When remaking a game, there are two general routes that developers can take.
Fans of the sport will get a kick out of EA Sports UFC 3.
For the first entry into a new generation, Monster Hunter: World wastes no efforts in making itself a sprawling experience with enough content to keep people going even without the planned free DLC quests.
Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory may not be a true sequel to the 2016 original, but it's a better version of a familiar experience.
The Inpatient's short duration and lack of entertainment value doesn't warrant its forty dollar price tag. For fans of Until Dawn, it does a decent job of filling in important information prior to the events of the original game. For everyone else, it's a dull experience that never quite feels like it's going anywhere worthwhile. Horror and VR are a natural fit, but with The Inpatient, it's clear that the pairing doesn't always work quite the way it should.
"What Ails You" keeps the stakes high as Wayne continues to juggle numerous issues and relationships within the city of Gotham. While the short runtime can make this episode seem a bit more like filler, the usually stellar voice cast and key moments help keep the momentum up during the penultimate episode.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is a rare gem in a sea of licensed games.
Thanks to an incredible and thought-provoking story, a cast of well-rounded characters, and simple yet highly effective gameplay, The Red Strings Club easily kicks off 2018 on the right foot when it comes to adventure games.
Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition is simply a fantastic fighter.
At its core, Genital Jousting is a decent and competent multiplayer game, but once you get your initial chuckles out of the way when it comes to its premise, it becomes clear that what you see on display isn't really going to rise above "decent" and "competent.
While InnerSpace struggles a bit on the technical side of things, the core game is a wonderful flight though worn out but still beautiful sci-fi landscapes.
Grab a comfy chair, snacks and maybe even some tissues to prepare for playing Umineko When They Cry – Answer Arcs. You'll be in for the long haul as the story twists and turns for at least fifty hours. While there were some slower story segments in the Question Arcs, there's none of that here. Every event feels completely Earth-shattering and reveals prove utterly satisfying. Any visual novel fan out there who has not yet read Umineko When They Cry needs to rectify this immediately.
While the actual RPG elements may initially appear thin at times, the well-delivered and genuinely funny writing is not only one of Golf Story‘s hidden traits, but something that will keep Sidebar's entrant a much talked-about title, even for a console that has already garnered a fair few highlights.
I'd be lying if I said my playthrough of A Hat in Time wasn't chock full of that same familiar sentiment on enjoying a game purely on its controls or even its tone which the developer paints in large and confident strokes.
Romancing SaGa II is not without its issues, but it's an entertaining title overall.
Hoshizora no Memoria -Wish upon a Shooting Star- provides slice of life fun for those who enjoy it, with a bit extra in the form of its mysterious elements and plenty of routes, but it can often become a slog to read between key moments.
I fell from Grace wants to be something it's not, with obvious pulls from certain media.
As cool as VR Fallout sounds, Fallout 4 is simply more enjoyable on the flat screen.
River City: Rival Showdown is a safe bet for those who enjoyed previous River City games.
Tiny Metal doesn't copy the Advance Wars formula — it improves it.
