Spencer Legacy's Reviews
Persona 4 Dancing All Night is a shockingly good sequel to Persona 4 and its fighting game spin-offs.
Though they don’t have the fleshed-out story of Persona 4: Dancing All Night, both Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight and Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight are incredibly fun rhythm games with killer soundtracks.
For both nostalgic fans and series newbies alike, the Spyro: Reignited Collection is a fantastic way to play through three classic PS1 platformer/collect-a-thons.
If you haven’t played Rondo of Blood or Symphony of the Night, or want to get into the Castlevania series, or even if you just want to replay some classic masterpieces, Requiem is a great way to do so.
I haven’t played many games as subtly frightening as Call of Cthulhu, which mostly succeeds as a horror game and a thoroughly enjoyable story. Outside of some shoddy stealth segments and muddy visuals, Call of Cthulhu is a deep and enjoyably crazy ride on the Lovecraftian side.
Taking cues from Lego Incredibles and Marvel Super Heroes 2, Lego DC Super Villains is another Lego game that makes minor improvements to the familiar, accessible, and fun Lego formula, even if it could use a couple touch-ups.
It isn’t complex or ground-breaking, but My Hero: One’s Justice is a ton of over-the-top anime fighting fun. The abundance of single-player content and unlockables will keep players busy for quite some time, and the incredibly accurate visual style and fun gameplay make One’s Justice worth checking out.
SoulCalibur VI is a blast to play on your own or with others, as it largely improves upon the best parts of the SoulCalibur series.
It isn’t quite as top-notch as one of the recent Yakuza titles, but Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is still an overall enjoyable brawler.
Black Clover: Quartet Knights is a pretty average 3D anime fighter/action game that succeeds in some places and fails in others. Its skippy framerate and boring story may make it a tough sell for anyone who isn’t into Black Clover, but its controls and enjoyable gameplay firmly cement Quartet Knights’s place as an alright anime game.
No one can say that Fishing Sim World isn’t incredibly realistic. Unfortunately, this stalwart dedication to realism, alongside an abundance of bugs, makes the game a frustratingly slow slog that just inspires me to do some real fishing instead.
It may have a short, nonsensical story and amazingly poor voice-acting and writing, but Second Runner MARS looks great, is fun to play, and adequately fulfills every person’s fantasy of operating a giant robot suit in VR.
There are some novel ideas present in Naruto to Boruto: Shinobi Striker. Unfortunately, these ideas are either clumsily executed or too surrounded by unpolished design issues to truly shine.
It’s not an easy game to get into, but Divinity: Original Sin 2’s Definitive Edition rewards patient and dedicated players with a great deal of depth in every regard.
Marvel's Spider-Man completely understands both the character of Peter Parker, and what it is that makes a Spider-Man game fun. Though it has more than a few technical hiccups, Spider-Man is a fantastic action game that can only improve with future installments.
As antiquated as they may be by today’s standards, Shenmue 1 and 2 are classic and impressively forward-thinking games that overcome their technical issues with their epic stories and charming characters. They certainly aren’t perfect, but this well-made collection proves that they’re definitely worth revisiting.
Dragon Quest XI is one of the best games ever made. From its deep gameplay and charming characters to its gorgeous visuals and stunning music, Echoes of an Elusive Age is a game that no one should miss out on.
Yakuza Kiwami 2 takes everything that was great about its predecessors and, somehow, upgrades them in almost every way.
MXGP Pro looks nice and has better tutorials and handling than its predecessors, but its consistent glitches and slow load times keep it from being anything more than “alright”.
Though Volume Two doesn't have as many quality titles as its predecessors, the two stronger installments that it contains, alongside the impressive amount of side-content, make it a decent package for fans and gamers interested in Mega Man.
