Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is an additional provocative and bold move from the series. Its purpose is to bring together the Yakuza and the pirates in a manner that is as farcically absurd as possible.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage Tape 1 is commendable for its world-setting and character introductions, which work well in getting players to feel for them despite dialogue that can be sub-par. I wouldn't say you need to rush to play it, especially without having Tape 2 to serve as context and closure for the whole narrative.
Enjoyable to listen to the sounds of combat, which range from the ringing of steel to the sizzling of magical attempts. Cries of combat and the roars of foes combine to create an atmosphere of tension. However, several lines of conversation that are repeated throughout the fight can become tedious after a while.
Tomb Raider IV-VI Remastered is a retro-flavored rekindling that updates three ancient favorites to the present console generation with significant visual and play improvements. While The Last Revelation and Chronicles hold up, Angel of Darkness is a letdown but engrossing beginning. Fans of the series will appreciate the upgraded graphics, controls, and challenges of puzzles in this collection.
Avowed is a well-crafted RPG that excels in storytelling and exploration but falls short in combat depth and enemy variety. It's a game that understands the joy of adventure, offering a rich, immersive experience that, while not without flaws, is well worth the journey.
Afterlove EP delivers a heartfelt narrative enriched by Jakarta’s vibrant backdrop, blending visual novel storytelling with exploration and rhythm-based gameplay. Despite minor technical flaws, its emotional depth, cultural authenticity, and musical integration make it a compelling and immersive experience worth exploring.
Sid Meier's Civilization VII, in its attempt to tone down the repetition and micromanagement, has harmed it more than any good it did. Aside from the main and core issues of lacking depth in its content and having a horrible UI, Civilization VII isn't that bad. If you want a better game, though, stick with Civilization VI or V.
Trails Through Daybreak II expands on the previous game with better mechanics, more in-depth character customization, and a larger story. On the other hand, the tempo is disrupted by the forced narrative framework and the recurrent boss fights. Although the Mare Garden and Time Leap mechanics introduce new features, they also bring with them the potential for some boredom.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II is an exhilaratingly immersive experience that, despite silly animations and graphical popping, manages to harken to the old RPGs and make you truly feel for the world. If you want an expansive adventure with no small amounts of shenanigans, this game is for you.
As much as I wanted to like Mark of the Deep, I found it to be more annoying than enjoyable. Although the unexpectedly pleasant soundtrack and vibrant visuals indicate genuine creative effort, the graceless combat detracts from the overall experience. Combat becomes a tedious grind instead of an enjoyable challenge due to the weak dodges, unresponsive attacks, and enemies' excessive damage absorption.
While The Stone of Madness isn’t perfect among stealth games, it stands out for its fresh concept, beautiful hand-drawn visual style, and strategic gameplay. Those who go into it with the mindset that it is a space prison or prison escape game, not a Commandos one, will find that the game is well worth a buck.
Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is absolutely a recommendation if you have played and liked the first one. Even if you haven't, it's still worth a try. It has everything from phenomenal writing to varied characters to an intriguing plot. The gameplay remains great without being overbearing.
Hello Kitty Island Adventure really shines when it comes to its inviting ambiance, gorgeous graphics, and fun encounters with popular characters. Despite its issues, fans of casual, slice-of-life games set in tropical environments may appreciate it.
Sniper Elite: Resistance doesn't make many changes to the series, but it isn't supposed to. Rebellion's World War II series is about sound, alternative gameplay, and efficient fighting, not Hollywood dramatization. Resistance adheres to that premise but doesn’t do anything extra special to stick out.
Coridden is a decent action role-playing game, introducing some new gameplay mechanics for RPG fans to experience. The multiplayer is particularly well executed. It's a great alternative for individuals who enjoy working in collaboration with friends.
Everything the Atomic Heart attempted to be in terms of story and portions, Enchantment Under the Sea practically delivers, and then more. My only gripe is that the DLC was too brief; just as you were getting into the meat of the game, it ended up leaving you desiring more.
Eternal Strands is a bold title that challenges you to dream big. With its changing environment, new gaming methodologies, and mixed systems, it stands out in a sea of crowded action-adventure titles. For all its weaknesses, such as floaty fighting and shallow variety in its enemies, its strengths dominate its faults. For high-fantasy dreamers and investigation and creation games, the game is a thrill.
SYNDUALITY Echo of Ada suffers from significant flaws. Depth in its combat mechanics is lacking, and too much of it is reduced to simple strategies. Its variety in both weapons and powers feels uncreative. The overall experience is a mixed one, one that will, perhaps, reward its fan base but will not work in creating a standout title in its field.
DreadOut Remastered Collection may not be suited for everyone if you aren’t a fan of campy horror experiences with cheesy plotlines or lack thereof. The cutscenes found within are always a little treat to watch as well, with a blend of horror and light comedic elements as well.
The backbone of playing with a headset on is taking every advantage of this unique form of gameplay. Rich exploration, intuitive inventory management, and relentless combat will keep you coming back for more; as 2025 starts, I can confidently say that we have a Game of the Year contender. A video game that truly feels made from the ground up for VR, Arken Age is the ultimate expression of an immersive experience.
