This kind of RPG may not be for everybody, but it is one thousand percent for me. If you too long to recapture what I've described, you would be a fool to turn down Octopath Traveler.
Whether you're new to the game or coming back for more, Sonic Mania Plus is worth your time and attention.
Ultimately, Rainbow Skies is a fascinating exercise in time.
I'm hesitant to recommend this game at the moment. New Gundam Breaker is beset with technical issues, yet it's possible those will be wrapped up soon. There are some roadblocks to counter even if this game ran perfectly, however.
The controls, the level design, and the lore all feel like precise expressions of the developers' complete vision. Yet I must attach that age-old caveat: this game will remorselessly kick your ass, leaving you hardly a heartbeat before the boot comes whistling your way again.
While I continue to lament the lack of certain exceptional titles, the wide range of games being offered helps ease that pain. If you're looking to dive back into the Sega library without hauling out old hardware, the Sega Genesis Classics collection is a fine choice.
For me, six out of twelve is pretty much enough to justify the price of entry. Grabbing each of those games individually, even on last-generation hardware, would still be pretty expensive. If you're a die-hard Street Fighter acolyte, there's no question about it: the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is a must-have.
Slavish adherents to modern sensibilities may wish to look elsewhere. However, if you're looking for a blend of fast-paced fun and familiar flaws, you can't go wrong with this game.
Sadly, my beleaguered appreciation of The Watchmaker's aesthetic polish was not enough to carry me all the way through to the end. As it happens, I am brimming with caustic vitriol for timed dungeons of any sort, which you may notice is like, this entire game. I struggled mightily to push as far as I could, yet the infuriating sensation of constant dread built into this game's bones utterly broke me.
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles does its best to present you with a steady stream of breathtaking vistas, serene escapes and idyllic moments that snap to a picture frame with flawless ease. The core game has all of its slight flaws that came with the other versions, but I found that taking time to frame and save some of what I saw gave me a deeper appreciation of Yonder's many high points.
If this will be your first time playing Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, you can scarcely afford to pass this up. With a fresh set of eyes, this is an absolute home run from Nintendo.
If you're a fan of CRPGs or just RPGs in general, you can't go wrong with Tower of Time.
I was compelled to continue, if only so the game didn't get the best of me.
While I started out frustrated, every hour I invested in Titan Quest paid off in full.
I'm entranced by the world on display, but I dread having to navigate it.
Being forced to run around and making frantic repairs in order to stay alive forges an intimate connection between you and the ship
Why on Earth would you keep the gameplay totally intact when it's so terribly flawed?
Everything I've seen suggests that this is the version you want if you've never played any of the Bayonetta games before.
If the final product doesn't hold together, then the key components are irrelevant.
In spite of my cruel and cutting remarks, I still enjoyed Lost Sphear.
