If you are a fan of RPGs and want to play something that mixes up the genre, I cannot recommend this game enough.
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.
House House knew exactly what game they wanted to make and delivered spectacularly in it.
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.
Yacht Club proves yet again with King of Cards that they are masters of their craft, lovingly creating games that boldly mix genres and head in directions you’d never guess a traditional platformer would go. The card game mixes things up nicely, creating breaks of challenging card-based strategy in between action platforming.
Shredder’s Revenge is an absolute blast to play and I can easily see myself returning to it as often if not more often than Turtles in Time.
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.
The Last of Us Part II is a technical marvel of game design whose achievements can be completely overshadowed by a player’s reception of its story. While I sit comfortably in the camp of those who thoroughly enjoyed (if that is the right word as the story is often deliberately uncomfortable) the direction taken by Neil Druckmann and his team at Naughty Dog, I can see how people can walk away having had a completely different experience.
Simply said, Panzer Paladin is just super cool.
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.
Exit the Gungeon is a really fun follow up to the original.
If you loved Undertale, or are looking for an RPG that’s unconventional, don’t sleep on this game.
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.
Eastward is a gem of a title bringing wholesome storytelling, clever gameplay, and exceptional visuals that all hold their own even among the exceptional selection of indie titles currently available.
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.
