Wild Guns Reloaded is a great pickup if you enjoy the original game. If you have never played, then it can be a frustrating experience, especially on single player. The new characters and stages are fun, but the game gets repetitive pretty quickly. It can be an enjoyable co-op experience if you don't mind the repetitive gameplay aspects.
DotEmu dominates another rebirth. Ys Origin for the Xbox One, adds some new features, most notably the speedrun option. That may not be enough to pull a gamer to purchase it again from PS4 or Steam, but new players will be in for a treat at the $19.99 price!
The potential is there. The action, especially against the giant Ravenii, can be pretty fun. However, the repetition and bland environments take away the potential enjoyment of Extinction.
For younger gamers, Ark Park is a nice explorative VR game. There are many dinosaurs to see and breed for your park. For older gamers, the game is lacking in things to do and is not as immersive as I would like.
Overall, Bomber Crew is an awesome game. While the graphics aren't exactly the best and the gameplay can get repetitive and boring, it's still a good game to walk away from and come back to again after some time. The customization in the game is pretty advanced giving players all kinds of options and setups to go with for varying situations.
Adventure Pals has a wacky sense of humor that you will love right from the beginning. The platforming is well done, but a little on the easy side. Despite the ease, Adventure Pals is a wonderful platformer with many collectibles to find and crazy characters to meet and help.
I absolutely LOVED Minit. For looking so simplistic, it drove me to continue playing and it proved that there was so much more gameplay under that minute lifespan.
Far Cry 5 covers the majority of what you can expect in the series - chaotic gameplay, loads of content, and memorable antagonists. Yet Far Cry 5 makes subtle changes that make the journey more memorable. Far Cry 5 is not just the usual with a new coat of paint - the new setting, Guns/Fangs for Hire, and subtle gameplay changes helps create an overall amazing gameplay experience.
Space Pirates and Zombies 2 is a great sequel to the original, building on what made it successful in the first place. Fans of the first SPAZ or those interested in a space shooter, I would definitely recommend checking this one out.
Kings and Heroes is an extremely generic MMO, with an extremely fun loot hook. Exploring dungeons is tons of fun with buddies.
Your path in Sea of Thieves is yours to make. The game is not for everyone, but you can't deny the potential for fun and adventure in Sea of Thieves. Despite some setbacks with trolling players and endgame content, I find myself wanting to play more and more of Sea of Thieves.
Overall Rad Rodgers offers a solid platform game that I think all or most gamers will love to appreciate, especially those still living for that 90's nostalgic feel. The replay value is pretty solid with the ability to go back and replay levels to find all the secret rooms, bad guys, and collectibles.
Tokyo Dark has a story that will pull you in and beat the hell out of your morality. The dark story and beautiful graphics create this amazing adventure game and prove that point and click games aren't dead.
Moss surpassed my expectations and is my favorite VR game of all time. It offers a wonderful story, engaging character, and utilizes VR in a way that I have not experienced before. If you are a PSVR owner, then you owe it to yourself to purchase this game.
Kingdom Come gives you the best opportunity to take the role of a nobody and transform them into the character you truly want to be. Despite some bugs, Kingdom Come offers hours upon hours of content and history for you to enjoy.
This is the Police is a dark gritty cop noire game, with real-world moral choices. By having this game on the Nintendo Switch makes it an ideal game to grab and lose some hours into it away from a TV screen. Highly recommend it!
SpellForce III was fun to me. The mix between RPG and RTS splashed with some good storytelling, and great voice acting created a fun experience that I recommend fans of either genre to definitely check this out.
A game that left Early Access too soon, filled with bugs, and needing polish...is still fun to play. Here's to hoping for the future of this game!
Escapists 2 is a worthy successor to the first game. The simulation is very addicting, with challenging maps, great customization options, and multiplayer modes that are a blast. Remember that patience is a must in Escapists 2, and it will be frustrating if a simple mistake wipes out your hard work.
A Hat in Time is one of the better Kickstarter platformers that have come out to date. The world is colorful and full of areas to explore. The enemies are challenging, with bosses that are no pushovers. The replay value of the game is very high due to the number of areas that can be reached once you find and make appropriate hats. Overall, this is a platformer that you don't want to miss!
