Despite some stumbles, Splash Damage has successfully taken the essence of the Gears franchise and transferred it into a turn-based strategy game.
Sakura Wars is a blend of adventure, visual novel, dating sim and action game.
While SnowRunner has a few quirks here and there, overall it's a fantastic game of exploration and brute-force driving.
Pong Quest overachieves and winds up delivering a top-notch game of Pong while also paying tribute to and expanding upon dungeon-crawling RPG tropes.
MotoGP 20 adds an underlying layer of improvement to what made last year's title so impressive.
It's unfortunate that such a shortfall with its story, its delivery of such and the utter lack of reason to care about what's going on, is so evident.
At this point, the first three original Mana titles have all received remakes.
That a game of such brief investment can't muster the strength or effort to get even the basics right is perhaps the most damaging thing you can say for a game like this.
Alyx is a trooper throughout the entire adventure, and while she can get freaked out by the places she needs to go, she never stops moving forward.
What players might expect out of Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories and what it actually is are two entirely different things.
It's hard to remake a beloved game.
One Step from Eden is an impressive feat of card-battling rogue-likes.
Bleeding Edge has a ton of potential, largely thanks to its fun and well-designed combat, colorful style and characters, and nicely-crafted levels and goals that emphasize the need for teamwork and strategy.
Animal Crossing has always been a series where every little thing leads to something productive.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered doesn't include the multiplayer and spec ops components.
Admittedly this is a game that requires players, from the word go, to get onboard with the idea that pace isn't paramount and that its complicated controls also serve the greater aesthetic on show.
Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is the best-playing entry in the long-running series.
A let down it is that Omega Force couldn't dedicate as much time to the visuals as they have done the source material, One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4 is still the kind of game — the kind of Musou too — that seemingly does the unthinkable in providing a ludicrous-yet-fulfilling action game regardless of its depth.
While you can't fault the visuals and the effort put in to try and mask the evident budget limitations, that cutting of corners vibe is sadly something that plays into The Complex one too few many times.
On its own, the remake of Resident Evil 3 is another hallmark achievement for Capcom. It may not satisfy purists of the original, but there's no reason that fans of what the RE2 remake accomplished won't enjoy this.
