It may not reinvent the wheel for classic Grand Theft Auto experiences, but it’s nice that it keeps that spin going.
Out of all the retro compilations Konami has coming our way, Anniversary Collection is probably going to be the weakest. Its collection of games is questionable, especially with “classics” that are anything but. That said, though, it’s a sure-fire hit for fans of hard shooters, especially with the Life Force and Scramble games thrown in.
Everything about Cuphead just feels right, even all these months after its original release. As it stands right now, this game is nearly flawless in its own right, thanks to its responsive controls and signature style.
While Turok: Dinosaur Hunter doesn’t have long-term value like, say Anthem or The Division 2, it’s a fun throwback that will remind people of the classic days of gaming. It still plays like a champ and is a lot of fun to play.
This chapter of the series has something to offer for everyone with its array of characters, unpredictable story and impressive combat
If you love anything anime-based, or just want a different kind of adventure to play on your Nintendo Switch (or PS4 or Xbox One, the game’s on those platforms as well), RemiLore just might sweep you off your feet.
Pirate Pop Plus has its simple pleasures, but in the face of superior competition like Pang Adventures, it comes up just a bit short. Game Boy fans may want to give it a look, especially for its cheap price tag and entertaining gameplay, but don’t expect a fantastic voyage across the sea.
Even with mild inconsistencies with storytelling and some weird Titan skills, Titanfall 2 is everything we could’ve hoped for a sequel to be. Everything comes together quite beautifully here, from the fluid gameplay to the wonderful presentation, and whether you prefer single or multiplayer, there’s a lot to get through here.
Really, there’s not much good I can find with Mark McMorris Infinite Air. The control system is frustrating beyond belief, and the game provides minimal guidance when it comes to figuring it out and moving forward.
If you can look past the shortcomings (length, glitches) and enjoy the awesome experience that comes with Battlefield 1, you’ll find it to be a welcome addition to your library. It’s definitely found a spot in my best-of-year list.
