Grey Goo is a new spin on classic RTS. Without taking anything essential away they added in new ways to play, and new strategies to manage.
Overall, The Final Station isn’t adding anything too new or revolutionary to the zombie shooter formula gameplay wise, but at this point what really matters is your motivation and the atmosphere the game takes place in that helps a game succeed in this genre. Tiny Build packed The Final Station full of both of those things and the end result is a surprisingly genuinely suspenseful 2D experience that combines train maintenance with zombie slaying.
Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone has a specific target audience and I’m just not in it. Recognizing that, this game has merit. For fans of JPop and the Vocaloids, Project DIVA Future Tone is definitely worth buying!
If you are a fan of dungeon crawlers, you will likely find yourself having a good time with Vikings – Wolves of Midgard. Despite its lack of satisfying loot, the game brings forth some really great visuals and some interesting ideas to the dungeon crawler formula.
The “unboxing” mechanic breathes some life into the collectathon platformer and made it feel fresh.
For those who have never played Final Fantasy XII or fans of the original, or those who want to give it a second shot, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age is certainly the way to go.
It’s a fun twist on both Pikmin and 2D platformers. Though not as strong as the main entries of the series, Hey! Pikmin is worthy of the Pikmin name.
There are some unfortunate glitches that really hurt the ability to enjoy the atmosphere the game is trying to create. This doesn’t change the fact though that it is still a game worth checking out.
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a truly magical experience oozing in charm and fantasy. The game is a worthy sequel that surpasses the original.
Pillars of Eternity II gave me the tools and the inspiration to spin a yarn of my own design that rivals those told in my favorite epic fantasy series and novels with the opportunity to go back and do it all again and for that, Obsidian, I thank you.
For fans of mystery games and the lore of H.P. Lovecraft grab that Necronomicon and go nuts. For those who don’t fit into those categories, I’d recommend checking out a let’s play or two before diving into the madness.
The Last Remnant Remastered is an overall good experience, provided you have the patience to leave the game to read up on things that would normally be included in-game in a more modern gaming experience, or in an in-game guide or manual in the past.
While certainly playable as a solo experience, Remnant: From the Ashes truly shines as a cooperative multiplayer experience! Fans of Left 4 Dead, Monster Hunter, Destiny, and other cooperative driven games should definitely pick this up!
The Mana series is a piece of video game history and this collection is a definitive way to experience the first three titles of this phenomenal series.
Ni No Kuni is the same game on the Switch as it was on PS3, with the added benefit of portability and an overall more stable experience.
As it stands however, Torchlight II, a good game, stays a good game but some key features feel missing in the transition to console in the seven years since the initial release.
House House knew exactly what game they wanted to make and delivered spectacularly in it.
If you are a fan of RPGs and want to play something that mixes up the genre, I cannot recommend this game enough.
The Outer Worlds is in a prime position to make its mark on the genre, successfully combining aspects from a number of critically praised games like Bioshock, Borderlands, and it’s primary inspiration Fallout.
Red Dead Redemption 2 breaks the rules of the games I tend to enjoy. Lower on my preference list are both life simulators and open world, yet I found myself thoroughly engrossed in what was offered.
