Rocket Arena is a delightful breath of fresh air in the increasingly saturated hero shooter genre, mixing elements from old-school shooters, 3D platformers, and even freaking Super Smash Bros of all games.
You’ll be greeted with some really smart puzzles, a great difficulty curve that will constantly add new mechanics and features for you to deal with, a deep (but flawed) level creator, and that typical “so bad it’s good” pun-infested sense of humor I can’t help but love.
REZ PLZ was a fantastic surprise that had a great idea and fully dove into it. It fills a void in the video game industry that has mostly turned its back on couch co-op. Not only it does that pretty well, but it also provides a unique experience full of humor and brain teasing puzzles.
No, Neon Abyss is definitely not a bad game. In fact, even in its current state, it’s actually quite good and I’d easily recommend it to Switch owners. But this is a perfect case of wasted potential. It could have been so much better if it wasn’t for the infuriating framerate issues that ruined way more runs than I can possibly remember.
Total Tank Simulator won’t exactly please hardcore strategy fans, but there’s a lot more to it than being just a toy soldier war game with silly graphics. It knows how to please both newcomers and veterans with its gameplay which, albeit simple, is a lot deeper than I could have ever expected from a game with such an unremarkable name, giving you equal chances to defeat your enemies either by sheer force or by being thoughtful and strategic.
At the end of the day, outside of some frustrating confusion, and maybe a bit more time looking in rooms for items that might not exist, OutBuddies is an enjoyable way to pass the time.
Void Terrarium is very flawed and riddled with very questionable difficulty spike decisions, but it also features some strong redeeming qualities. For every dungeon crawling run that results in an unfair death, you will be sent back to the main hub, interact with that poor little girl, and feel a near-maternal urge to try your luck yet again in order to find items that will help her survive in this beautiful yet hostile world.
Trackmania is one of those games that’s just fun with a capital F. It doesn’t redefine the genre or bring anything new to the table, but is a highly polished example of it. Other than a janky menu UI, there’s nothing it does overtly wrong. Some may be turned off by the subscription model, but with no microtransactions and Ubisoft’s typical support coming over the next few months, I feel it’s still more than worth it.
In a year where F1 is doomed to be reduced to a mere husk of what it used to be back in the day, F1 2020 is here to remind us of how exciting this sport can actually be. This is Codemasters’ most impressive game to date and I have no idea of how they’ll be able to surpass my expectations in 2021.
This game does an incredible job of blending point-and-click gameplay with adventure, mystery, levity, and puzzles, all within one cohesive package. My only suggestion would be to perhaps wait a bit for some patches to come out to fix the numerous bugs. Other than those, this game has the makings of becoming another cult classic.
Remaking Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town for another portable system ended up being a really smart idea. Everything that made the game work so well on-the-go all those years ago is still here, but with better graphics, music, performance, and some additional content.
Yes, the framerate is stupidly janky, killing whatever sensation of speed the game was trying to offer to players. Still, I had way more fun with this game than I could have ever expected. It aims to please a specific niche of racing fans and succeeds, mostly due to its unbelievably deep and addictive career mode.
Hunting Simulator 2 unfortunately misses the majority of feelings that come with actual hunting. With cumbersome systems, clunky gameplay, unbalanced currency system, and no dynamic day/night cycle, Hunting Simulator 2 feels like a test of patience in the wrong way, that ultimately does not pay off.
I’m thrilled that THQ Nordic decided to revisit the best SpongeBob game out there. Not only does it make it more accessible to a whole new generation, but it gives us long time fans an excuse to explore Bikini Bottom once more. Yes, it does still have its fair share of issues, but SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is so fun that you really won’t even care.
This is a good collection if you’re interested in owning the entirety of the Samurai Shodown catalogue originally released for the NeoGeo for a more affordable pricetag, but I feel like Digital Eclipse could (and should) have added some extra games and quality of life improvements in order to make this collection a true must-have for retro enthusiasts.
This isn’t just one of the most entertaining VR games I’ve played in years, but one of the most entertaining games in general I have played in a very long time. It is hindered by the limited horsepower provided by the PS4 and the PSVR, but what the people at Camouflaj have managed to achieve with so many limitations is absolutely impressive.
Pilots of Darsalon is an occasionally fun love letter to games like Solar Jetman, but there’s not a lot in here besides that same gameplay loop from more than thirty years ago. Just like Dr. Kucho’s previous outing, this is something you will only truly enjoy if you are a big fan of its sources of inspiration, and if you can put up with the game’s somewhat annoying “back in my day” sense of humor.
There are some great ideas in Wildfire, such as the way you can handle the elements to interact with the environment around you, but what we ended up getting instead was a shallow cinematic platformer with some janky controls, repetitive level design, and lots of framerate issues.
Two years ago, I fell in love with CrossCode. Playing this brand new port on the Switch just reminded me of why I loved that game so much back in the day, and to be fair, this might even be the superior version of this already pristine game.
The concept is outstanding and I wanted to love it, I really did. Aside from the numerous issues I’ve already mentioned, the biggest downfall is that it just didn’t know what kind of game it wanted to be.
