But for a fan of the original DEAD OR ALIVE 6, this is a good pack only if you want almost all DLC in a single place, along with the promise of new, free content down the line.
Swan Song is part of a growing trend in the puzzle game genre that combines a unique mechanic with some heartfelt moments.
As a complete package, I think The Spell Brigade mostly delivers on what it wanted to provide. It’s fun to play, immersive, very intense, and you can also play it with friends. It’s grindy though, and even bosses won’t give you a ton of resources.
The Big Hollow: 1982 is a good detective game that gets just a little too repetitive and fails to innovate in any important way.
Voidling Bound is a great monster taming game. It offers a plethora of different species, and the ability to experiment as you try to make the best, most powerful monsters you can.
Reptilian Rising is a deep tactics experience that’s exciting on a turn-to-turn basis but struggles with its structural approach.
NBA THE RUN feels like a modern version of NBA Streets, and I mean that as a compliment. It has a great arcade gameplay, a curated roster of both street legends and NBA stars, but also some impressive courts. The games are short, but intense, and you’ll find yourself trying to attempt some more.
Terrinoth: Heroes of Descent is a good dungeon crawler that offers interesting hero archetypes and a variety of challenges to deal with. It becomes a great experience if players manage to recruit three friends, so that everyone can control one hero.
As someone who likes dungeon crawlers and survivor-like games, Skull Horde felt like home. It was great to play, with an interesting setting, wonderful 8-bit visuals and a very good gameplay loop. It also adds some complex systems like upgrades which help further enhance the gameplay and make it even more fun.
Stonemachia is one of those games that a lot of soulslike players will try to pick up automatically, as they want more content in this exciting genre.
I Hate This Place has some great fundamentals in place, and the game certainly knows how to create an excellent atmosphere. The fact that you can also try to go stealth mode or guns blazing is quite interesting, and it offers plenty of choice to the player.
I am happy to state that Gothic 1 Remake is a great game, and one that impressed me more than I was expecting. Having played the Remake’s demo, I was skeptical about this game being a true remake of the original. But it is, and a great remake at that.
The fact that it’s short is both a blessing and a curse for Mirage 7, because it feels like it could benefit from a few more chapters and a deeper story.
Hacked The Streamer might be a short game, but it’s an interesting FMV experience that certainly makes you question some of your choices.
Tides of Tomorrow does a great job at bringing a unique storytelling method to this genre.
Ink Inside does a great job at bringing its story to life, although the game is marred by some technical issues and performance problems.
The game has a beautiful story, where you wake up on a ship and try to figure out where to go and what to do on your own. It involves a lot of exploration, and you always need to be on your toes, because you never know what might happen next.
Moonsigil Atlas offers a cool new take on some already classic ideas.
Bus Bound’s experience becomes repetitive after a while, since the core loop forces you to do the same routes over and over.
007 First Light surprised me with its interesting story, beautiful locations, but also the Hitman-like gameplay combined with tons of action sequences.
