Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star has a title that makes as little sense as its punctuation to an outsider, but it serves as the glue that holds everything together.
Despite its brevity ultimately doing some notable harm to it, Rise & Shine is still ultimately a solid platformer for the most part, one that has a lot of cute callbacks to classic video games while still having its own unique charm, along with some impressive graphics and nifty ideas sprinkled throughout.

Considering the efforts passionate fans went through to see this franchise have another entry, it comes off as surprising and unfortunate that Wayforward did not decide to take more risks by adding new characters and mechanics.
SuperHot VR is one of the best games VR has seen yet.
A lot of what I’ve just written may sound like I didn’t enjoy Let It Die that much, but no, I did enjoy it quite a lot indeed.
Perfect doesn’t do a lot — but what it does is executed very well.
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 shows its age visually, but is still as fun to play now as it was in 2011.
Drive!Drive!Drive! has the heart of a great arcade racer, but isn’t quite there yet.
Pinball is fun no matter which way you play it.
