Nearly ten years later, Saints Row: The Third remains an anomaly in the open-world genre as so many continue to embrace seriousness and realism.
Neversong took me about three hours to complete, but its message resonated with me for far longer.
'80s Overdrive comes to the Switch in top form and stands even taller on the hybrid console than it did on the 3DS three years ago.
I haven't had a VR experience in the past that equaled what The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners was able to accomplish.
It's hard to go wrong with Hatsune Miku and all the other Vocaloids in one of the most enjoyable rhythm titles on Switch. Although everything about how to play is simple at face value, it gets more challenging the higher the difficulty goes and constantly challenges one's rhythm and ability to be alert without getting distracted.
The Wonderful 101: Remastered is a charming title with a ton of unique mechanics that make it almost intimidating to approach.
Infinite – Beyond the Mind is a finely-crafted game that blends several genres together.
Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl is tons of fun for fans of 8-bit brawlers.
Predator: Hunting Grounds is bolstered by its unique gameplay dynamics and beloved license, but falls flat thanks to unbalanced and repetitive matches as well as a general lack of polish.
Streets of Rage 4 doesn't do much to advance the formula of classic beat 'em ups and that's what makes it great. The game can be completed in roughly three hours, which is just enough for this type of game. Unlocking all the Easter eggs is a nice way to add to the nostalgia fix. Playing through with each character offers a slightly different game experience, but the real joy comes from playing these types of games with friends. Streets of Rage 4 is a must play for fans of retro beat 'em ups.
It's hard to knock a game like XCOM: Chimera Squad considering its price of admission at launch.
The addition of new bosses and items to acquire will naturally feel tempting — with some sufficient improvements to note on how said encounters have been designed — and providing you can tolerate the need to re-roll, Swamps of Corsus offers plenty for players to jump back into.
A Summer's End – Hong Kong 1986 provides a beautiful snapshot of a love story befitting of the time.
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.
