David Poole's Reviews
Kingdom Hearts III is a lot of things. One thing it definitely is not is a bad game. It's a solid entry to the series and can even bring about some strong emotions for those attached to the characters.
Fans will likely love it, though newcomers will probably have to take time to adapt and get used to it. While it’s a little overwhelming, it’s not beyond reason, and with practice, most players should become a top pilot in the game.
While not quite as good as the introductory episode, Rules still stands strong. Held back by a decision that some might not even come across, it just goes to show how many paths one can take.
For a budget No More Heroes experience with more content on the way, Travis Strikes Again is a fun ride.
Overall, Persona 5: Dancing in Starlight is a solid rhythm title for fans of the series. While the music could’ve used a bit more variety, the overall quality of the track list is still superb.
The game plays great and offers plenty of options for players to have the best Super Smash Bros. experience yet. It truly is an ultimate entry in this franchise, earning a rightful place in the Switch's expanding library of games.
As flashy and gorgeous as ever, SoulCalibur VI is ready to retell a tale of souls and swords for another eternity.
Overall, Life is Strange 2 — Episode One: Roads does well to open up a brand new story. Where it’s going, it’s hard to say at this point, but the characters are strong and the options bountiful.
Lara’s challenges and sacrifices all come full circle here, even offering a bit more light on her past. With Lara’s new origin story coming to a close, one must wonder where the developers want to take her next.
It may not be a perfect game, but it’s still great for local multiplayer fun. If the online was more active, it would be a much better experience.
While not quite a demo and not quite a full game, Captain Spirit is a great way to test the waters. Whether you’re a die hard Life is Strange fan or completely new to the series, Captain Spirit is worthwhile.
If you haven’t played Wild Guns: Reloaded on the PlayStation 4 or even on PC, then the Switch version is definitely worth picking up.
Telling a truly interesting story with lots of depth, the full deck is here, and the Joker is a wildcard. The player’s hand has been dealt, and now they just have to play it; it’s far too late to fold. This is your Batman creating your Joker, and the end result is a completely satisfying experience.
While the presentation takes a slight hit, the improved combat easily makes up for it. In a lot of ways, Ni no Kuni II is much better than its predecessor.
Monster Hunter: World is filled to the brim with quests, investigations, and several events. Multiplayer is easier than ever and the game offers tons of ways to experience this franchise, be it for the first time or for a series veteran.
It’s worth getting the deluxe edition just to experience Farewell, as no fan of Life is Strange should miss it. This short, but sweet bonus episode is truly remarkable in a way that few games can match.
FighterZ has a lot of shining moments, and while there are some minor issues, the gameplay and overall presentation easily make up for it.
The relationship between Bruce and John continues to blossom based on the choices of the player, and it shows here. Even with some slight shortcomings, What Ails You is a good way to lead into the season finale.
