Ultimately, Of Mice and Sand -Revised- is a positively charming title. It's a cute and entertaining world that I would love to come back to if Arc System Works could find a way to make a second trip more compelling with additional gameplay options.
Hand of Fate 2 is a game that rewards skillful selection of cards to be put into a luck-of-the-draw situation. Set up good situations and hope that they play out the way you plan.
Monolith knew it had something when they took the Nemesis System, made famous in Shadow of Mordor, and expanded it exponentially. The world has never seen so many diverse Uruk-hai.
The combat is beautifully choreographed and well thought out. It's really fulfilling, but the game does little to help you figure out how to perfect certain moves.
Pyre was still fun with the platform they ultimately decided on.
The Lion's Song makes one want to like it for what it's trying to do, but it's very dependant on taste.
Battlecrew: Space Pirates is a side-scrolling online action game, which is a genre that has infinite room to build upon, but Battlecrew didn't seem too interested in that.
Cthulhu doesn't chase strong, bearded space marines down hallways. He and the many old gods slowly bend the minds of their victims until they've lost them completely, and Conarium reflects that.
Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers is a tribute to a classic. Street Fighter II made the fighting genre what it is today, and this game certainly celebrates it.
Dragon Quest Heroes 2 pays homage to the legacy that is the Dragon Quest series, but it also offers something different at the same time.
Mr. Shifty is immediately reminiscent of Hotline Miami. Shift into a room, punch Mr. Mc Pistolman twice, shift out before his friend can get a bead on you. Repeat until dead.
Little Nightmares is a "child must traverse horrifying and dangerous predicaments" simulator; something 'Inside' and 'Limbo' fans would find familiar.
Sometimes a puzzle in Full Throttle Remastered is really clever, deserving a smile of accomplishment occasionally. But some puzzles end up with you just clicking around until you figure it out
Shiness is a breath of fresh air with its gameplay, while also reminding us what made the PlayStation 2 era so great with its originality and narrative decisions.
Estival Versus is a short game in terms of the main story, but has high replayability with the 27 characters to choose from. If you're a fan of fast-paced anime action and cutie anime girls (It's okay, I won't tell) then this game is definitely worth pick
Nights of Azure could have been better than it was. The story and basic concepts of the battle mechanics had something special about them, but they fell flat when they weren't expanded upon and were expected to be repeated over and over.
Police Tactics: Imperio is a police station simulator with good ideas that don't go as deep as a simulation fan would like.
It's similar to its predecessors, but not so similar that you'd be buying the same game twice.
Pocket Card Jockey is, for all intents and purposes, a pretty good game. What it really came down to for a final verdict was the price. It was fun, but 3DS is pretty well known for their high price tagged games.
With loads of new features, XCOM 2 turns out to be another hit out of the park. It's obviously not a game for everybody due to sheer difficulty alone, but anybody with the patience to learn should be pleased with the love and attention put into this title.
