From prisoner prosecutors to astronaut defendants, the Ace Attorney series has built a reputation on turning legal proceedings into over-the-top battles for the truth. You’d think after five games, three spinoffs (two of which we’re unlikely to see in the West) and one crossover, every possible plotline would be played out, but the writers behind Ace Attorney just keep coming up with new scenarios, new gimmicks and new memorable characters. In fact, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice proves the franchise still has a lot of life in it yet, and ranks among its best entries.
Cyan effortlessly weaves creativity the way other developers can only dream of, and I’m excited to see where they can go from here.
When the gameplay fails to hold your interest, and the presentation doesn't offer any impetus to continue, I find it hard to recommend Mighty No. 9.
There is some elementary adventure to be found here, but new players looking for a real Sherlock Holmes experience would find better material in some of the previous installments.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End really does feel like the culmination of Naughty Dog's experiences, from Crash to Uncharted to certain influences from The Last of Us.
Huge, dark, haunting, beautiful, challenging, insanely fun – I could keep throwing adjectives at Dark Souls III but I probably still wouldn't do it justice.
Day of the Tentacle Remastered is a great presentation of a solid LucasArts adventure title.
Ultimately, Project X Zone 2 boils down to a healthy heaping of fan service for weebs, or anyone who's familiar with the franchises included. While the story can be slow and plodding, it also has some decent gags and a lot of self-awareness that helps drive each crossover encounter.
I'm no expert on Naruto, but even I became a fan after playing through Ultimate Ninja Storm 4. There's so much effort put into the presentation alone that it's hard not to be engaged, and the gameplay (while simple) allows you to play across a massive roster of characters for some really cool looking and feeling battles.
As part of a larger whole, the Wild Run content helps to make The Crew into the more complete experience it should have been, but by itself as DLC the price will likely be too high for all but the most devoted Crew fans.
Fallout 4 is full of these moments, enough to last a very long time, and if you can ignore the bugs and get into the story, you may find yourself addicted all over again.
