GameLuster's Reviews
A horror action-adventure game that does little on the horror aspect. It's full of inconsistency, and while it pays homage to Lovecraftian fiction, it falls extremely flat.
Muse Dash is simple, but the polished and addictive gameplay and visuals place it a notch above most rhythm games. A solid library of fun songs and precise beatmaps promises a fun experience, and at a price of only $2.99, it's basically a steal.
These three games are all enjoyable and memorable experiences, with their bright cast of characters and delightful humor coupled with engaging and satisfying gameplay. These games are perfect for the player that enjoys character-driven stories in games or games that focus on problem-solving and critical thinking rather than skill.
Warhammer: Chaosbane is a decent ARPG that doesn't do anything new or exciting. Still, it might appeal to Warhammer fans and newcomers to the ARPG genre.
Great gameplay and a cool world make Warlocks II an enjoyable experience. It's a fairly standard experience in many ways, but a few nice ideas and twists really liven it up. It's a good time, even if it isn't that funny.
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons rises above its simple puzzles with a quiet but deeply engaging world, story and characters. Minus a few potential bugs, the Switch port delivers a generally beautiful experience of the game that looks good and runs well. The game is a short but sweet trip that culminates in a truly memorable ending.
Project Nimbus is underwhelming to say the least, especially given that this is supposedly the "Complete Edition." The fun inherent in the basic mechanics and the smoothness of the controls do little to distract from several serious flaws.
World End Syndrome is a beautifully drawn visual novel that I recommend to anyone who is a fan of the genre. It features a great cast and an interesting plot surrounding the mystery of Mihate Town.
Vambrace: Cold Soul creates a compelling fantasy world for fans of the genre. However, progression can be slow due to the heavy reliance on RNG, which can be frustrating for some.
Enjoy a relaxing puzzle game that innovates game mechanics in an easy and accessible way that doesn't lose the challenge that makes puzzle games entertaining.
Even with some complaints, Will is still worth checking out. If you love story-driven games or creative puzzle experiences it will be right up your alley. It tells many powerful and thoughtful stories that can haunt you or just leave you thinking.
Eden Tomorrow feels like a new developer's first outing. The gameplay is basic, repetitive, and just plain boring. The narrative would be solid, were it not shoved in your face by your flying robot companion. Aside from the music, I found myself almost completely uninvested in the game past the first hour or so. Even the occasional towering visual set piece wasn't enough to elevate the experience. And with so many deeper, more involved experiences on the PSVR platform, Eden Tomorrow feels like a step back.
It’s not the hardest tower defense game ever, but X-Morph will definitely challenge you in ways you never imagined. What little shortcomings it may have is made up for in concept, execution, and sheer style. Now admit it, you know you’ve always wanted to play as the bad guy and wreak havoc…I know I have!
Fans of hardcore bullet hell games, or dexterous one-handed typers, this is a match made in heaven for you.
It’s quirky and beautiful, but isn’t revolutionary by any means. The story is predictable, but the voice acting, art, and dialogue more than make up for that. If they made any sort of spin off short film to this game, I think it would be a great idea and I’d support it 100 percent.
Despite the game’s flaws, I had a great time with Pokémon Let’s Go. The atmosphere was charming and inviting, and the details created a fun visual experience. The new capture method was engaging, and made no two encounters the same. This game is the perfect way to ease Pokémon GO players into the console Pokémon games, and offers challenges to old and new players alike.
Although it’s not without its faults, Rainswept was a powerful story to me.
There was a lot of potential in Kingmaker, but also a lot of wasted potential. The developers might still be able to salvage this potential if they listen to criticism and are willing to overhaul the game in every possible way.
Complaints aside, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight to fans of the original game. The character interactions and song selections took me back, and I remembered why I loved this game so dearly. It took me around eight hours to unlock most of the social links, and while that doesn’t sound like a lot, the experience itself is well worth the money. For those who haven’t played Persona 3 however, it’s hard to justify the price and the length.
Nonetheless, “Rules” can be called a mostly successful entry in the Life is Strange catalog. The plot uses the newly introduced characters very well, each of them fulfilling an important role in Sean and Daniel’s adventure. No moment feels wasted, with every action leading to major changes in the story. Above all, after I finished the episode, I knew I immediately wanted more from Dontnod. It’s just a shame that it could take another four months.
