Heavy's Reviews
Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[st] set out to make an already riveting anime fighter all the more interesting. It's good to know that French Bread accomplished that goal. The character balancing makes everything even more fair than before, the four new characters are all fun additions to the huge roster, and there's a wealthy amount of modes to busy yourself with.
Sure, the hack 'n slash mechanics have been improved and remains the main pull of this new sequel. But it's simply not enough to convince non-fans to take Dynasty Warriors more seriously. The diehards will flock to it, of course. But they may even be disappointed with its lackluster quality as well.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is one of the most engrossing and captivating RPGs I've ever played.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia is ultimately average at best.
I'll tell you that this game didn't survive for long on my PS4's hard drive.
Gravel's solid gameplay and strong career mode does enough to keep things mildly enjoyable.
The more masochistic crowd of gamers out there will get a kick out of the formidable puzzles and vicious death cutscenes. The pure mediocrity of the rest of the game doesn't do enough to make it a worthy recommendation, however.
H1Z1 may be the patriarch of the modern battle royale game, but it's not the best on the market.
This sequel still manages to be a solid playable ode to Hajime Isayama hit manga/anime.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is a massive step-up when compared to the game that came before it.
The level of freedom and creativity offered to players alongside the shockingly rich story makes Far Cry 5 an extremely memorable ride.
Ultimately, State of Decay 2 is a game that's fine to play on your own, but so much better with friends. If you plan to pick up this ghoul gutting game then make sure to bring a friend or two.
Street Fighter's refined gameplay mechanics have managed to stand the test of time and get better with each successive update and sequel. This compilation offers a playable explanation as to why Capcom's most popular fighting game series still remains relevant and beloved to today's crop of gamers.
Vampyr is a bloody good time that is marred by some tedious mechanics and some technical issues.
The main features missing from Onrush (traditional racing games modes and deep vehicle customization options) keep it from being truly amazing. What's being offered here is still a solid and memorable experience that should be taken for a spin.
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle is a solid fighter. It's just a sad state of affairs when you notice just how unfinished it feels in some areas.
It manages to package together some of the greatest games ever produced, throw new challenges your way, deliver a nice mixture of visual options, and provide the retro feel 90s babies will rejoice over. The Sega Genesis Classics collection stands out as the preferred method to enjoying Sonic and his mascot buddies on current-gen consoles.
Sonic Mania Plus is proof that nostalgia can be done right when it comes to the gaming heroes of the past.
As an overall compilation, the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 is full of some valuable series entries that are worth returning to.
As an overall compilation, the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 is full of some valuable series entries that are worth returning to. The original Mega Man X, plus X2, X4, and X8 offer the highest quality of the entire franchise. The more flawed portions of this compilation (X3, X5, X6, and X7) brings down its overall quality, however.
