Justin Oneil's Reviews
Maneater, in my opinion, is one of the surprise video game hits of 2020. While the mission variety runs out quick, I somehow never got tired of just swimming around and munching on things. Using the nutrients from doing that to upgrade my shark in new ways was addictive and going back to newly opened up areas was enjoyable.
If you want Hatsune Miku on the go this is a great option to add to your library.
I’ve been enjoying my time with Predator: Hunting Grounds but it leaves plenty of room for skepticism. For a $40 product it really lacks content right now and it needs further improvements in some key areas to be great. That said you can tell a lot of care went into making sure the Predator played great and that the game felt like the original movie. If you can get a good group together you can have a lot of fun with this one.
When I went in to review this game I didn’t know what to really expect out of it but I came out of it as a fan and as someone who hopes to see more Sakura Wars in the future. The combat is kind of mindless but I feel like the strong story and character development along with a great visual style and audio work makes up for it. There is room to improve but this Sakura Wars reboot left a great impression on me.
Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories isn’t quite a disaster but it does have quite a few things wrong with it you need to keep in mind before jumping in. Getting to visit a Japan hit by disaster and have the opportunity to interact and choose whether to help people can be fun. It’s just a shame that the game looks and performs poorly and has some questionable design choices and writing in it.
As a fan of horror games I would recommend you play Moons of Madness at some point if you enjoy the genre.
Three years ago Persona 5 sunk its hooks into me and kept me playing for well over 100 hours until I rolled credits. Now three years later Persona 5 Royal has done it to me again. While much of the experience was the same Persona 5 game I had already played some nice new changes made it better in ways I didn’t know I wanted. Not only that but the new content such as Kasumi, the new palace, and new places such as the Thieves Den and new area of Tokyo made it all worth it.
If you weren’t familiar with Langrisser there has never been a better time to acquaint yourself with it.
The game is fun to play, there just isn’t enough of it
2020 appears as if it will be big for the blue hedgehog so why not pick this up on your Switch and get ready for the ride.
Sega Ages Puyo Puyo 2 is another fine addition to the ever growing lineup of classic Sega games on the Switch.
Fans of Double Dragon and/or Kunio-kun can find a lot in this collection to enjoy but some things hold it back from being a must have.
As a fan of character action games such as these I can’t recommend the Bayonetta and Vanquish 10th Anniversary Bundle enough. Both games still look good even a decade later and performance wise they’ve never been better especially on the PlayStation platform.
Darksiders Genesis may not be the continuation of the story that many of us are waiting for but its attempt at taking an established franchise and turning it into a fun dungeon crawler was successful.
Some things can be improved like the bugs and amount of horde maps but overall this one is worth dying for.
Code Shifter looked cool to me when I saw it but after playing it I walked away feeling pretty disappointed.
7th Sector is an immersive, atmospheric puzzle game and despite some frustrating puzzles it’s well worth checking out.
There are far better JRPGs out there to play than this so avoid it unless you can find it on a deep, deep sale.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics has some flaws but overall I walked away feeling good about it.
Skellboy is an enjoyable enough adventure title that I’d recommend giving it a shot at some point.
