Danreb Victorio's Reviews

Danreb is SmashPad.com's Executive Editor and Head of Content. In addition to his work at SmashPad and having bylines on GameSpot and Temple of Geek, he was a Community Manager with EA from 2016 to 2024. Writing about games since the age of 15, this 34-year old continues to grind to one day get paid to do what he loves doing: writing and talking about games.

The result is a well balanced game that really shows off some much needed depth that the Kirby series has really lacked up until now.

If you’re someone who’s wanted Pokémon to take the next step as far as gameplay and being different, this one is it.

This is the best beat-’em-up game I’ve played since Streets of Rage 4, and I cheesed through that too.

the game is an absolute blast to play and features an impressive amount of polish, but there really isn’t enough content in here to keep it an evergreen title

The bottom line is while Far Cry 6 doesn’t do enough to separate itself from the series, the sheer amount of content alone and the solid narrative make it a worthy purchase.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits is one of the best looking games you’ll ever play, and if you can find your way around its old-school feel and difficulty, you’ll probably make yourself a fan of Ember Lab and look really forward to what they put out next.

There’s promise in this kind of game, but it lacks the polish that definitely could’ve benefitted from more time in the oven–especially with how needlessly difficult the arcade minigames are.

The game also features some extra content to give you a greater feel for its superb cast, so I simply can’t recommend these games enough.

Everything from its overall look, the amazing orchestral soundtrack, its mostly tight combat, and exquisite level design makes the fact that Acid Nerve is primarily made up of four people simply astounding. Devolver Digital has published no shortage of fantastic games, and Death’s Door just might be the new crown jewel. This is a game that’ll put Acid Nerve over as one of the top indie teams out there, and I simply can’t wait to see what they have next.

At that, Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is, by most accounts, Ratchet & Clank perfected, so if you’re a fan — you definitely owe it to yourself to pick this one up if you have a PS5.

The main thing that makes Doki Doki Literature Club Plus worth anyone’s time is the fact that even four years since its original release, it’s still a shocking and unique experience.

In the end, INTERmission is some pretty fun gaming, but it’s not worth spending another $60 on Intergrade unless you’re actually interested in replaying the game on PS5.

Like The Missing Heir before it, The Girl Who Stands Behind features an enjoyable and thought-provoking story, but its style of gameplay will take some getting used to whether you’re a connoisseur of visual novels or not.

For the sheer amount of content alone, New Pokémon Snap is well worth the price of admission especially if you already have an idea of what to expect. However, if you’re expecting the game to move the needle as far as real advancements in gameplay over the last 20 years, you’re not going to find that here.

$20 is a good price for the amount of enjoyment there is for Tools Up!, but given its age, you probably would be right to wait for a sale when the discount is more significant.

JRPG fans should know what to expect here. JRPGs are typically a slow-moving grinds, and Bravely Default II is no different. If you’ve never been a fan of the genre, it’s tough to envision this game changing your mind.

Lost Words: Beyond the Page is a short but enjoyable and heartfelt experience that anybody looking for a chill game to play should try out.

It Takes Two is the absolute best cooperative experience you’ll find in the medium, and I can’t wait to see what they do next.

The careful integration of culture mostly through writing and basic level design is really what makes the game really special. I’ve been putting off my first Japan trip for years, and now since I can’t travel, Persona 5 Strikers sort of scratches that itch.

Super Mario 3D World is about as close to perfect as you can get with a Mario game, and the fact that it features online multiplayer makes it even better, but what really makes the package worth the $60 is the fact that you have one of the best Mario titles with a new game thrown in.
