But it’s pretty much “just” the music and bosses I have issues with, the game otherwise works quite well, is extremely well-polished, outside of the otherwise uncharacteristic framerate issue with the fourth stage, as on-rails shooters tend to be!
I recognize a lot of the concerns people might have about this version of the game. Trust me, though, if you can overlook the lack of a true multiplayer, it is absolutely the best version of the game. The graphical overhaul is nothing short of astounding and the inclusion of small tweaks and new levels give people who are both new to the franchise and returning fans something to like about this release. It might not be the version everyone hoped for, but I implore you to give it a chance.
The downside is that there isn’t much else to say. Honestly, it is a pretty good game and a competent port. If you skipped the PS4 remaster, you might as well get this one. Otherwise, there is absolutely no reason to buy it. If you’ve never tried Darksiders before and the style appeals to you, then you won’t regret getting this version.
You will make mistakes, learn from them, go with the flow, and don’t get TOO twitchy, because that’ll end you as fast as overthinking can. You can do anything this game puts in front of you, and the game knows that as well as you do. This is the definition of a game where the skill ceiling is in space, and everything you put into it, it will reward you for in turn. I absolutely adore this game, if it wasn’t clear, and wholly recommend.
Mixtape is more than just a video game I highly recommend you play; it’s a piece of media everyone should experience. It’s a perfectly crafted labour of love that hits on all the right emotional levels. And even though the gameplay segments themselves might be a little shallow in interactivity, they do just enough, paired with the game’s narrative, to make you not just feel like you are watching a story but living through it.
For the time being, however, MOTORSLICE is a pretty dang interesting parkour platformer, and I would genuinely suggest checking it out!
I think honestly, Starfield is a great game. It manages to be a great role-playing experience that is full of creativity and visual flair. There are unfortunately many elements in the game that feel outdated. Whether that is the segmentation of the game, or the space sections themselves, it is a game that feels like it would have been more impressive Bethesda were more attentive to the competition. Furthermore, we do have to recognize that there ought to be a little more polish in the game’s release given it is quite simply a port of an almost three year old game.
Overall, High on Life 2 is actually quite a great game, and an even better experience. Those attuned to humor will really appreciate the style and creative flair in this game. The movement and guns are fun and varied enough to make the rest of the game enjoyable. If it managed to do more with the hub worlds and technical issues, it may have been even more impressive.
If you like horror, specifically a quieter, more atmospheric horror, or prefer ghosts to other monsters, Crimson Butterfly Remake is absolutely your huckleberry.
Children of the Leaf does go through familiar motions and it isn’t quite as ambitious as a sequel ought to be, but just like the first outing it will leave an emotional imprint. There’s always room for modest indie games, especially ones as elegant as Planet of Lana, even if this follow-up doesn’t vastly change the established.
Do you appreciate fast-paced, challenging if -- occasionally rather frustrating -- combat? Are you a fan of what would be, in other, entirely more cowardly games, unreasonably delicious anime katsu curry scenes, assuming you're not me and don't undercook or burn most of them? Do you like love stories? I'm serious. This second to last question is the most difficult part, considering current financial situations throughout the world at the time of this writing: does this sound like it's worth $50? Finally, does any of this game seem interesting to you? Then absolutely buy it, it's completely worth it.
It might be the specifics here, the action, twitchiness, being able to play as these characters again outside of the original games or BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle, or just something I can’t quite place my finger on. I genuinely quite enjoyed my time here, and hope the best for future updates. Now, if you don’t mind, I’m just gonna go find a rock to skip across these waters before I take another dip.
I can promise you, if you’re the kind of person that sees that trailer, has an interest in skating games, or the indie scene in general? If you’ve got a curious mind and an interest in more underground studies? If you don’t take yourself too seriously.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a fantastic 2D beat ’em that cleverly leans into its bright and colorful comic book roots, that any Marvel fan of even finds a way to pay tribute to its 2D Fighting games in the process. It has the most evolved beat ’em up gameplay yet, with modern touches and a charming and large roster of characters that keep the action fresh. While some design choices do hold it back slightly, a clear love of the source material make this pixel art beat em up, an easy recommended must play.
This is just me speaking, but I just kind of doubt that I, personally, will remember this game in the next couple of years, positively or negatively. I do not think that She’s Leaving, as Blue Hat’s debut title, is a particularly special or memorable title overall. Is that the game’s fault? Absolutely not, it, like the Welshman that chases Officer Dalton throughout the House, just didn’t really grab me, is all.
I’ll be looking into the proper anime in due time… after I look into what’s considered worth watching, this seems to be more contentious than I expected going into it. If you don’t fit any of those? I honestly can’t say, it is, despite my love for this game, still very much a niche title. Can’t hurt to try it, even then, but be mindful, as always.
Western RPGs have come along way in recent years. And in a post-modern design world — one with Baulder’s Gate III and Expedition 33 — I fear that Bethesda’s designs have gotten stale and bled into other studios. It feels basic at everything with subpar writing, a weird mission structure, and combat — while good, it isn’t anything new and different.
1000xRESIST is genuinely perfect for what it is. I cannot demand, but I can very strongly suggest with every fiber of my being, that if you love art in any and all of its forms then you owe it to yourself to play this title. I would suggest, however, that you find something lighter to play, read, listen to or watch after. It does have rough and extremely heavy subject matters, and even if you do love art, you might want to consider what subjects you are currently able to handle before you do. Once more, Hekki Grace, reader. I’ll see you on the other side.
Without question, Ninja Gaiden 4 has amazing combat. Yakamo journey will send you head first like a blood-soaked death tornado. Those seeking old school gory action will love it, and its challenge will satisfy long time fans of the series. If you can turn your brain off and enjoy its forgettable story, there is a fun game here. But its lacking in depth for those looking for the next great ninja revenge tale.
Yeah it’s still a nostalgia trip riding on the coattails of Rare’s finest, but Yooka-Laylee was always meant to be a tribute rather than an innovator in the genre. Replaylee is definitely the best way to play this game and you should definitely check it out, but you better love Rare platforming classics and gratuitously incessant character voices.
