If you were looking for a solid adventure which nicely expands the singular world of Lamplight City, Rosewater delivers.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate is an enjoyable multiplayer roguelike starring one of entertainment’s most long lasting franchises and it’s now getting some DLC, bringing Casey Jones into the game.
Wanderstop’s excellent writing, great music and laid-back atmosphere make it a nice game to unwind with.
As it is, though, this remaster is the most approachable way to replaying both games as they are not available digitally outside of the soon-to-be deactivated PS3 store. With its release on just about every modern platform, this is, obviously, the readiest form to play these games. So if you don’t have a PS3 at the ready with both games in its hard-drive or were lucky enough to hold onto their original PS1 discs from back in the day, there’s only one legal avenue left to go. Even if it’s not the ideal one, at least it exists, right?
If you haven’t picked up an Assassin’s Creed game in a few years, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a welcome return to form.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories and the Envisioned Land comfortably serves as an excellent jumping in point to those looking into playing the Atelier games.
A short and sweet platformer with tons of charm, MainFrames is excellent time all around.
Long-time fans of Team Ninja’s titles should certainly enjoy all that Rise of the Ronin has to offer, but others may want to wait for a few more patches before diving in.
Monster Hunter Wilds is a beast of a game filled with incredible hunts and beautiful environments to explore… if your computer can handle its state at launch.
Carmen Sandiego is broadly decent, but it feels like it should have gone a step further, both in its throwback homage to the original game, and in its modernization efforts.
Eduardo and Gareth discuss their experiences with exploring the medieval landscapes of Bohemia in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II.
If you have the means of playing this on any other platform, it’s a good recommendation to those looking to immerse themselves into the already packed, story-rich universe that The Legend of Heroes is. Like the original, it’s the best jumping in point, and in case you haven’t played that game, there’s a handy glossary that will get you up to speed on the events that precede it, letting you get into the action right away. And you’ll surely want to do so, since even the worst of these tends to be a step above most RPGs of its kind – even with warts and all, Daybreak 2 is no exception to that rule.
As it stands, this is yet another decent addition to the Switch’s digital marketplace of retro releases. X-Out: Resurfaced is a cool curiosity to pop out of what would otherwise be the depths of videogaming side catalog. That’s not to say it’s a bad game, though. While I wouldn’t call it a must-buy, it is a neat little download to have in case you get a hankering to play something old-school on the go.
The Stone of Madness is an intriguing new direction for The Game Kitchen. While it has its frustrations, it surpasses its superficial similarity to other games to strike out in a unique direction of its own. If the studio can iron out some of the remaining issues, it may become essential.
While the games included aren’t the prime examples of what made Tomb Raider so good in the first place, they are still very much worth owning and experiencing.
Robobeat meets the basic expectations for a game of its type. Its weapons, enemies, soundtrack, and level design are all adequate but it falls short due to its lack of a unique hook, or compelling reason to exist.
If you’ve been enjoying the Insomniac Spider-Man games previously on PC, Spider-Man 2 absolutely scratches more of the same itch.
With frustrating combat and linear yet opaque progression, this samurai fails his mission.
A weird combination of gameplay elements makes Frogue a very unique and enjoyable game.
All in all, Mark of the Deep is mixed. The idea of having elements from a variety of genres sounds good on paper, but if the execution isn’t fully there, it makes for a game that is bound to sink instead of swimming. And that’s the case for this one as it is at launch. With some much needed TLC, Mark of the Deep might make it to shore unscathed, but it’s a shame it’s at this point to begin with, considering the studio’s previous experience in successfully designing enjoyable alternatives to established gameplay styles.
