The third episode of Minecraft: Story Mode Season Two plays things too safe. The characters are a little too one-note, and though the Sunshine Institute has the potential to be an interesting setting, everything just feels phoned in.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a must-have for fans of the dungeon-crawling genre. A fantastic art direction, strong character development, tons of hours of content and a wonderful homage to true turn-based combat. At this price, it's a steal.
Not for moi, and that's final.
If you are a Danganronpa fan, then you shouldn't hesitate to pick this one up. If you are new to the series, however, try the demo first to make sure the game is right for you.
SteamWorld Dig 2 lives up to the previous title in every way. If you are looking for a new game to sink your teeth into, SteamWorld Dig 2 is open for business.
Samurai Riot has a number of novel ideas, but the repetitive levels and wonky engine undo any good will. Those who are looking for the next coming of the beat-em-up will likely be disappointed with this title.
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash knows exactly what it is. It's not the deepest game around, but those that can appreciate its absurdity will find a solid enough third person shooter that certainly stands out.
Pokkén Tournament DX can be enjoyed by just about anyone. Whether you are a fighting game fan or are just looking to get your toes wet, it is a great title for both newbies and pros alike.
Most Batman fans will enjoy the first episode of Batman: The Enemy Within. However, waiting for the entire season to release first might be the best course of action at this point, if only to see what new material Telltale will bring to the table.
Super Hydorah goes toe-to-toe with Konami's Gradius series in terms of quality. Polished to a shiny sheen, those looking to relive the past will not be disappointed with this title.
Dishonored: Death of the Outsider could have easily been great for value DLC, but as a stand-alone game for $30, some players may feel a little cold after the 6-7 hours of game time. There is an Original Game+ mode that adds new abilities to the characters of Dishonored 2, but if you've had your fill of reliving past glories, you'll probably get through the game in a solid nights' play.
An Oath to the Stars is a decent enough shmup that doesn't really stand out. Those with itchy trigger fingers will appreciate its score-based style, but its short length and standard gameplay don't make a lasting impact like the genre greats.
Super Comboman: Smash Edition wears its inspiration on its sleeve, but doesn't quite manage to rise above its source material. Diehard fans of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. series may enjoy Struggles' moveset, but its unfair nature might turn some people off.
I, for one, probably belong in the middle of these two relationships. I can't say I was displeased, but I also can't say I was smitten.
One Way Trip is an offensive title on all accounts. Though it may try something new, players will no doubt be turned off by this game within the first five minutes of playing it.
The Escapists 2 is an good prison break game that could use a few more additions to make it a great one. If you don't like RNG, this isn't for you, but fans of the first one or purveyors of co-op modes will be satisfied with the title.
Though the plot moves slowly in episode 3 of Guardians of the Galaxy, it still sets the stage for something great. Those looking to learn more about the crew of the Milano may enjoy it, but the more impatient among us may see this chapter as a half step.
Windjammers is a timeless game that is perfect for competitive play. DotEmu's release isn't the most robust around, but those looking to recapture the spirit of SNK will have fun with this title.
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a good first step towards what will hopefully become a series for Ubisoft and Nintendo. Fans of Mario games, strategy RPGs, or even Switch games in general should grab this without hesitation.
The Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor is still a fun game despite its issues. I just wish there was a way tighten its focus.
