VGChartz's Reviews
Super Mutant Alien Assault might be the Citizen Kane of Super Crate Box clones, but in the larger scope of video games it's more of a summer popcorn flick—diverting, good-looking, but ultimately lacking the depth to become a classic.
If you adore Contra, you will absolutely love this game.
Once again, ACE has taken two incompatible genres and merged them into a solid product.
A competent, corny role-playing game with a lively battle system, dozens of recruitable characters, some narrative woes, and too many game-ending crashes.
The Contra collection finishes Konami's 50th birthday bash in style.
An intense and memorable experience.
By combining the legal proceedings of Ace Attorney with the visceral combat and open-world hijinks of Yakuza, developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio has turned in a new, but familiar property.
Gato Roboto is everything you'd expect from a Metroidvania and, importantly, everything you'd want.
It's not as refined or as well-paced as some of the stalwarts of the genre, and its story mode is a let-down, but it's still a clever puzzle-fighting hybrid with many different modes.
Taken as a whole this second part of Konami's year-long birthday celebration is a worthwhile trip to the past.
Redout is a decent racing experience overall, chiefly for fans of moribund franchises like WipEout and F-Zero.
A serviceable sandbox shooter with wasted potential.
Worth a punt if you want an enjoyable afternoon unravelling the sisters’ mystery.
Crippled by disappointing writing, Atelier Lulua also fails at delivering enough nostalgic content to veteran fans of the Atelier series.
Shakedown: Hawaii has a lot to do and see, and maybe even more to say.
There's a lot to like here, for folks who crave cerebral strategy, reflex-based racing, and a good sense of humor.
Mortal Kombat 11 is an outstanding fighting game with new, more deliberate mechanics, a spectacular story mode, and loads of online and offline content.
Built according to the structure of Nintendo's 1988 take on ice hockey, it's an accessible arcade sports game that's particularly fun in local four-player bouts.
Technically shoddy, this latest Neptunia game is a short and fairly limited JRPG. But from a narrative and artistic standpoint it's an enjoyable adventure.
Die, die, die again. Curse your enemy, curse the game, think of quitting, then pick the sticks back up and keep trying.
