The Outerhaven Productions's Reviews

Fantasian Neo Dimension is a great love letter to JRPGs, particularly ones that come from creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's past such as Lost Odyssey and Final Fantasy. Its characters weave together a story worth experiencing with a battle system that accentuates it by providing enjoyable yet challenging turn-based fare. Wrapped around it all is impressive hand-crafted dioramas and the last full soundtrack from the legendary Nobou Uematsu, Fantasian Neo Dimension should be experienced by any JRPG fan.

Mario & Luigi Brothership is a welcome return, and succeeds far more than it fails. Its heartwarming story mixed with solid battle mechanics will keep you engaged for some time…even if it goes a bit long in the tooth near the end.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is a wonderful game to play and will have you on the edge of your seat. That being said, if you don't enjoy some light survival elements and more simulation based shooting. This one probably isn't for you, but if it is your cup of tea… you will lose hours to it.

Fairy Tail 2 was a fun and addicting time with great animations. It still suffers from choices made during the first game, but it is still a good time for Fairy Tail fans.

Marvel Rivals is a game that puts fun first. Playing as one of Marvel's huge and not-so-huge characters is a lot of fun, with stupid things like Rocket Raccoon and Jeff the Shark being fun to play. As I'm a Venom main, I love that I don't need to study a meta guide to jump in and have fun. If Marvel Rivals keeps fun at the core of its gameplay, then it'll be a hit for years to come.

Shiren The Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is a pure roguelike experience. It also is a very addicting roguelike experience.

Rage of the Dragons feels like a solid port that stands on its own as a niche title in the tag team fighting game. One which couldn't have chosen a better time to for a re-release in the year of the genre's resurgence.

Rita's Rewind is another failure for the Power Rangers brand. First, the TV show ends with a badly made, under-budget version of something that wasn't liked at all, then the figures have been licensed out to Playmate Toys (This might end up being a good thing with time), all the props and costumes have been sold off at auction, and now the video game that looked to revive the old-school Power Rangers feeling comes out and messed up. No wonder Hasbro is trying to offload everything to do with Power Rangers as they can't get anything right.

Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is what I expect a remaster to do. Not only did they make the main games playable with upgraded graphics, but they added so much bonus content that has never been released before that it makes the game worth buying for that bonus content alone. While the gameplay and camera is unfortunately locked into the by-gone age of the PlayStation 1 & 2, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is well worth the return from the afterlife.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle captures everything that Indiana Jones should be, while also doing things to set itself apart from similar games. Sure it has a couple of issues such as pop-in and slightly repetitive combat but its focus on adventure first give it a sense of discovery and reward that few games can match.

I was never the biggest fan of Path of Exile—its overly complex systems always scared me off. But with Path of Exile 2, Grinding Gear Games has done the unthinkable. The changes to systems that bothered me from the first game. They’ve crafted an ARPG that’s not only more accessible but also improves on everything from the first game. It dials the experience up to 11, making it nearly impossible to put down. This is an enjoyable and approachable ARPG that practically begs to be played.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard stands on the shoulders of Titans with the previous Dragon Age series and even though the beginning feels a bit clumsy, the game itself delivers in spades.

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is one of those games that came from a different era of games development, where game designers and writers were not afraid to push the boundaries of what was unacceptable by society's standards. Shadows of the Damned remains unchanged, with every moment dripping with sexuality, exploitation, and profanity. People might have a hard time accepting Shadows of the Damned for what it is, but those who do will be surprised by a game that still holds up against modern standards in game design and gameplay.

Find Love or Die Trying is a short but fun game. The choices don't feel very meaningful but the characters are great.

Touhou Spell Carnival does a decent job blending RPG mechanics into the bullet-hell formula of Touhou Project. It can get overwhelming with everything on screen and having to protect five characters.

Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the best way to play Dragon Quest III. It looks beautiful, sounds amazing, and is an extremely satisfying game to complete.

Tetris Forever used a time travel theme to send you back into the past 40 years of the franchise; however, if you grew up playing Tetris in the West, you won't find the titles you're familiar with. Japanese versions of the games here are abundant and very fun but there are some duplicates which showed laziness in the selection.

Card-en-Ciel is a fun dungeon-crawling deck-building roguelite that will provide hours of addictive gameplay that is easy to pick up and learn. While the system seems in-depth and daunting, its thoughtful design appeals to gamers or any skill level.

Shin Chan: Shiro and the Coal Town is a beauty of a game. It has a lot of cozy elements but also very basic ones.

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth By Sleep A Fragmentary Passage is a nice prologue to KH3, while tying up certain loose ends… kind of. If you want to see more Aqua and have a nice quick journey, you'll enjoy this before jumping into the next main game.
