I'm stoked that Mushihimesama is at long last available on console in the west as it's one hell of a great shoot 'em up. Here's hoping this means that the superior sequel Mushihimesama Futari will be on its way to Switch in the near future!
Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade is the best way to experience the monumental ARPG and its Episode Intermission is a top-notch piece of DLC that's much more riveting than I was anticipating. I recommend it to anyone who's even remotely interested.
Playing Mighty Goose made me reminisce about Metal Slug and it's fittingly just as fun with its humorous action-packed campaign.
Astalon: Tears Of The Earth feels like a long-lost NES game that gamers would still be playing 3 decades after its initial release.
Out of all the indies I've played recently, Stonefly stands out as one of the most unique and immersive; I highly recommend playing it.
It may not be everyone's flagon of grog but I had an excellent time with King of Seas and will continue to until I dominate the high seas.
Diving deeper and deeper into the customization elements of Metal Unit makes its tight action-packed gameplay thoroughly enjoyable.
If you want a challenging platformer that often feels like a puzzle game then Sunblaze will be a welcome addition to your digital library.
I absolutely loved my time with Tiger Trio's Tasty Travels from its challenging puzzles to its adorable graphics. A must-have for all ages!
I had a lot of fun with Boxed In and its intuitive yet challenging score-chasing mechanics but that fun is best enjoyed in short bursts.
Ninja Gaiden is awesome and this Master Collection includes a trilogy of intense action games that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. However, the fact that the featured games are basically ports with no extra content is kind of disappointing.
As a learning tool, Game Builder Garage provides an easy-to-follow experience that makes learning the basics of game programming fun. With that in mind, there are definitely more comprehensive and robust ways to create games on console.
Once Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart's credits rolled, I was impressed by the adventure that I just went on. With that being said, I couldn't help but want to dive into the original games again to have a more visceral and challenging experience.
Neptunia ReVerse is a wonderful iteration of a lovely RPG classic that both fans and newcomers can enjoy. With oodles of content, a nifty new mode, and even a fishing mini-game; it's hard not to have a blast while playing through Neptunia's debut adventure on PS5.
Guilty Gear -Strive- rocked my socks off with its gorgeous visuals, kick-ass music, and tight fighting gameplay. I can't wait until it releases so I can spend hours beating up all sorts of folks in its impressive online multiplayer mode.
Alphadia Genesis 2 may be worth playing for its impressively nuanced story as well as its rewarding end-game challenges but besides that, it can be quite a tedious experience with a battle system and dungeon designs that generally work against it.
It may look like a simple game yet LiEat offers an impressively immersive world that makes its memorable cast of characters stand out.
Skellboy was a fun and underrated game yet this Refractured version really stands out as a much-improved iteration and I admire that.
If you're in the market for a punishing 2D action game that can be rewarding at times then you may enjoy what Wicce has to offer.
I'm so impressed with Eagle Island Twist that it made me regret not discovering the original earlier. What a fantastic 2D platformer!
