HomepageMarooners' Rock's Reviews
After years of seeing praise for this game, I found myself underwhelmed. It seems to run like a dream on Switch and this is the Definitive Version of the game, so all the extras are here, but I just didn’t find myself as in love with it as I’d have hoped.
The Outer Worlds is in a prime position to make its mark on the genre, successfully combining aspects from a number of critically praised games like Bioshock, Borderlands, and it’s primary inspiration Fallout.
Ultimately, Ghost Blade HD is a wild good-time and excellent shmup experience. While short, the game’s sharp gameplay mechanics and stellar presentation make this an incredibly engaging spaceship shooter that all Nintendo Switch owners should have in their library.
Daemon X Machina is a solid, mech-action experience that wears its anime influences on its sleeve and goes to town delivering an exciting, fun, and engaging action game. While the story is unfocused, the potential is there, and should a sequel be made, I would love to explore this world more.
If you can look past the ugly artwork, you’ll find it really is a good game with hours of fun!
If you are a fan of RPGs and want to play something that mixes up the genre, I cannot recommend this game enough.
Despite is shortcomings, I strongly recommend it for its strengths, as well as the fact that there are no other space ship shooters available at the moment, outside of Elite Dangerous.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed Heave Ho and it is a game we cannot recommend enough.
House House knew exactly what game they wanted to make and delivered spectacularly in it.
As it stands however, Torchlight II, a good game, stays a good game but some key features feel missing in the transition to console in the seven years since the initial release.
Blair Witch is an improvement over Bloober Team’s past work and I hope to see them further explore more game mechanics in their titles. Even though they’re good at perception-altering visuals, I want to see them branch out more and more. I think that one day in the future, Bloober Team could release a truly knockout horror game.
Any Switch owner, interested in a well-polished shooter, should pick this up!
Ni No Kuni is the same game on the Switch as it was on PS3, with the added benefit of portability and an overall more stable experience.
Whipseey and the Lost Atlas looks and sounds like what I would want in a game emulating a classic platformer, but it lacks the finesse that made those platformers great to begin with.
Catherine: Full Body reminds me of everything I loved about Catherine while providing a new and enhanced experience.
If you are new to the Attack on Titan video game franchise, Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle is worth the $60 despite its few issues. The game provides hours of gameplay that is hard to find in other anime games.
Fans of puzzle games looking for a new challenge may find something to enjoy here. Casual puzzlers will probably be better served to pass on this one or wait for its inevitable inclusion in a future indie bundle.
Ultimately, Control is a really cool experience even with all of the flaws. I really liked the atmosphere of the Bureau and Jesse’s voice actor Courtney Hope did a terrific job. The ending is a trip, and the gameplay is fun, even if it’s slightly repetitive.
The Mana series is a piece of video game history and this collection is a definitive way to experience the first three titles of this phenomenal series.
While certainly playable as a solo experience, Remnant: From the Ashes truly shines as a cooperative multiplayer experience! Fans of Left 4 Dead, Monster Hunter, Destiny, and other cooperative driven games should definitely pick this up!
