MonsterVine's Reviews

Both games on the Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 1 collection are unique and a joy to play through for their own reasons. Unfortunately, the way in which they’re presented feels dated and barebones, as they look the same as they did on the PS2 and have no new features or quality of life updates.

Boyfriend Dungeon is a unique game, but it hits every mark it aims for.

Overall, Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut is well worth the price for Iki Island alone.

No More Heroes III is a wacky, funny, and bloody swan song for the No More Heroes series.

Aug 29, 2021

I bounced so hard off The Ascent that it left a bad taste in my mouth and a wish that it spent another few more months in the oven.

Minute of Islands is an incredibly stunning game with a timely narrative, minimal gameplay, and small platforming puzzles.

World’s End Club has a great story, but it isn’t a great game.

Aug 27, 2021

If you like your survival horror games to include unsettling enemies, clever puzzles, and backtracking to unlock new doors as you explore a sinister location, Tormented Souls is the game you’ve been waiting for.

I can’t stress enough how much fun Aliens: Fireteam Elite is. If you’re a fan of the franchise, don’t pass this one up.

They will make video games after this but they shouldn’t, perfection has been achieved.

3.5 / 5.0 - Recompile
Aug 19, 2021

Recompile is a frustrating game. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad game because I still had a lot of fun with it and definitely recommend playing it, as I knocked out the entire thing in a single session.

Very few games get as much right with their formula as Death’s Door does.

Even among fans of dialogue-driven adventure titles, I couldn’t possibly recommend Last Stop.

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles may be Shu Takumi and Capcom’s best Ace Attorney work yet.

Players beware: Clown in a House is somewhat depressing with an almost one-dimensional tone.

Shadowverse: Champion’s Battle is a jam-packed digital card game that combines the charm of a shonen sports anime with the addictive and deceptively deep strategy of the Shadowverse card game.

Chivalry 2 is a good entry into the melee-focused multiplayer scene.

2.5 / 5.0 - Scarlet Nexus
Aug 4, 2021

Scarlet Nexus has the foundation of a great idea that’s executed poorly and spends more time introducing new systems than exploring the ones already provided.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD is an excellent remaster of an underappreciated Zelda title.

3.5 / 5.0 - The Forgotten City
Jul 27, 2021

I burned through The Forgotten City in a single session, fully intrigued by the game’s world but I just wish the game’s mechanics had a bigger influence over the story it was trying to tell.
