Party Pack 5 is definitely the most fun its been in a while, primarily because of two games.
I’m glad I gave it a chance.
Ape Out is every bit as fun as it is stylish, which are two features that usually result in a fantastic indie experience, so if you’re even thinking about getting this game, quit monkeying around and do it.
If you’ve never played the game, it’s definitely worth the time and money especially since all the (mostly cosmetic) DLC comes with the package. If you've already played it, I'd be a little bit more hesitant.
Katana ZERO has both substance and flare, making it one of the most enjoyable games of the year, especially if you enjoy your neon colors.
My Friend Pedro is a lot of stylish and silly fun.
This is undoubtedly now the definitive way of playing the great game that is Link’s Awakening. There are far worse games options on the market, and as it stands, an updated version of Link’s Awakening is simply a great game in 2019.
Trails series is quite possibly the best modern JRPG series we have today, and Trails of Cold Steel III finally gives us some more, and more is exactly what we needed.
It’s a good package and certainly worth your time.
Concrete Genie might go as one of the biggest surprises of the year. The lower price is just a bonus. Whatever amount of success this game finds, Concrete Genie deserves more.
Pokémon Sword and Shield are the most fun I’ve had with a Pokémon game since Pokémon Gold and Silver, which is a statement that should mean a lot to any Pokéveteran.
In the end, Final Fantasy VII Remake is a massive achievement. While its final chapter will likely stir controversy, everything that comes before it is some of the best gaming around.
Most rooms can be completed in a few minutes, which helps with time management, but it can also become addictive and turn into a longer session if you’re successful.
I came for its gameplay, stayed for the story, and fell in love with the world of the Weird West, and can only hope there is an opportunity to revisit it at some point in the future.
Kunai is a heck of an experience that’s an easy recommendation especially during this slow part of the year.
Ultimately, we get a classic game with a prettier look for some simple racing – and that’s exactly what this needed to be. Star Wars fans should be perfectly content with adding this to their library.
CrossCode isn’t just a love letter to the golden age of JRPGs, this German-made gem might actually belong there.
Superliminal is a wonderfully paced, albeit short, puzzler with a heartwarming finish.
The attention to detail so far truly is astounding, and with the debut chapter clocking in at around less than four hours, I can’t wait until the next one.
The THPS series may be one that’s getting older all the time, but if this latest outing by Vicarious Visions is any indicator, then just like the Birdman himself, age hasn’t slowed it down one bit.
