GameRant's Reviews
Life Is Strange on Switch elevates the entire YA genre.
It should be pointed out that Scorn is a day one Xbox Game Pass game, and that is really the only way to justify playing it. Otherwise, Scorn is an experience that even the most diehard horror game fans should skip.
Shovel Knight Dig has lacklustre progression and flawed design choices, but solid core gameplay and levels.
The DioField Chronicle features satisfying combat that gives a typical genre tale and characters time to grow into something more.
Overwatch 2's core gameplay is an absolute blast, but it mostly consists of content that already existed with annoying progression added to the mix.
The newest version of NieR: Automata keeps almost everything that made it great, but its visuals suffer from the restrictions of the Switch.
Temtem is a decent, more MMORPG-focused alternative to other popular monster-collecting games.
The gorgeous pixel art and dark themes within Moonscars help make it an enjoyable action-platformer by new developer Black Mermaid.
Session: Skate Sim is a skate simulation that forgets to be a skate game.
Metal: Hellsinger is a furiously fun rip through Hell with some of Metal most icon talent.
Circus Electrique combines strategy, resource management, and exploration to create an intriguing but demanding adventure with heart.
Beacon Pines offers a quirky gameplay hook, pleasing art style, and an unexpected mystery, but that might not win over more than a select group.
Tinykin combines Pikmin-style action with intricate, vast and charming worlds.
Steelrising is a Bloodborne-esque Soulslike that delivers excellent combat and a solid overall experience
Immortality is a one-trick pony when it comes to gameplay, but there's a brilliant story buried beneath its hundreds of film clips.
Tower of Fantasy does very little to stand out from other gacha games and can't find its footing in either gameplay or story, making it quite a mess.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is an excellent snapshot of gaming in the early 90s, but varies in quality from title to title.
Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a faithful remake of the PS1 game, retaining the original's best features as well as its flaws.
The Last of Us Part 1 brings the classic title to PS5 with a major visual overhaul but the core experience remains largely unchanged.
Tackling tragedy in games is important, but doing it well requires empathy, awareness, and a deft hand. Hindsight takes an important story and makes it relevant and relatable by scaling down its narrative to a quiet, personal level. Hampered only slightly by a few design choices, its masterful blending of art, music, interactivity, and writing make it a subtle triumph and a story well worth being told.
