GamingBolt's Reviews

The Enhanced Edition isn't a major overhaul, some original issues like the clunky UI and awkward camera still persist. In return, you get improved visuals and high-resolution textures. But even with its flaws, Neverwinter Nights 2 and its Mask of the Betrayer expansion continue to offer exceptional storytelling that holds up remarkably well. Play it for the nostalgia.

An easy recommendation for fans of the series, Patapon 1 + 2 Replay still carries much of the same charm - and annoyances - of the original releases.

If you're a college football fan, this year's EA offering is a no-brainer. Even for newcomers, it's worth checking out thanks to the impressive customization and depth packed into the game. Coaches now have realistic counterparts, while new archetypes and a revamped transfer portal add meaningful layers to Dynasty mode. There are some hiccups, like persistent online lag, but overall, the series is clearly on a winning trajectory.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 had it made with stellar gameplay and visuals but ultimately chose to forego some of the most essential parts of the original games. The results are fun but far from the best outcome.

Still Wakes the Deep presented an intriguing tale to build off of, but Siren's Rest isn't it, wasting its lead's impressive performance and failing to provide any real - or interesting - answers.

Death Stranding 2 delivers stunning visuals, refined stealth-focused gameplay, and a richly detailed world brought to life by excellent audio and a memorable cast. It meaningfully evolves the original's mechanics, though its unique style will still divide fans.

8 / 10.0 - Rematch
Jun 23, 2025

Rematch does a good job of providing a bite-sized arcade football experience that's backed by smooth performance and simple controls, making it easy to pick up and play. While its early access period brought matchmaking issues and a bit of lag to the table, SloClap has committed to resolving these issues in future updates. As it stands, Rematch is certainly worth a go, for both casual and veteran football fans.

7 / 10.0 - FBC: Firebreak
Jun 17, 2025

As Remedy's first co-op shooter, FBC: Firebreak is a successful experiment, and while it doesn't quite match up to the best in the genre, the Oldest House is still a good stage for some creepy, frenetic action.

6 / 10.0 - Tron: Catalyst
Jun 17, 2025

TRON: Catalyst leverages the mythos of its long-running setting for an intriguing premise, one hampered by middling combat and objectives.

Hitman: World of Assassination – Signature Edition delivers a robust stealth-sandbox experience on the Switch 2, packed with content and fully portable. However, the absence of docked VRR support and missing Switch-specific features like gyro aiming or mouse compatibility is a letdown. Still, for fans or those without access to other platforms, it remains a compelling option.
