9.5 / 10.0 - Asgard's Wrath 2
Mar 18, 2024

Overall, Asgard’s Wrath 2 is the epic ARPG that I’ve always wanted in VR. It doesn’t hold back in scope and depth of gameplay in order to fit into the traditional bite sized nature of a VR experience. This is a full fledged ARPG that will absorb you for hours. It was constantly putting a smile on my face as it throws new and fun things at me around every turn. From the frantic fights, to the fun and involved followers, to the godly puzzles and epic bosses, this game has it all.

9 / 10.0 - As Dusk Falls
Mar 18, 2024

Interactive narrative games might not be for everyone, but As Dusk Falls is still one that I’ll recommend to just about everyone. It keeps you constantly engaged, with high stakes and choices that actually matter, no matter how seemingly insignificant they might seem. This is one of the first interactive dramas that’s managed no not only hold my attention, but kept me so captivated that I finished my first playthrough in one sitting. Then I went back for more. If you’re on the fence about checking it out, I implore you to not let the curtain fall on As Dusk Falls.

9 / 10.0 - WWE 2K24
Mar 15, 2024

Every feature of 2K23 has been enhanced tenfold, and as a result, it’s a goddamn joy to mess around in the various modes. MyUniverse has gotten extra cutscenes that round out the experience, while MyGM has ample flesh on the bone. I might have encountered a handful of blunders during my session, but they can be fixed with a snap. After investing hours, I’m intrigued by what a higher-caliber sequel could look like.

Granblue Fantasy Relink was not only well worth the wait, but it blew my expectations clear out of the water. If I’m honest, I anticipated a JRPG that was a bit above average but wouldn’t really be a blip in a Game of the Year discussion. Well, shut my mouth because, while it does tell the traditional tale of preventing the apocalypse, it handles it exceptionally.

Contra: Operation Galuga is not a long or groundbreaking title, but after the poor reception generated by its predecessor, a simple return to form for the franchise was the ideal way to go. It retains the gameplay loop, challenge and adrenaline from old school Contra, with a series of gameplay, accessibility, replayability, and quality of life improvements.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story is yet another solid hit by Digital Eclipse. Whether or not you have any history with the name, you’ll be sure to get to know him inside and out with this documentary.

So what you have here is a friendly reminder of why Battlefront was one of the coolest gaming sub-franchises of the mid-2000s. Aspyr didn’t exactly do a lot to remaster these games in this collection, but at the very least, they didn’t compromise them. The very few additions (bigger player count, online multiplayer, and a vast improvement on the Hero Assault variety) are still very welcome.

I can’t help but feel like the BlazBlue branding in Entropy Effect feels tacked on, almost like a last minute addition to ensure some extra sales, but as a game, it’s actually a pretty good roguelike. It looks good enough, and its combat and powerup systems are really solid. Even though I didn’t care at all about its plot, I got hooked on its gameplay loop. At the end of the day, that’s what really matters. It might be BlazBlue in name only, but this little roguelike is a welcome surprise regardless.

Of the Red, The Light and the Ayakashi Tsuzuri isn’t a well known visual novel, but it’s a unique one, and something that really captivated both my attention and my imagination. Full of disembodied moments of curiosity and philosophy, you'll find yourself sleepwalking along with Yue along his journey.

5.5 / 10.0 - The Inquisitor
Mar 10, 2024

I cannot stress how disappointed I was with The Inquisitor. It’s all due to how much I wanted to love it. Its setting and premise are downright amazing. I loved Königstein and the mysteries haunting it. I wanted to know what would happen next in this crapsack world. Sadly, that required playing the actual game, which ended up being janky, messy, and full of questionable design choices.

6 / 10.0 - Berserk Boy
Mar 8, 2024

Overall, I found it hard to enjoy playing Berserk Boy for more than one level at a time. By the end of a tediously long level, and being handed some enemies attacking the hub, I was ready to switch to pretty much anything else. I don’t need to play the same levels with a different colour scheme and the enemies in slightly different positions over and over again to know that I’m not having fun.

Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties: Definitive Edition is a brave, admirable release, and I implore Limited Run Games to continue to do the diligence of not simplifying video game history. Some are good, some are bad, and some are ugly. This one just happens to be as bad as they come, and that’s amazing. Don’t pretend to like it, it won’t win you any awards. But you can appreciate it and the mission to keep it known, and that, in and of itself, is worth investing in.

The Warhammer 40,000 Special Pack doesn’t act like a pleasant surprise like the Final Fantasy VII-themed Midgar pack did, but at this point, nothing else would have achieved the same level of excitement. It’s just a handful of additional props to clean up, more content to enjoy in what is already a cozy but highly addictive casual pasttime. Warhammer fans will get a kick out of this neat piece of fan service, whilst others might still appreciate it for the fact it’s more stuff to do in PowerWash Simulator, for a very affordable pricetag.

Top Racer Collection is a fantastic way for fans to relive the long-forgotten Top Gear games in one single package. Even i the games themselves didn’t exactly age very well, they have garnered a monstrous fanbase for a reason. There’s fun to be had with these dated, but iconic racing games, in a remastered effort that keeps the important bits intact, whilst updating menus and interface options to a more acceptable standard.

What Classified: France ’44 does well, it does very well. Everything else lands somewhere in the B- range. For that reason, it’s hard for me to give a strong recommendation for the general public like I would with something like Fire Emblem: Three Houses. But for those who enjoy tactics games or historic settings this is a winner, just maybe not at full price.

7.5 / 10.0 - The Thaumaturge
Mar 5, 2024

The Thaumaturge is a weird and unique game. It’s engaging from beginning to end, thanks to its great story and timeline based combat system that makes every fight exciting. It’s not perfect, and some pacing issues do slow the game down, especially in the side content, however, it is still well worth your time.

There’s nothing wrong with having a fun time for the sake of itself, and Cricket Through the Ages is classic and proud in this position. Go ahead and learn things wrong. Build quantum computers with a hammer. Drink beer better than your fellow football hooligan. Knock down a wicket with a bow and arrow. Deliver a killer bowl as a T-Rex. It’s all possible here, and it’s as fun to watch as it is to play. Don’t ask for a deeper meaning or an unlockable secret ending: just go play cricket, or whatever the hell this is.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the worst kind of AAA game. It was clearly mandated from higher-ups. It’s incredibly obvious that this was not what Rocksteady wanted to do, as this game, like other lame AAA live services before it (Redfall comes to mind), feels uninspired, unfocused. What’s worse, Rocksteady really tried to come up with some good things, such as Deadshot’s admittedly fun combat mechanics. Sadly, for every good thing they were able to deliver, there are two or three other elements that bring the game down several notches.

6 / 10.0 - A Void Hope
Feb 29, 2024

For an indie game that has so many ideas and potential, A Void Hope delivers a short, neat package that doesn’t invite replay or inquest. I can’t even tell if it has some kind of apolitical stance on diseases and vaccines because the dialogue is very dramatic and then just gets resolved without consequence. It’s got its moments, but there isn’t anything here that drives me to demand people play it.

The Force is strong with Nightdive. They took an old, but iconic Star Wars shooter, adapted it to their magnificent engine, remade its assets, tinkered with the presentation and gameplay, and delivered the ultimate Dark Forces experience. A game once touted to be borderline forgotten is now available on modern platforms in way that makes its original build feel like crap in comparison.
