GBAtemp's Reviews
With its gorgeous looks, intriguing universe and well executed companion mechanic, Planet of Lana easily charms the player into partaking in its adventure.
Tears of the Kingdom is the natural evolution of Breath of the Wild, and builds upon the foundations laid six years ago magnificently. Featuring an open world full of life and gameplay mechanics limited only by your creativity, it is a gem I can wholeheartedly recommend.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor does a strong show of force with its satisfying combat, captivating animations and cinematic presentation.
Dredge offers a refreshing experience with an interesting mix of ambiance and gameplay.
ShowGunners is a fantastic-looking game that delivers violence and gameplay in droves. If you're looking for something none-too taxing then this could be right up your alley! Not sure yet? Try the demo first!
Case of the Golden Idol is an innovative and truly engaging detective masterpiece.
Drawing surprising parallels to Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker’s mechanics, Mr Sun’s Hatbox delivers an overall enjoyable indie experience.
Introducing interesting and original mechanics, Cassette Beasts revamps the monster collector genre with a much-needed fresh coat of paint.
Bayonetta Origins is a bold move for the larger Bayonetta series, but it's one I think really paid off. It's a slower and more methodical tale of a more timid witch finding her feet, and it's a tale magnificently told. With a free demo available on the eShop, it's a game I encourage you to check out.
Across the Valley is a basic game that can be incredibly rewarding if you're willing to put in the hard yards. Hampered by movement issues and the usual VR-related snags: Across the Valley could definitely be improved upon to provide a better experience in its idyllic little world.
Resident Evil 4 may not be as revolutionary as the original was, but it pays tribute to that game in a respectful way without losing its own identity. This is a solid remake, and an overall fantastic game, that any Resident Evil fan should be pleased to add to their library.
Set in an original yet eerily familiar universe, The Last Worker stands out with its presentation but could have benefited from a more diversified gameplay.
Despite its original experimental premise, The Forest Cathedral suffers from an unpolished execution.
An overwhelmingly positive experience. Combat is satisfying from start to finish, with a large variety of content for the player to dive into. A fun and unique take on the typical Three Kingdoms setting, with plenty of familiarities drawn from KOEI's other games. While it has its flaws, they're mostly minor and really does nothing to diminish the overall experience. Team Ninja clearly learned from their mistakes, so anyone hesitant because of Nioh has nothing to worry about here. It's time to grab a weapon and fight for the future of the Three Kingdoms.
For the most part, Octopath Traveler II plays it safe but the end result is still engaging and compelling.
Incorporating most of the highs from the mainline games, Like a Dragon: Ishin! delivers a compelling “Yakuza with samurai” standalone experience.
Meg’s Monster is a short but sweet indie game that stands out with its heartwarming plot and an interesting twist to its turn-based combat mechanics.
Far from delivering an out-of-this-world experience, Deliver Us Mars intensifies tedious and unintuitive mechanics from the first entry that even its compelling voice acting cannot save.
Developer Mundfish impresses with its debut title, Atomic Heart set in an original, well-detailed and gorgeous-looking universe.
Kayak IS an experience more than a "game". For those willing to acknowledge that this is essentially an incredibly well-made, fully fleshed-out tech demo and it's a day-one PSVR2 title with ever so slight teething character: you will have an absolute blast!
