Croc might not be the first name that springs to mind when you think of colorful ‘90s platforming mascots, but the little green guy is very much a part of the conversation.
There is a great deal of affection for the point-and-click genre in every part of Heir of the Dog, but it never feels like nostalgia is doing the heavy lifting.
The Wolf Among Us Remastered is ultimately a more polished, visually superior version of the game you already know and love.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a triumphant, high-octane game held back only by a few quirks and a multiplayer mode that needs to grow up.
Phantom Blade Zero is a genuine Game of the Year contender and is one deserving of a place in action-game folklore.
It's a gorgeous, affectionate celebration of a style of RPG that has lost none of its appeal, combined with a remarkably generous reimagining of a mobile game that deserved to be remembered for more than its gacha mechanics.
Switch Sports Resort isn’t going to successfully recreate that unique feeling Wii Sports gave you. It is a fantastic game, though, and everything that a Wii Sports successor on the Switch 2 needs to be.
Balancing Lunne’s business, relationships, and magical growth as a Heart Witch was one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had all year.
The appeal of a zoo isn't the satisfaction of building an efficient attraction. For me, it's when you see a creature doing something charming and realize you've forgotten, for a little while, that you're supposed to be in charge.
Even when Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse had me in Bloody Tears and praying for mercy, I never stopped grinning from ear to ear and jumping right back in to see what else was hiding in Dracula’s Castle.
Valor Mortis is still a thoroughly engaging experience that left me more than satisfied with my time going through its story and learning about its world.
But the overall experience is one of a narrative that puts too much trust in its consumers to respect who or what’s being consumed, and the result is a beautiful-at-moments maze with sadly nothing at its center.
Kingdom Hearts Collection 1-3 on Switch 2 is a fantastic package that is so close to being completely on par with the Integrum Masterpiece release.
Galactic Racer is another example of a studio taking some well-educated risks with the Star Wars IP to create something truly special.
Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve is both one of the strongest entry points for newcomers, and still a treat for longtime fans.
That being said, Escape From Monday clearly does enough right, as I went right back to find every lasagne, complete every time trial, and go for 100 percent.
It’s a short, beautiful game, both visually and narratively, filled with adorable characters and stunning dioramas that are incredibly satisfying to piece back together.
It doesn’t quite reach the level of enjoyment I got out of Silent Hill f last year; however, there are a lot of elements that work incredibly well here, making this another strong entry in the franchise that I’d absolutely love to see inspire future games in the series.
Control Resonant is so spectacular that they’re worth putting up with. It’s another great entry in the Remedyverse, and I’m all in on what the studio wants to do next.
Fortune's Weave takes the foundations of modern Fire Emblem, stretches them further than I could have ever expected, and somehow makes that enormous ambition feel justified.
