There's no denying the quality of FFX, as it's often hailed by some as the last "good" JRPG Square Enix has made in the last 15 years, but there's already a much cheaper, slightly blurrier version of this compilation out there on the PS3.
Upgrading gear is no longer quite the marathon it once was, with players able to retain the stats of weapons, and even upgrade existing gear to meet the new performance caps that have come with House of Wolves. And this really is the expansion's biggest issue; the patch changes that are free to all are more important than the paid content.
The Order arrives as a short, decent game, not a console savior.
On the whole, there ARE performance gains in the move from the PS3 to the PS4, especially in the framerate department, but it's obvious that this hasn't been optimized. Compared to the work done for Grand Theft Auto V, with its new content, new view point and meticulously optimized performance, the work on Saints Row IV feels less accomplished.
It's one the more unusual, charming and relaxing indie efforts available on a consoles today.
This is another one of those games that's going to have a severe, divisive reaction among the gamers of 2014, depending on how old you are.
Ronan is dead, has become a ghost, and it's now his "unfinished business" to find his killer before he can move on..
There are some solid mechanics here that are marred by some significant issues, preventing the game from becoming a classic.
In the end, the entertainment value of Octodad rests on one all-important factor; what kind of sense of humor you, as a player, have. If you can laugh at the absurdity of game mechanics, then this game will be silly, goofy fun and well worth the $15. If, on the other hand, you get mad at any design failing that impedes your ability to win, this game will simply bore you at best, enrage you and make you put your foot through your TV at worst.
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition really is the best looking version of the game, managing to surpass even the PC version.
In many ways, the pre-sequel feels like a pleasant place-holder.
As a game, Xenoblade is still one of the best JRPGs available in years, and on that front, any fan of the genre who's never played it should buy it immediately if there's a new 3DS in the house. As a port, however, it's a less than stellar job, and people spoiled on improved remasters of old games are in for an unpleasant surprise.
It may not be a great rhythm/JRPG, but it's a solid FF rhythm game, and for fans, that's probably enough.
If you just want to scratch the JRPG itch while on the go, this is your game.
If you’ve got a Vita and you’re jonesing for a Final Fantasy Tactics clone that is not too deep, and incredibly silly, this is the game for you.
Ultimately, Re;Birth2 is not a top-tier JRPG in terms of polish, or even story, but it is a solid effort that looks very pretty on the Vita.
Farming Simulator 15 can provide a tranquil, educational and interesting virtual farming experience. However, at $50 for a hamstrung version compared to its PC sibling, the bugs and narrow gameplay make it difficult to easily recommend.
Koei doesn't seem very interested in appealing to new customers, because DW8 Empires assumes that you're thoroughly familiar with not just the DW franchise, but the Empires spin-off.
The Dark Below is just More Of The Same, which will be good for hardcore fans of Destiny that have accepted the game for what it is, but will be a disappointing for those that had hoped the game would change its direction.
This game was made for 12 year olds that watch the Fast & Furious movies and believe everything in them is real.
