I suppose you came here for more, huh? Well then…In 2017, my partner Susan reviewed Fortnite Save […]
Deaf Game Review – Zombie Army 4: Dead War
Review copies courtesy of anonymous. Game reviewed on Xbox One in solo mode only. I’ll be honest here. I don’t care for zombies. I’ve been tired of them for quite a few years now. I’m ready to move on to the next popular baddie that will then be overdone for a decade. I had no […]
Deaf Game Review – HyperDot
Game reviewed on Xbox One. Review copy provided courtesy of Glitch. I am not good at HyperDot. Not at all. I swear at it a lot. I quit and walk away. I come back to it because it’s just so pretty. Rinse and repeat. BUT, friends, I am not not good at this game because […]
Deaf Game Review – Frostpunk
Game reviewed on Xbox One Frostpunk is a world-building simulation strategy game. It’s a genre I generally avoid as I’m not usually into these types of games but I’ve become hooked on this rather quickly. It was recently added to Game Pass for console on Xbox One so I decided to check it out because […]
Deaf Game Review – Halo: Reach
Game reviewed on Xbox One. Campaign-only gameplay has been reviewed. Have you ever launched a game for the first time, combed through the menus to change all of your usual settings, and then spent an hour looking for an option that you must have missed because not including it is just that out of character […]
Deaf Game Review – Farmer’s Dynasty
Reviewed on Xbox One Let me start this review by just making it clear that I love this game. I’m a sucker for farming games and I love RPGs, so this game mixing the two, I’m just so happy playing it. I had to clear that up because what follows might make it seem like […]
Deaf Game Review – Revisiting Forza Horizon 4
When Forza Horizon 4 originally came out in October of 2018, Susan did the review. The Horizon series was one of her favorites and after she died this past March, it became one of mine, as it was the only game in our vast collection that allowed me to still play something “with” her as […]
Deaf Game Review – Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order
Game reviewed on Xbox One I’m enjoying this game so much that I found it difficult to tear myself away from it in order to write this review, especially since deaf accessibility is perfect. Here is an example of the largest possible size (15 ) with the darkest possible background (100%). I personally prefer it […]
Deaf Game Review – Death Stranding
So many have been waiting a long time in a constant state of, “Wait, what is this game even about?” for the release of Death Stranding, Hideo Kojima’s new game, starring Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, and Guillermo del Toro (among many others). Since this is such a weird game, we thought we’d shake up how […]
Deaf Game Review – Need for Speed: Heat
Game reviewed on Xbox One A new Need for Speed is upon us and while getting deaf/hoh accessibility right in racing games is a fairly simple thing to do, EA brought vast improvements in that area of accessibility to Heat. Most notable is the subtitle size. While it’s unfortunate that there are no size options […]
Deaf Game Review – The Outer Worlds
Game reviewed on Xbox One The Outer Worlds is a lot like Greedfall both in that it’s an RPG that I’ve been eager to play and anxiously awaiting my Next Favorite RPG and in that upon launching the game, I was more disappointed than anything. The Outer Worlds starts off with making me feel hopeful […]
Deaf Game Review – Ring Fit Adventure
Before we get into the review (and there’s not much of one, really) we need to take a moment to appreciate the game Nintendo has given us. What we have here is a fantasy game with magical creatures and magical powers and characters wearing athletic wear that in no way ties into the narrative or […]
Stranded Sails: Explorers of the Cursed Islands Review
Game reviewed on Xbox One. Review copy provided courtesy of Merge Games. Fan of games where you do literally everything for everyone while they stand around and incessantly ask you to do more for them, there’s a new game out for you! Oh, and it’s a farming game with a touch of combat packaged in […]
Deaf and Mobility Game Review – Concrete Genie
I was thrilled when I launched Concrete Genie, a game in which you play a kid who has magical paint powers and runs around his city painting stuff with his magical painted friends, and saw a dedicated accessibility menu. Generally, this means developers have taken some measures to make their game widely accessible. Upon opening […]
Deaf Game Review – Ghost Recon Breakpoint
Game reviewed on Xbox one. Review copy provided courtesy of Ubisoft. I don’t think it’s any secret at this point that I’m among Ubisoft’s biggest fans. I love their games and their vocal commitment to accessibility, paired with the fact that many of their developers were the very first supporters of Can I Play That? […]
