After spending hours with Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, it's clear that this Koei Tecmo horror title is an experience not to be missed by fans of the genre. The eerie visuals of the game, as well as the soundtrack, pulls you into this dark world that keeps you on the edge to know what happens next in this haunting and tragic tale. The controls may take some time to get used to, but the camera-based combat system is pretty unique and fun to play with. Its flaws are forgivable in the face of the game's uneasy setting, captivating storytelling, and spine-tingling atmosphere. Recommended for horrophiles.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is a hard game, but it comes with a rewarding experience. While the game's narrative falls short in several areas, the gameplay more than makes up for it. Its intricate combat system and challenging boss battles will make you want to put in the time and effort to elevate your skill. Loot drops are rare, and the feeling of “I can't do this” was a constant throughout the game. But it's this feeling that kept me coming back for more. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty doesn't hold your hand, and it's up to you to invest the time and get better at it.
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is a game that fans of the show will definitely enjoy. It features faithful portrayal of the characters and its likeable humour, along with phenomenal writing and voice acting. While the platform gameplay can get a bit monotonous and the addition of collecting multiple costumes is not enough to keep the game fresh for repeated playthroughs, the unique environments and entertaining story make it worth checking out for any SpongeBob fan.
Need for Speed Unbound is a solid arcade racing game. With a campaign that progresses as you start with nothing and work your way up, and limited retries that add stakes to races, the game is more involved than your typical arcade racer. However, the grind in the early game can be frustrating, and the annoying cop chases can turn some players off. NFS fans will enjoy the game, and it is worth the price to try out the game through EA Play Pro, but I can’t recommend blindly buying the game at full price to casual players. It is also worth noting that EA offered the game discounted just weeks after the launch. It is best to wait for the next discount on the platform of your choice.
Lil Gator Game is an adorable adventure game that is best enjoyed after a tiring day. It will transport you back to your childhood days and the cute characters and easy objectives make it a good stress-buster. The game is reminiscent of titles like Animal Crossing and the Legend of Zelda series, and will appeal to players who enjoy relaxing, casual games with a focus on exploration and crafting.
The Wandering Village ticks all the right boxes as a city-building game. Managing not only your village but also a giant creature is a unique concept that is mostly well done. It isn't just a gimmick; the theme adds to the challenge of the game. Research tech could use some improvement but as an Early Access title, The Wandering Village is a solid game that is worth the price.
Little Orpheus is more of an interactive story mixed with platformer elements. The game keeps everything really simple and is very short in length, with not much in terms of replay value unless you are a completionist. The low difficulty can also be a turn-off for some. However, the combination of an interesting story, funny characters, and a whimsical, pretty world paired with straightforward gameplay can be a reason for many to give this title a shot.
