VGChartz's Reviews
Sonic Superstars is ultimately nothing short of a major letdown.
While Blue Isle Studios' continued dedication to the source material is commendable, it can only go so far with fundamentals that are more emaciated than the titular horror mascot.
Instead of being a title that defines the generation - and perhaps even the medium - Ghostrunner II has to settle for being 'merely' great. Hopefully a third entry in the series can strike a better balance between mixing things up and maintaining the well-refined gameplay as the centerpiece of attention.
While Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris was bitter, Sword Art Online Last Recollection turns out to be rather sweet.
Telltale & Deck Nine's bottle episode can be split into two clean parts: the poignant finale and the monotonous journey to reach it.
Fans of rail shooters and Suzuki's early arcade work should give this oddball a chance. While the game's core mechanics are rather shallow and its visual assets unimpressive, it succeeds in replay value, boss battles, and music.
Telltale & Deck Nine's Expanse prequel weaves a compelling-enough yarn, but archaic design elements could tempt even ardent fans into spacing it.
This attempt to “meet in the middle” between styles, while it should appeal to a wider range of fans, doesn’t really excel in the realms of stealth or ARPG. The result is a fairly average action-adventure with glimpses of greatness, but which lacks cohesion and doesn’t quite rise to its potential.
Despite a few noticeable setbacks, it's ape-solutely bananas just how well Rare's latest crossover expansion harnesses the spirit and mood of a bygone adventuring era.
Yes, the Payday magic is still here… sort of.
Furyu's first new gem since The Caligula Effect.
Much like a red giant, Starfield is an absolutely massive experience that burns just a bit cooler than one would expect.
The "whatever" part in Caligari Games' sophomore title initially suggests boundless wonders, but is more akin to someone shrugging their shoulders by the end.
While the series has traditionally had very good presentation values, Mortal Kombat 1 actually vitalizes the gameplay into something engaging, silky, and fun.
It's admirable that Disney has elected to preserve Gargoyles for future generations, but the game, like Goliath himself, belongs in the past.
It's not without some noticeable foibles, but if the best gauge for success was how often I said "just one more game… just one more game" then it deserves heaps of paw-sitivity.
If you're a fan of indie games, JRPGs, or a combination of either, Wandering Sword is certainly worth the investment. But just keep in mind the cowboy's sad, sad song: every rose has its thorn – or in this case, thorns.
This sequel shines almost as brightly as its predecessor, thanks to diverse mission types, accessible gameplay, a wealth of single-player and multiplayer content, and lovely art and music.
The linguistic labyrinth woven into its puzzle design, world-building, and presentation makes Chants of Sennaar nothing short of a towering achievement.
Neat gameplay nuances (and some catchy tracks) can only go so far with writing that makes me root for Volcano High's extinction event.
