Pokopia is one of the best offerings from the Pokémon series in a considerable period of time. Blending many different inspirations into quite frankly the ultimate life simulator cozy game for Pokémon fans. Pokopia has a mountain of mechanics that are brilliantly taught and easy to implement. With around 300 Pokémon to find, befriend and build for. Multiple areas to explore and cultivate. Multiple options for online and multiplayer gameplay. Pokopia is certainly content rich and will keep you glued to your Switch 2. A truly wonderful experience with nostalgia for old fans and plenty to fall in love with as a new fan.
A mostly competent remake with some bewildering gameplay decisions concerning ‘Pro Skater 4’. A sometimes beautiful looking game that gives fun 2 minute blasts of classic arcade skating action. Modifiers to make the experience enjoyable for first time skaters and the hardened elite of yesteryear. A myriad of online park creations add theoretical replay-ability. Essentially it is a test of your nostalgia lens.
I enjoyed this history trip down a classic game makers library. The package is very clean and easy to navigate. The inclusion of online play makes it one of the most convenient ways to play with others that can’t get to the arcade with you. While not all were hits, in my opinion this package includes plenty of great games to keep you busy on a nostalgia trip. One of my major gripes is the omission of ‘River City Ransom’ & ‘Double Dragon’.
An anime visual novel with poker at parts. The visuals were nice but sometimes grossed me out, with AI generation in parts that I can’t get behind. A niche crossover of genres that will find a dedicated audience but sadly not myself.
‘Monster Hunter Wilds’ is one of the best games in the franchise to date. Excellent combat that has never felt better, thanks to the ability to aim attacks. A plethora of quality of life adjustments making the game more accessible for new players and more convenient for veterans. The new assortment of monsters are both originally designed and fun to fight. It’s narrative feels like a retread, but it’s rewarding end game will keep you engaged. Performance is questionable and sadly does effect the otherwise brilliant experience.
A brilliant business management game in setting that I don't believe has been tackled before. Quirky exhibits and museums really add to the game. 'Two Point' does expect a little bit too much involvement for some exhibits. All in all a great tycoon game giving that 90's gameplay with modern day quality of life.
