All in all, I was surprised that I had as much fun with Marvel’s Avengers as I did. I still dislike the loot system and the microtransactions keeping me away from the best costumes but there is a good Marvel game beneath these elements.
It’s a fun brain teaser with an extremely fun ending and there are enough options so that just about anyone can finish it. I recommend giving it a go.
Playing through The Forgotten City was a delightfully familiar, yet mysterious experience... This game has some moments that left my jaw on the floor.
Death’s Door is a game that shows incredible understanding of subtle components that make a game more than a sum of its parts.
NieR Replicant is a game that will stick with me, probably for the rest of my life.
It’s no surprise that I am absolutely in love with Monster Hunter Rise. This game takes a lot of lessons learned in Monster Hunter World and brings that into a more traditional Monster Hunter presentation with game-unique mechanics to explore. It’s a phenomenal entry to the franchise and a technical marvel on the Nintendo Switch platform.
Everhood is a weird game worth experiencing.
Before the Switch ports of these games, I didn’t have much interest in No More Heroes 3 or the franchise at all but now I’m eager to see where Travis Touchdown ends up.
Weird ending aside, Age of Calamity is one of the best Musou crossover games ever made. This game really does capture the visuals and sound that made Breath of the Wild special, it just lacks the somber tone that defined a generation.
Even though I didn’t much care for the adventure as a whole, I am glad to now have the context of this first outing for Travis Touchdown.
