VGChartz's Reviews
Rift Apart improves upon its predecessor in virtually every way possible, becoming a technical marvel for ninth-generation hardware from PS5 to Steam Deck – even if Insomniac doesn't quite run as far with the concept as I would have hoped.
Exoprimal is, as it stands, a dreadfully unfinished experience that I couldn't realistically recommend to anyone.
While Tequila Works' inspiration to explore bullying forms a valuable blueprint, the end result isn't as well-bylt as originally expected.
While it's impossible to paper over certain gameplay missteps, Mundaun nevertheless excels in crafting an authentic interactive folk horror.
A mostly-good collectathon with some occasional leaps into greatness that showcase its true potential as a series, but it doesn’t commit enough to these to become truly great.
An action packed Final Fantasy with incredible set pieces and over the top fight scenes that would make the God of War games blush.
Crime Boss: Rockay City is a has-been roguelike mashed together with a has-been FPS that's mostly filled with has-been movie stars.
While the new fighting mechanics and large roster of playable characters hit the mark, the rogue-lite elements don't quite stick the landing. Still, the game is a fairly fun beat-'em-up experience, especially with a friend along for the ride.
While the story and venue fail to leave a strong impression, and the backtracking gameplay gets old fast, the game's successes in animation, platforming mechanics, and end-game content help balance things out.
The definitive way to play these classic games, but only because the other options have now been delisted.
Crash Team Rumble's different foundation can be N. Sanely fun at points, but annoying live-service elements and design imbalances currently limit its appeal.
Pairing 80s camp and sharp writing with meaningful subtext in its game design, Killer Frequency carves out a special place among modern horror titles.
Trails into Reverie is the all-star game of the series fans have been waiting for, but struggles to advance beyond that.
A feast for the eyes and a famine for everything else.
I was mostly enthralled exploring Sanctuary, dungeon-crawling, and wreaking havoc. However, the experience was marred by some spotty online issues, bouts of repetition, and uninspired lore.
Some illogical gameplay decisions and presentation fumbles aside, Dramatic Labs crafts an exhilarating Trek story closer in spirit to Rodenberry than Kurtzman.
Updating the series with fresh mechanics, game modes, and resources to learn the game's intricacies, Street Fighter 6 not only raises the bar for the series, but the genre as a whole.
The results speak for themselves: solid shooting, interesting scoring mechanics and level designs, and carefully curated experiences at each difficulty setting.
I appreciate System Shock for laying the groundwork for future immersive titles, but it definitely feels dated now, and the few changes made in the remake are a mixed bag that don’t do enough to fix its problems, while also adding new ones of their own.
Even without console ports or the mysterious R-Gear, Ray'z Arcade Chronology is a remarkable collection. It features three entertaining arcade games, including one of Taito's very best, surrounded by a bevy of options, special features, and settings that make those games more accessible and interesting than ever before.
