Is it worth the purchase? Well if you don't have any Sonic games and either want to see what it's all about, or relive past glories… then certainly grab a copy. If you bought last years Sonic Origins then just have a look at what the differences are and determine if Plus really adds enough for you to fork out for it. But it's nice to be able to share some of my childhood with my children in a pretty decent modern remastered collection such as this.
Ultimately I do give credit for the restoration and remastering efforts… but unfortunately though you can polish a turd… at the end of the day, it's still a turd and bad acting, bad writing and pretty awful staging means this is really only a title for people who can find the humour in things that are really terrible… I'm just not one of those people.
Homeseek is a punishingly bleak post-apocalyptic city builder where every action feels consequential.
Ghost Trick Phantom detective was one of the best games on the DS and is now one of the best games on modern hardware.
Two fun and action filled games! The first Tomb Raider game released for Switch should delight both new and old fans of the series.
Because you shouldn’t play Redfall. It is a middling game at best, but at worst it will take precious time away from other games, hobbies, or conversations you could be having that will hold so much more meaning than this release.
A surprise I never thought would work so well. Kinda like the Wumpa Bazooka, it doesn't make sense, but somehow, it just works!
River City Girls 2 is a superb sequel that builds on the already brilliant original in small but meaningful ways.
We Love Katamari Reroll+ Royal Reverie is challenging and crazy in the best possible way.
While there's some gameplay issues here and there, Amnesia: The Bunker is a short, tense, claustrophobic experience that's well worth your time.
As a complete package Sonic Origins Plus is a decent collection for series fans and newcomers alike. But as a DLC its merely a collection of curios you can probably do without.
Pixel Ripped 1978 is a fun look back to a special time in the world of gaming that is as irreverent as it is entertaining.
At the core of AEW Fight Forever is the No Mercy Successor wrestling fans have been waiting for. The question is whether you want that. I know I do.
With big improvements, yet still some solid flaws, F1 2023 comes up pretty strong but still with a lot of room to grow.
The Knight Witch is a super fun game an original take on a few different genres. While the game isn't perfect, I do think people should go out of their way to try it out.
Final Fantasy XVI is one of this year’s best games that flawlessly marries the design and narrative sensibilities of Japanese and Western RPGs in a manner that is simply spell-binding.
I believe the best way to describe this game would be a survival horror isometric tactical shooter in the Alien universe. Aliens Dark Descent perfectly establishes its own rules and stays true to the Alien franchise and what made it one of the greatest modern sci-fi works: the heart-wrenching fear of the unknown and the thrill of fighting against all odds.
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow is an amazing experience that will leave you with some questions and give you some thinking for homework.
Layers of Fear 2023 re-packages the first two games with better visuals and sound, but gameplay is a miss.
A seaworthy addition to the roguelike deckbuilder genre with a treasure trove of content.
