HUNTER×HUNTER NEN×IMPACT is fun when it works, but its lack of content, polish, and dysfunctional online make it a hard sell, especially at its price point.
RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is a lot of fun. I honestly did want more RoboCop, and that's exactly what I got. Sure, you don't get to ticket cars this time, but you do get to resolve disputes between neighbours and tell punks to make your day! I just wish that it didn't have so many major issues…
The Drifter is a well-written, fast-paced point-and-click thriller that will keep you glued to your seat. It's a must-play for those who love puzzlers, mystery, and adventure.
Vessels of Decay is a great-looking, retro-inspired game that is unfortunately more frustrating to play because it's buggy.
Mario Kart World is an amazing-looking and sounding title on the Switch 2. I love all the new tracks and characters, though the way you unlock them feels unfair.
A fun, low-stakes 3D platformer with tiny robots in worlds no bigger than a garden.
Everdeep Aurora is a chill game full of exploration and puzzles. It has a fun cast of animals to interact with, but the map is very vague and hard to follow.
Shuffle Tactics is a good tactical roguelike that offers plenty of reasons to think ahead to combat The Glimmer. It needs refinement in places, but updates have done a lot to improve the game since its initial release.
Carrier Deck is a strategic game full of great-looking military aircraft. It is quite complex and can feel repetitive at times; it may not be for everyone.
A fun, nostalgia-fuelled romp through three classic platformers. Whilst they are dated, the extra features alleviate some issues found in the original versions.
God of Weapons doesn't offer much, but what it does offer is enough to help pass the time.
Alien Hominid Invasion is a chaotic and fun game, though there's so much going on, it's hard to keep track of your alien, and it gets hard!
No Way Home is a space shooter with precise controls and challenging combat. Being able to constantly upgrade your pod with new weapons is so much fun!
Alien Hominid HD is a terrific game full of fun characters and a great sense of humour. The only drawback is that it is quite short; I didn't want it to end!
Summary - Both a decent language learning tool and a good game, Shujinkou pulls off a pretty impressive feat here. Some of the controls are a little more complex than I would like, but everything else is spot-on.
Through the Nightmares is a nightmarishly difficult, great labour of love, with the only thing stopping you from beating the game is your own skill and willpower. Just be willing to wait, use any knowledge you collect with each death, and don't give up.
Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon is an immersive and dark fantasy adventure with great characters and ambience. Though it has issues with stability, it's definitely worth a look for anyone interested in the genre or Arthurian myth.
LUNAR Remastered Collection is a must-play for RPG fans and I am having an amazing time playing it.
Cubic Odyssey tried to reach for the stars, but ultimately, it fell flat. With limited action and a lot of grinding, there's very little to actually do in what should be an expansive galaxy.
A bloated and bland action adventure title, with a few standout mechanics, but none that can save it from being an underwhelming package.
