Asher Madan's Reviews
Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris features many compelling ideas, but its technical foundation needs more work.
Hunting Simulator 2 is an addictive open-world game, but it may have limited appeal due to its genre.
Remnant: From the Ashes - Swamps of Corsus is a good expansion that provides closure to one of the major plot holes in the base game.
Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath adds a handful of popular fighters, but the story falls short in comparison to the base game.
Saints Row: The Third Remastered is a quirky and addictive action game that's one of the best remasters on Xbox One.
Maneater is a quirky and addictive role-playing game that every Xbox One owner should play.
SnowRunner is an incredibly challenging and rewarding trucking simulatior despite some minor flaws.
Both Kingdom Hearts collections are excellent remasters that look and run superbly on Xbox One X.
Yakuza 0 is a quirky and addictive action game that every Xbox One owner should play.
One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a great fighting game, but its open levels need more work when it comes to the voice acting and animations.
Even to this day, Bayonetta and Vanquish are among the top of the action game genre. I just wish some greater changes were implemented to make them shine on Xbox One X. Right now, the bundle seems like it just appeals to existing fans, and that might be its biggest problem because it lacks any noticeable refinements aside from the boost to resolution and performance.
Pillars of Eternity II is a good game, but the Xbox One port needs more polish.
If you're looking for a reason to get back into The Surge 2, The Kraken is a good one. The base game has a lot of replayability because of "New Game +" mode that adds even more powerful weapons and challenges. The two put together offer a compelling experience because you can become truly unstoppable with the help of The Kraken's side quest.
Overall, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is a good game, but it may not appeal to everyone. If you've seen the anime series, you know what to expect already. This can make the entire game seem a bit dull because there are no surprises. However, if you're looking for an experience where you can relive the best Dragon Ball Z moments – and get immersed in an open world with varying environments – then you should pick it up.
Darksiders Genesis is a great top-down action game despite some minor issues.
Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey is a great survival game with an extremely steep learning curve.
Shenmue III is a good game, but feels quite dated.
Citadel: Forged with Fire is a good game, but needs more polish.
Destiny 2: Shadowkeep elevates the gameplay, but falters on a storytelling front.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint is a great shooter that gets repetitive after a while.
