With a bevy of bonuses, including content that was previously only available to Kickstarter backers, this truly is the definitive edition of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero.
Conan Exiles may not have the budget and finesse of those Triple A games, however at the end of the day, it is a decent open world survival game. The inconsistences with the gameplay and at times buggy graphics can be forgiven because it has charm and more importantly it successfully draws you into the world of Conan as you build your own Kingdom in an attempt to make your own mark in this godforsaken world.
Tasked with pursuing a rogue god you will find yourself exploring land and sea in order to fulfill your destiny.
Lightfall is a fast-paced 2D platformer with a few fun, unique mechanics and a lot of narrative.
A visual novel in VR it may be, but it just doesn't inspire wonder.
Anglo-Saxons, Gaelic clans and Viking settlers battle for Brittania and the glory of forging a great empire. A change from the usual Total War games but a potential gateway to newcomers.
It is cute and unique (with a very quirky script) but it still needs more tweaking from the developers. I personally would wait for further updates before I jump back into this game (and die multiple times over again), but if you are willing to keep in mind that it is still a ‘work in progress', then give it a go because overall it is still a fun game to play.
Not much has been added to the Nintendo Switch rerelease of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but it still deserves a place in your Switch library
Fans of TT will find many things to love about this but will they all get around the gameplay? Fans of racing simulators will also love the gameplay but will there be enough content here to keep them playing? Those were the main questions I had coming out of this… but the team behind this set out to perfectly recreate this massive racing event and they definitely succeeded in doing that.
Ark Park has the ability to make us feel small in what could be a dangerous world of dinosaurs. The moments are there, you just have to find them.
Stranded on an island with a talking crab... you may find yourself wishing for a quiet volleyball.
Perhaps this review seems a little harsh but please bear in mind that Extinction is a terrible game that is retailing close to one hundred dollars. That is, without question, day-light robbery. This mess isn't even worth close to half of that, in fact, I wouldn't even recommend playing it for free. Sure, there are worse games out there, but how anyone in good conscience could greenlight Extinction's release at the price of a Triple-A game is insulting.
Solo is the rare game that is an actual experience, one capable of eliciting a complex emotional response.
Has South Park: The Fractured But Whole been Switched? The answer is yes as the Nintendo Switch version works quite well on this console.
Despite shaking things up a bit with the introduction of aerial combat to multiplayer, The War Machine is essentially no better or worse than most other Call of Duty expansions; there's a handful of decent maps, each with their own pros and cons, and another stab at the lumbering undead, but ultimately it all boils down to how much you like the core gameplay loop of the game and wish for more of the same.
Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom delivers plenty of charming moments
After spending over twenty hours with the game, it's clear that God of War is an impressive action-adventure title that should appease a variety of different gamers. However, once all the dust settles, whether or not this will land Sony Santa Monica the prestigious ‘Game of the Year' honour remains to be seen.
Attack on Titan 2 is a surprisingly solid Action RPG with unique combat mechanics and a traversal system that's probably the closest thing we're going to get to feeling like we're Spider-Man until Insomniac's take on the character drops later in the year.
Burnout Paradise Remastered is the same Burnout Paradise you know and love, brought back to life for modern consoles. A few outdated mechanics doesn't stop this from being one of the best arcade racers around.
Coming back to the Devil May Cry series is kind of a bittersweet experience; the games are still relatively competently made and the first and third entries stand out as pinnacles of the Hack-n-Slash genre, but the overt lack of care that has been afforded to this collection makes me reticent to recommend it to all except those who possibly haven't experienced the series yet and are curious to see what all the fuss is about.
