Evan Norris's Reviews
Difficulty spikes and repetitive mission design prevent it from joining the ranks of From Software's modern-day masterpieces, but altogether it's a competent mech action game.
A nice one-stop shop for the most important adventures of the franchise.
This is a game worth trying—just not on Switch.
Streets of Rogue combines the experimental elements of Deus Ex with random world generation and permadeath to create a winning top-down rogue-lite.
yperlight Ultimate is a fun little non-shooter.
Super Mutant Alien Assault might be the Citizen Kane of Super Crate Box clones, but in the larger scope of video games it's more of a summer popcorn flick—diverting, good-looking, but ultimately lacking the depth to become a classic.
If you adore Contra, you will absolutely love this game.
Once again, ACE has taken two incompatible genres and merged them into a solid product.
A competent, corny role-playing game with a lively battle system, dozens of recruitable characters, some narrative woes, and too many game-ending crashes.
The Contra collection finishes Konami's 50th birthday bash in style.
By combining the legal proceedings of Ace Attorney with the visceral combat and open-world hijinks of Yakuza, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has turned in a new, but familiar property.
Gato Roboto is everything you'd expect from a Metroidvania and, importantly, everything you'd want.
It's not as refined or as well-paced as some of the stalwarts of the genre, and its story mode is a let-down, but it's still a clever puzzle-fighting hybrid with many different modes
taken as a whole this second part of Konami's year-long birthday celebration is a worthwhile trip to the past.
Redout is a decent racing experience overall, chiefly for fans of moribund franchises like WipEout and F-Zero.
A serviceable sandbox shooter with wasted potential.
Shakedown: Hawaii has a lot to do and see, and maybe even more to say.
There's a lot to like here, for folks who crave cerebral strategy, reflex-based racing, and a good sense of humor.
Mortal Kombat 11 is an outstanding fighting game with new, more deliberate mechanics, a spectacular story mode, and loads of online and offline content.
Built according to the structure of Nintendo's 1988 take on ice hockey, it's an accessible arcade sports game that's particularly fun in local four-player bouts.
