Console Creatures's Reviews
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III's campaign might not be much to discuss, but the multiplayer feels excellent.
Super Mario RPG is legitimately one of the best video games ever. The original is timeless, and the Switch remake excels at updating the experience to a definitive sheen while retaining all the personality and memorable moments.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is Kiryu's best adventure yet, thanks to a narrative that actively explores the Dragon of Dojima's character depth in a tearjerker of an ending, alongside fun and engaging gameplay and tons of side content.
Cities: Skylines II is a surface-level upgrade to a city-building sim leader that needs a little time in the community before it's truly a game to call home. But what's on offer is well worth the cost of moving in.
Star Ocean The Second Story R is what a remake should be — a project that finely tunes and updates the original. The attention to detail, the upgraded environments, and the changes to the combat deliver an incredible experience.
WarioWare: Move It! is sheer joy, and it is hard not to find yourself smiling when attempting an awkward pose with a group of friends.
Jusant is a game with purpose and adventure at every turn. It's carefully crafted to create an adventure worth conquering, this is an indie title filled with emotion and beautiful discoveries.
RoboCop: Rogue City is a delightful blend of nostalgia, action, and engaging storytelling. While it may have minor flaws, it's a must-play for franchise fans and gamers looking for a fun, action-packed experience.
Little Goody Two Shoes is a gorgeous fairy tale brought to life. Elise's journey is dreary and filled with several exciting moments.
Despite a unique setup and art style, Wizard with a Gun fails in critical areas of gameplay and crafting mechanics.
As a sequel, Ghostrunner 2 delivers an exciting and worthwhile entry by elevating the series to new heights.
Hellboy Web of Wyrd has the skeleton to improve in a sequel but it suffers at times despite having fun combat and sometimes fun roguelite elements.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder delivers one of the best 2D Mario games in decades, providing an experience unquestionably tied to Nintendo’s identity.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged won't blow you away with its depth. But it might with its customization options, speed, and sense of scale.
Lords of the Fallen shows promise and delivers an exciting adventure but falls short of providing a consistently engaging Souls-like experience.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 feels natural, which is not always easy to do with a spiritual second game. The tagline "Be Greater Together" touches every part of this original adventure and lends an easygoing and natural experience when it gets over the few stumbles of pacing and trying to pack in various iconic characters with individual stories.
NHL 24 has made significant on-ice improvements. And despite a somewhat frustrating online experience, it's undeniable that the team at EA is taking this series in the right direction.
EA Sports FC 24 is a marginal improvement over its FIFA predecessor but still features several gameplay issues that the previous games have continued to have.
Assassin's Creed Mirage sets out to achieve a specific goal and delivers one of the best games in the series in ages. While the experience has some problems worth mentioning, I never felt any of them deterred the total experience for me.
Detective Pikachu Returns is an excellent follow-up to its predecessor, expanding the world around Tim and Pikachu. However, the sequel mostly plays it safe by giving you more of the same experience.
