Mighty No. 9 may be one of the most disappointing games I’ve ever played. At the start, we were promised a spiritual successor to Mega Man and we didn’t get that. Gameplay wise, Mighty No. 9 isn’t a bad game, it’s just muddled down with bad design, poor characters, and other technical issues.
Maize has a great idea behind the game, but it failed to actually fulfill the idea behind it. For the first hour, I wandered around aimlessly suffering massive frame-rate drops on the Xbox One with no real guide telling me what I needed to do or any story actually telling me why I was there.
Elite Dangerous is just not a fun game to play. It is extremely pretty, and catapulting through space with no particular goal is quite relaxing. When it comes to creating a fun game that keeps the player coming back for more, it still has a long, long way to go.
Theseus really does have some stunning moments when faced with the minotaur or other things that gives a grand scale unlike any other. Theseus just falls flat in all other areas, camera angles went from great to bad and the combat has no depth and the traversal of the area became old.
Ghost Blade HD mostly accomplishes what it sets out to do. It provides a bullet-hell arcade shooter, with leaderboards to chase. The awesome 90’s effects and focus fire gameplay are undermined by a slight lack of difficulty and effective power-up system.
An action-rpg that hits hard, but rings hollow.
While Star Fox Zero is brimming with nostalgia and has a lot of redeeming qualities, tons of forced in content and motion controls spoil the game.
Sudden Strike 4 provided us with many hours of content throughout the single-player/multi-player content that stroked our love for history along with our passion for RTS games. If you are even slightly curious, check it out.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is a continuation of the love letter Capcom put together for fans of the franchise.
Day of Infamy has taken the shooter genre back to World War II and has really made it an immersive WWII FPS. Days of Infamy requires a combination of tactics, teamwork, map knowledge and skill to really win at this game. If you’re looking for a change from todays fast-paced genres of FPS, then look no further.
While 88 heroes does stand out from other 2D platformers with the variety of characters that are playable, it does fall short from standing out from other great 2D platformers.
Super Bomberman R when you get down to the core of the game itself, is a great launch title for the Nintendo Switch that will allow fun at home or on the go, solo or with friends.
Punch Club is a decent boxing simulator; however, it's a better game when it's doing everything else.
Sniper Ghost Warrior: 3 is an ambitious game, with a few flaws that still makes for a fun experience.
Mass Effect: Andromeda is a sci-fi adventure that flirts with greatness, but leaves the player wanting more.
For only $15, there is an endless amount of contents. If you felt that No Man’s Sky was lacking and need something to scratch that open world space game, then 3030 Deathwar Redux is the perfect game to relax and play.
If you’re looking for the type of game to come home to after a long day of work to get lost to, Jettomero: Hero Of The Universe will come into save your afternoon. It’s the most relaxing game that I have played this year and it’s one that will probably be a hidden indie gem for months to come.
Time Recoil, reminds me of a mix between the gameplay of Mr. Shifty and somewhere along the lines of the Butterfly Effect for the story. If any of those strikes an interest in your mind, then it’s something you should check out.
The on-rails rhythm shooter you never knew you wanted.
In its attempt to draw in a casual audience, Dead Rising may alienate series veterans. While I love the direction the series is taking, I fully understand the sentiment. For those willing to accept Dead Rising 4 for what it is, they will find an over the top zombie-slaying power fantasy that leaves a few presents under your tree.
