WWE 2K Battlegrounds is striking for its simplicity. It is the game equivalent of a popcorn flick. This is something goofy, simple, affordable, and likely intended to be enjoyed in brief bursts.
If someone likes the Genkai Tokki series, I think there is a very good chance they will like and want to own Moero Crystal H. It completes a set, even though it is self-contained. It follows a lot of the same patterns, but then that’s really the goal. For people not familiar with it, well, it’s basically an average dungeon-crawler with a first-person perspective and turn-based battles.
There are times I loved Moon. I really enjoyed training Tao and adore my Gramby. I liked talking to and reviving flowers. There were also times when I felt completely lost and flummoxed, wondering what it is I was supposed to do.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is full of the sorts of complexities and nuances that make you want to double back and analyze the script, lore, and artwork in every scene.
Basically, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 is a perfect remaster. It feels the way you expect the game to and has everything I loved about these two games. Everything looks more gorgeous than ever before. You have extra tasks in the original levels. There are incentives to keep going back into all of the levels to complete tasks, unlock new customization options, get stat points, and work toward getting over 700 Challenges done. There’s a great multiplayer option. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 isn’t just as good as you remembered, it’s better.
Aokana is one of those romantic visual novels where yes, you are eventually trying to win over one of your classmates. But, it’s structured in such a way that the journey, your school life, and the Flying Circus team you help coach feel equally important.
Perhaps the best thing of all is how Spiritfarer builds, grows, and ends.
Madden NFL 21 is a game that is generally fine.
In general, Nexomon Extinction is a novel Pokemon-like. Its story is quite enjoyable and packed with personality, humor, and even some twists about the state of the world. There are lots of cool monsters who are really appealing, with movesets you could really work with and build parties around. But it doesn't have everything you might expect from a game in this genre, since there's no multiplayer element. Also, it can feel quite tedious due to the rate of experience you earn and amount of money you (aren't) getting. Still, it's definitely worth a look, especially when you consider its price.
I think the problem is that Best Friend Forever is trying to do several things at once and isn’t really doing any of them well.
It's just that you can really tell how old Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition is. There's some good stuff here and it is definitely a piece of gaming history that should be honored and remembered. It just doesn't compare to more modern conveniences in cooperative RPGs, and things like needing to constantly create new lobbies or make sure you have a certain number of party members can hold you back.
Still, even with the small nitpicks, there are quite a few things to enjoy in a low-pressure game like Giraffe and Annika.
Honestly, DanMachi deserves better. It is a story where all of the elements you would need are built into it, but somehow the game missed all of that.
Gundam Extreme Vs Maxiboost ON may not be completely perfect, but it is a game people have been waiting for. It brings a classic arcade experience home, giving people everything to enjoy. It drives you to do better with its offline and online, solo and multiplayer modes. There are even cosmetic unlockables to encourage you further. It's the sort of game that can become a staple, due to how much it offers and the investment required to truly "git gud."
Gust’s Fairy Tail game is one of those adaptations where it feels like the developer really understood what people love about the series.
Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game that has Sucker Punch taking its shot at telling its own samurai story. The combat feels great; and you have a lot of freedom when it comes to building up Jin. It’s simply a stunning way to say goodbye to the PS4.
There is fun to be had with Paper Mario: The Origami King.
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town’s Switch port is a means of preserving the past while gradually adjusting it so it is slightly more in tune with modern sensibilities.
Catherine: Full Body is about the prices people are willing to pay, in more ways than one.
I haven’t played any otome game like Palais de Reine before. It is a wholly unique and fascinating experience.
