4 / 5.0 - Collar X Malice
Jul 28, 2017

There is a reason that Aksys website for this game doesn't stress that this is an otome as the story is engaging for visual novel fans of all types. Collar X Malice is a well-crafted title that leans hard on its mystery and creates a sense of foreboding while keeping it from becoming too much. Idea Factory walked a fine line here and ended up with a cool, stylish experience for anyone that just wants to chill in an easy chair with a cool story.

Jul 27, 2017

The Darkside Detective is a charming point and click adventure with a taste for the sillier aspects of horror. Expect to see references to 80s and 90s pop culture while solving cases alongside the Darkside Division's finest. It's not the sort of game likely to stump players with inane item puzzles and that's a good thing. Some changes could have been made to further streamline the experience, but it works well enough without them.

3 / 5.0 - Sundered
Jul 27, 2017

Sundered has the basic foundation for a metroidvania/roguelike hybrid down pat, but its poor handling of enemy distribution and the otherwise fine combat that comes with it sadly drags it down.

3 / 5.0 - Lionheart
Jul 27, 2017

Lionheart gets a couple things right, but overall results in a rather forgettable and generic experience.

Jul 14, 2017

While what should be the biggest draw — the crossover and the story — falls flat on its face, Accel World vs Sword Art Online isn't a complete loss.

4 / 5.0 - Black The Fall
Jul 11, 2017

Black The Fall isn't exactly revolutionary when it comes to the world of atmospheric platformers, but it still excels in what it sets out to do.
