Rifter is a fantastic neon-synth action platformer with a gorgeous, distinctive style and a rewarding challenge.
It's hard to talk about Mothergunship without mentioning Tower of Guns, but seeing as that was my go-to game for four months straight, I can't really consider that a problem.
Tempest 4000 is the final Llamasoft Tempest and an incredibly strong game to go out on.
Overall, Lost on Mars does have several moments of amusement, and while it might not achieve a true level of greatness it is entertaining enough to warrant a visit to Mars when someone needs a change of scenery from Montana.
Shining Resonance Refrain doesn't do too much to get away from JRPG tropes, but that might be part of its charm as some of its themes have been addressed in several JRPGs prior but that should come as no surprise to fans of the genre.
Ch.6 Tsumihoroboshi is an odd chapter. Although it fits fully within the confines of the Higurashi world, it feels thematically different from previous chapters. It's not a bad thing, though, as much as it's a much-needed change of pace after some terribly distressing chapters that came before it, such as Ch.3 Tatarigoroshi.
The Crew 2 comes off as appealing when looking at a spec sheet of what it has to offer.
The strange thing about The Lost Child is that, despite its many, many flaws, it still manages to be entertaining by virtue of being a bog standard, but competent, first-person dungeon crawler with a great pace of progress.
With Mario Tennis Aces, Nintendo has delivered a worthy successor to the N64 original.
Unravel Two is a quick journey, but one that does its predecessor justice.
The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit is a brief, but thought-provoking look into what awaits players when Life is Strange 2 begins its release on September 27.
Participating in my Sims lives without The Sims 4: Seasons is unthinkable now.
Hakoniwa Explorer Plus is entertaining but isn't extraordinary once you get past the novelty factor of the half-naked killer demon girls. For RPG standards the story and gameplay are enjoyable but shallow.
The core enjoyment of Lumines Remastered lies simply with playing it.
Sushi Striker is a new type of puzzle title that is fast-paced and requires a great deal of accuracy along with many different strategies.
For those who have been playing The Elder Scrolls Online consistently, Summerset is only a natural progression to continue with, but for people who have taken a break and are looking for an excuse to get back in the game or people who have been curious to start, this is a great place to resume or start an adventure.
Pokémon Quest might not have the same variety as many other spin-offs in the series, but it takes a simple idea and extends it into a good experience that encourages really trying to collect them all.
BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle doesn't do anything to revolutionize the crossover tag team fighting system, it simply sticks to a formula that has worked before and does a great job with it.
Onrush is the finest off-road racer ever made.
The new features, particularly the Resolve system, are cool, but the title still manages to feel incomplete. For those elite, it's best to wait until the next version.
