I'm of two minds when it comes to Code Vein. On one hand, it's a serviceable and surprisingly delightful Souls-like game that comes with its own flair.
What could you really expect from a fast food advertisement in the form of a visual novel? For what it is, you'll get about an hour of humorous — but not hilarious — story to experience.
Copen was originally featured as a playable character in Azure Striker Gunvolt 2, but being given his own title has made him shine amazingly.
Overall, Cat Quest II is a fantastic adventure that's easy to recommend for players of any age.
It's hard to go into what makes AI: Somnium Files so extraordinarily great without spoiling key elements, but it's truly a title that grips quickly and doesn't let go.
Let it be known that one needs to really play Sayonora Wild Hearts in order to truly experience it.
FIFA 20 has Volta at the center of its marketing and successfully introduces a mode that has real potential, but it's not the experience that reinvents the franchise.
What the Golf is the ultimate parody of the titular sport by boiling it down to its fundamentals and constantly upending the player's expectations to create a humorous and memorable game.
Contra: Rogue Corps tries to maintain the essence of Contra while changing the gameplay mechanics into something that doesn’t remotely resemble classic Contra.
Link's Awakening was a massive hit when it was first released, and today it's still just as amazing as it was 26 years ago.
In many ways, The Surge 2 does come off as a significant step-up from the 2017 original — Deck13 offering proof that they're listening to feedback and critique prior not only exists but has been implemented more importantly.
A modern mech title that can easily be a gateway drug to hours of fast-paced action, there's noting else quite like Daemon X Machina on Switch. While its story falls a bit short, it's still enjoyable and intriguing enough of a ride to keep up with even when confusing.
The Sojourn is a gorgeous first-person puzzler bursting with clever design and a rich atmosphere.
Survios has another winner on its hands with Battlewake. Instituting an anti-sea sickness technology should allow people who are more prone to this to actually enjoy the game.
The phrase, "doesn't do anything particularly new," is apt to describe Borderlands 3.
Konami has brought enough on paper to attract new fans to eFootball PES 2020.
Be it alone or with friends (though the latter is the more recommended option), Heave Ho is still a truly unique and challenging platforming adventure with a ton of charm.
Praise be to Blasphemous, for it's an impressive game that has truly joined together the peanut-butter-and-chocolate-style union that is souls-likes and metroidvania games.
It would be misleading to ignore the many borrowed ideas and means to appease long-time fans of past WRPGs and current action RPGs alike.
NASCAR Heat 4 gets it right with properly replicating NASCAR and the racing is the best the series has seen.
