I was immediately struck by how classically “Double Fine” this game’s design is. If you’re not familiar with what I mean, I weep for you, for you have clearly been asleep for the past ten years.
Like the line between plausible reality in the first levels and the absolute madness in the last level [...] I am ambivalent.
Monster Hunter Generations is another improvement on a franchise that makes for a solid portable experience.
If you like the anticipation of watching doom slowly stagger toward a victim, well – here you go, you delightful sadist. Enjoy.
Again, it’s not horrendous like the NES effort, and it’s a little more capable than Sanctum of Slime. But this Ghostbusters lacks any sort of charm or, worse yet, any reason to see it through to the end.
If you’ve been itching for a monster striking experience – or you just loved the God Eater Burst experience – then Resurrection should be your speed.
I'm going to have to go ahead and say that despite the really strange overall feel of Megadimension Neptunia VII, it's a game that I feel like a specific group of gamers will greatly enjoy, while a more general group will have some fun playing, period. Fans of JRPG games, visual novels, and fan service will spend their time in adulation.
While Pac-Man 256 is hardly award-winning fare, it’s a mobile-to-home port done right, with just the right amount of content (without necessary in-game purchases) and some cool multiplayer to go along with the endless running. You’ll more than likely play it in spurts, but that’s just how Hipster Whale designed it anyway, so no biggie. It’s an enjoyable twist on a classic game that brings it into the here and now – and, at the very least, gives us something to do until the next Pac-Man Championship Edition rolls around.
If you can handle the crude and immature humor, and you’d like something a little more lighthearted, you could definitely do much worse.
This is easily one of my favorite Star Wars games to date – and just imagine what these guys could do with Rogue One or Episode VIII. We're waiting…
Zero Time Dilemma carries some deep themes of morality, mortality, and identity, making for an intelligent, worthy story.
Fenix Furia is an awesome experiment, but needs something I just can’t explain to solidify it as a classic for this age.
Party Hard does have its merits with unlockable characters and extra challenges, but that's if you can deal with its technical problems and heinous difficulty. If that sounds like a party to you, have at it.
Ray Gigant is by no means one of the best RPGs, even in the Vita’s small library. Yet, it’s charming and its style is unique enough to warrant a playthrough.
For anyone looking for a solid platforming experience, I would avoid Trial by Viking like the plague.
Overall, Stranger of Sword City is quite a good game for those looking for a nice dungeon-crawling RPG.
Battleborn does have its hiccups with required online connectivity, dialogue and some odd character choices. But the positive far outweighs the negative, with exciting gameplay, fun multiplayer components for both local and online play, and fantastic level design.
Mini Mario and Friends: Amiibo Challenge is delightful, relaxing, and still remains challenging enough with its puzzles.
Between the puzzles that need to be solved throughout this world (enough to fill up a few hours’ worth of gameplay), enthralling battles and a superb presentation, Severed gives you another good reason to cherish your Vita.
Axiom Verge is an interesting tribute to the classics of video games that will, without a doubt, stand among those greats as a classic itself.
