The Origami King is a fantastic new page in the Paper Mario RPG playbook offering a funny story that is guaranteed to crease you up. Whenever the game threatens to get stale, it’ll have an exciting new twist waiting just around the corner.
Overall, a solid title in the genre which offers plenty of content to enjoy and some well-implemented visuals; only let down by some frustrating mechanics and slight graphical flaws.
Putting the server issues and a few of the other problems I have with the game aside, Fall Guys has been an absolute joy to play.
Röki will absorb you into its tale of wonders and mystery and you won’t be able to put the game down until you’ve seen the story come to an end. It’s an enchanting journey that modernises the genre and will go down into history as one of the prime examples of an adventure game done right.
pixelBOT EXTREME! can be fun while it lasts but I don’t think I’ll be going back to it after finishing it. The color-coded rocket mechanic was a nice twist and helps it stand out a bit but I don’t think there is a lot else here that separates it from other side-scrolling shooters.
Maid of Sker is a good horror game but not quite a great one.
Star Wars Episode I: Racer takes the classic Nintendo 64 game and brings it to modern platforms with some nice improvements.
The game does show its age in some of the mission design and the audio but improvements to the controls and graphics have made this far better than the original game ever was. Now when can we see a brand-new entry?
#RaceDieRun is hard as hell and will really test your mettle. It offers plenty of content and a lot of replay value, especially considering its low asking price.
Rock of Ages 3: Make & Break isn’t vastly different from prior entries but it is the biggest and best entry yet.
Superhot: Mind Control Delete is just more of an already great thing and that’s all I could really ask for out of it.
Blair Witch has some issues but I do think it is worth playing at some point.
Neversong’s art style alone makes me want to recommend it to others to play. Some platforming bits could be better and the game isn’t as deep as some other Metroidvanias but don’t let those things dissuade you. Neversong as a whole is a memorable and unnerving experience that should be played by fans of the genre.
Liquid Sunshine is nice puzzle-platformer with interesting ability-based challenges and a very stylish black & white comic book presentation. It could have used some additional polish when it comes to character animations but the storybook aesthetic makes up for a lot.
Sisters Royale: Five Sisters Under Fire doesn’t do anything to really make it stand out from other shmups out there but it does play well. The story is pretty uninteresting but the different characters and their firing styles do offer a lot of replayability and could have you spending some time with this shmup.
Superliminal is the type of puzzle game that I would full heartedly recommend to fans of games like Portal. While it doesn’t have as interesting of a story as something like that it does feature a pretty unique puzzle design concept that had me constantly thinking in new ways. If you’re looking to spend a couple hours thinking outside the box then Superliminal is your game.
Beyond Blue is a fantastic aquatic experience that will submerge you into the many wonders our deep blue oceans have to hide.
Disintegration aims to mix things up by adding RTS ingredients into the FPS genre but just like the Gravcycle you pilot, it fails to fly high.
It takes some chances with the story and some of those things might anger some people out there. They did me when they first happened but the game fully explains why they made the choices they did and by the end I saw and felt what they were going for. Naughty Dog closed out the PlayStation 3 generation with a must play title and with The Last of Us Part II they’ve once again done the same thing for the PlayStation 4.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is a solid enough 3D platformer that all ages can enjoy.
