Mulaka creates an unmatched experience that marries rich culture with gameplay, which shows the power of indie game development.
The reboot of the RPG Maker cult classic Yume Nikki, while having a few redeeming qualities, ultimately misses the mark.
There's a fantastic graphical style and story here, but the overly short play time and lack of game mechanics may make it easy to skip.
From a horribly botched launch to clunky UI and a hunger/thirst meter that actively tries to kill you, there's so much this game does wrong that it's hard to focus on what Metal Gear Survive does right.
The unique mechanics of Candleman: The Complete Journey will keep you engaged just long enough to become invested in a deeper-than-expected story.
Getting Over It may be unfair and frustrating by design, but even acknowledging that, it doesn't make it any less annoying or any more satisfying.
