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!
Between its varied puzzle mechanics, intuitive gameplay, and unique story presentation; Long Ago: A Puzzle Tale is a top-notch puzzler.
Playing Trenga Unlimited will make you sweat as you carefully place each of your pieces into the complex structure ahead of you.
If you're looking for a relaxing puzzle game with stages that might take a bit of time to work out then you can't go wrong with Motif.
It may seem like a relaxing little puzzle game but Eat your letters ends up being a frustrating mess that you'll regret playing.
Super Bomberman R Online is a literal and figurative blast with its well-adapted gameplay formula as well as its wealth of characters and unlockables. It's a bit buggy in its current state, though, so I hope it gets patched; like... a lot.
Biomutant is like the potato salad at a cookout. Some folks might like it and may even come back for seconds but nearly everyone else will wonder why the heck anyone would bother, especially because there's a huge stack of juicy steaks and burgers right there.
Just when I thought Earth Defense Force was becoming stale, World Brothers came along and renewed my faith in the franchise. Its bright voxel visuals act as the perfect reflection of its improved and varied gameplay as well as its excellent sense of humour.
I'm happy to be able to play through a great dungeon crawler again on newer hardware and with some cosmetic additions. However, I can only fully recommend getting void tRrLM();++ //Void Terrarium++ if you don't already own the original iteration.
