VGChartz's Reviews
The first episode of Song of Horror is a genuinely unnerving experience, but ultimately fails to really find its footing as a game.
With its delightful novelties and visual improvements, Atelier Ryza would have been a must-have if only Gust had put more effort into its characters, story, and building a more interesting world in general.
Its mini-game collection is meek and its story mode is weighed down by difficulty spikes and pedestrian boss battles, but its arcade gameplay, clever course designs, and Decathalon mode make it an overall decent entry in the Monkey Ball universe.
Farming, crafting, exploring, discovery… all check-boxes marked. Unfortunately, Stranded Sails never introduces enough depth or reason for fans of the genre to really dig in and stay a while.
KeokeN’s project initially seems destined for the stars but ultimately doesn't break through the stratosphere.
An extremely faithful adaption of a true Nintendo classic from the company's early years, with some well-needed changes to justify the full price tag in today's gaming landscape sprinkled on top for good measure.

A look inside this polished me-too platformer reveals quality nuances often stuck in limbo.
Frostpunk: Console Edition is a brutal game where every choice comes at a price.
Trine 4 is the best game in the franchise, and a refreshing return to the series' roots after the ambitious-but-flawed third installment.
A lean, exciting conspiracy-thriller whose successes offset some notable faults.
There are enough special features and fan service to entertain the pinball agnostic, and plenty of interesting gimmicks and modes to satisfy those who think of "Star Wars" as Reagan's missile defense system.
Hands down one of the best games you’ll experience this year.
While maybe not as lively as a true arcade setting, Killer Queen Black does an admirable job of mimicking its success in that field.
An indispensable example of a middle-market studio’s ambition excelling beyond many of the biggest companies in understated ways.
A stunning take on a tried and true formula.
Blessed with the charm, wit, and fun factor you’d expect from such a talented group of creators, this should be a guaranteed crowd pleaser.
A brief but unforgettable tale about family, loss, and the cruel reality of how fleeting life can be.
Delivers some of the best momentary action in the series.
