Cyber Shadow is an excellent game full of satisfying combat, smart level design, cool boss fights, driving music, and responsive controls.
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.
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.
Lightmatter is full of sarcastic, self-aware humor. The puzzles are incredibly well put together and satisfying to solve. Visually distinct with high contrast between light and dark areas, Lightmatter makes objectives clear.
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.
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.
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.
Making your way through the tower and uncovering more of the mystery and story is really enjoyable and the puzzles themselves offer enough challenge to make solving them satisfying without being too frustrating. It all comes together in a package that is appealing to not just me but my 5-year-old daughter too.
Showdown gives players even more ways to play around with and lets fans beat each other up as their favorite knight or side character! It is definitely a welcome addition to the trove.
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!
