Mikhail Madnani's Reviews
Puyo Puyo Tetris is a great puzzle mashup game with loads of game modes and a robust online mode offering a fun experience.
Cities: Skylines is a blast to play on Xbox One, but I wish they hadn't left out the fast forward feature and also added the other expansion that are available on PC to this release.
Flinthook would have been a much better game with handcrafted levels as opposed to being a roguelite and one that needs some tweaking visually.
TumbleSeed had the potential to really be this year's Spelunky or Isaac with its amazing visuals and music design but it throws far too much at the player early on making it a tad more frustrating than fun.
The Caligula Effect is an average JRPG with a memorable soundtrack that has some ambitious ideas for mechanics, but fails in executing them in a constructive manner.
Operation Babel is a good dungeon crawler but not even close to Experience Inc's best work or most of the competition on Vita.
Period Cube is a good otome visual novel with great visuals, interesting characters, and nice music but one with a derivative and cheesy story that let it down.
Akiba's Beat is a tedious action RPG that has very few redeeming factors and one that has made me appreciate Akiba's Trip even more and that is saying something.
Disgaea 5 Complete is the best version of Disgaea 5 and a great strategy RPG that is well worth your time.
Utawarerumono: Mask of Deception is a great visual novel for fans of the slice of life genre and one that made me want the sequel right now.
Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is one of the best fighting games available today and one that is brilliant for both newcomers and veterans alike.
Valkyria Revolution is an average action RPG with some strategy elements that is held back by way too many issues and only really has its soundtrack working in its favour.
Tokyo Xanadu is basically Falcom trying to create a Persona like game with their own signature flavour and a pretty damn good experience overall.
Deemo is a worthy addition to the Vita's growing collection of music games.
The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is my favourite version of the game having played it across literally everything it has released on.
Namco Museum is a very good collection of some arcade classics that is let down by its asking price and two of the games included.
Flip Wars is not worth buying at all right now and it needs a lot of work to come close to being decent let alone good.
Graceful Explosion Machine is a must play for arcade shooters with its precision gameplay, accessibility, and presentation.
It's Spring Again is a lovely little interactive experience that lasts under 15 minutes teaching you about the seasons.
Patapon Remastered is let down by an input lag issue and some low resolution assets ruining an otherwise fantastic game.
