Angelo D'Argenio's Reviews
Valorant isn't trying to appeal to everyone. It's trying to appeal to a hyper focused slice of the hardcore shooter fanbase. If that sounds like you, you will absolutely love it.
Maneater is a game that could have been good but was too obsessed with forcing players to interact with its low points to make its high points shine.
Granblue Fantasy Versus is a fantastic game and an early pick for fighting game of the year.
If you are a fan of One Punch Man you'll probably get a kick out of A Hero Nobody Knows but don't expect it to keep you playing long. For every minute of brilliance there is an hour of grinding to go along with it, and that's trying even for the most dedicated fans of the Caped Baldy.
Dreams is really something special. Frankly, I'd like to see other game development tools come with curation suites like this. It would change the way we look at game design. Now if only these dreamers could get paid for their work…
Sorry Netflix, but this one needed another QA pass. I will be the first to admit that I didn't finish Age of Resistance Tactics. All it did was make me want to watch the Netflix series again, and I did! Because it's awesome! But I didn't need a $20 game to remind me of that.
In the end, Pokémon Sword and Shield is a decent Pokémon game that will keep you playing until the end. It doesn't deserve all the controversy it's been getting, but it's not a particularly stand out entry in the franchise either.
Death Stranding isn't for everyone, but if you are looking for a neat experimental exploration of the fetch quest, you'll enjoy it. If you are looking for something more traditional, though, you should probably look elsewhere.
Afterparty is a fantastic story about booze, buds, and the nature of good and evil. It's just not much else.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is a nice spooky treat for your Switch. Anyone who loved the original will love this one too, and the game is easily welcoming enough to rope some newcomers into the franchise as well. How could anyone find issue with a game whose menu screen is a Virtual Boy? Ah, Nintendo. You know how to laugh at yourself.
