With positive context, it’s an ‘another Assassin’s Creed game’. The visuals have definitely improved to follow suit with the latest generation of console. Can’t say that it has received any revolutionary updates since the prequel, but for the fans who were waiting for a ‘new Assassin’s Creed game’, it’s a good game that fills your satisfactory expectations nonetheless.

Another great ‘Spider-man game’ for those who know what I’m talking about. Technically, the game itself is a spin-off from the original so there aren’t too many elements that are to be deemed as improvements, but it kept all the positive technicalities and successfully debuted the new Spider-man, Miles Morales.

Necronator: Dead Wrong is a simplified real-time strategy (RTS) simulator. At first you’d think that this looks similar to a typical tower defence game. But honestly, even if you think this way, you would get your ways around playing this game. Since strategy is key, you cannot just spam the most strongest units until the end. Basic understanding of taking one step back to advance more steps is somewhat required. The downside is, once the fundamentals are mastered, most of the later stages become repetitive. Thankfully, developers are considering more playable contents so look out for those updates in the near future.

Disc Room requires the players to focus every second of the gameplay. Sometimes you’d even think that the developers want you to suffer and feel pain as if they are enjoying torturing the players because of their lack of skills. But there are still parts where they considered the wide range of players who would try an easier difficulty or apply less violent visuals. Even if you’re not a fan of the bullet-hell genre, give this game a go to. There aren’t much games out there that openly show ‘consideration’ for their players.

This is one of the best examples of ‘remastered’ versions of the classic. Even if the new look isn’t your favorite cup of tea, once you get to play the actual game, it blends in really well. It’s priced just under $10 for Nintendo Switch, which is a great value in comparison to many other reboot/classic games’ price range. Great choice for those who are hunting for some of the best value games with great gameplay.

If you’re a fan of the Ys series, this one’s a must have to get to know the past of the first initial game that started all this. There are many questionable elements which may serve as an obstacle for some of the modern gamers so you would have to be a true fan of the game as well as having the heart to play classic retro games to be able to endure most of them. At least with its affordable pricing, it’s not a bad game to play on the go.

With added defensive maneuvers to dodge or parry allows more interactions when it comes to One Chanbara Origin’s zombie slasher.. Traditionally, the game always lacks in many aspects and somehow this PS4 version of the title also didn’t disappoint. At least the improvements in character action with plenty of freedom to roam and some of the controls reward with more powerful moves when timed correctly. Thismay just be the medicine to cure most of the game’s lacking elements. Even for those who haven't experienced the original game, you’re not missing out much. Plus points for Korean subtitles and Korean voice acting.

For around $3, you get 295 courses, various game modes, multiple collectibles and plenty of replay value for you to get the best records. Simple controls which almost everyone can get into. Even within the same course, certain mechanics and gimmicks would change the strategy drastically. The downside is, since the core mechanics stay put, once you ‘get it’, the entire game can quickly be foreseen and feel obsolete.

Don’t be fooled by its cute little looks, Plebby Quest: The Crusades is actually a really well made strategy game. You may need some time to get used to if you’ve never played a strategy and planning style games but the game progressively teaches the players what to do as you play along. The theme is pretty simple looking and enjoyable for long sessions. If you’re a super serious gamer, perhaps it may not be the most seriously styled game you’re looking for.

Pretty decent content for a rhythm game. Still somewhat feels missing to be considered a proper rhythm game to be fair. Most of these thoughts can be forgiven as you get to experience many of the great tracks produced by Avicii himself. The game considers the fans whom may not have the most musical talent and has an easy average difficulty for everyone to enjoy. Based on the pricing, it’s a decent value as you get to listen to your favorite Avicii songs every time you get to play. The split screen mode is a welcoming feature if you have guests around your house.

Super Mario 64 was made 24 years ago. The most recent title within the collection would be the Wii version of the game, Super Mario Wii Galaxy Adventure, which is about 11 years old. If you don’t have the respective consoles to play your favorite 3D environment of the Super Mario titles, this collection bundle is a great addition to your library. Sharper graphics on the most recent consoles is definitely a plus. If Super Mario Odyssey was your first 3D based Super Mario game, it’s a good opportunity for you to try all the classics as well. The pricing may not be the most affordable but the port is near perfect and it serves the ‘collector’s item’ purpose pretty well. Don’t miss out on this limited time bundle as they’re only sold on both digital and on shelves until the 31st of March, 2021.

It’s been a while since we saw a proper ‘arcade racing game’. The intentional polygon graphics is the key reminiscent feature of this game. Despite the looks, the game can keep up a consistent 60FPS and provides a smooth racing experience. Since it’s strictly an arcade style racer, the most pointed out element would be the fun and enjoyment instead of competition. If you’ve played any of the 90s arcade racing games, you’ll feel right at home soon after playing the first lap of Hotshot Racing.

Two college students whom mashed in their creativities brought us a cool new indie title, Hotel Sowls. It’s an RPG styled game where your objective is to solve the mysteries going around the ghostly hotel. All while reaching towards the ending, many elements of the game are going to keep you questioning as you delve into the endless chain of stories to unfold. In the end, you will most likely appreciate the effort and details the developers have put together and the best feeling is when you know the time spent playing this game was well worth it.

A great title which practically ties the knot with a cherry on top for both the Crossbell and the Erebonian empire. If you’re a loyal follower of the series, especially if you’re a fan of the Special Support Section and Rean, you'd surely be prepared for a treat. For once they didn’t force and try to squeeze every single character in existence into one title. Instead they’ve set in a clever use of the Reverie Corridor system so it doesn’t feel like a big mash up. Of course, there are some storylines that remain confusing and seems that they’re obsessed with betrayal plot twists, but these mirrored dimensions through the Reverie Corridor makes them somewhat acceptable. It’s for sure the endgame theme of a long running series, and a great checkpoint for more surprises to come in the near future.

The Korean developers of Buried Stars intended to show the reality of struggles that Korea is currently facing the ‘popularity culture’. The current status of anonymous acts over the internet culture as well as the shades over the popularity contest (such as being a celebrity) is the main focus of the game’s story plot. The game shows some of the best illustrations and visuals and the contents are well designed to cover up some of the little nitpicks here and there.

Before it’s original release, it was going to be the scapegoat of the popular cult game ‘Root Letter’. Root Film had stood up firmly with improved visuals and more of the complete feel in the story than its predecessor. As a text adventure game, it doesn’t provide any multiple choice branches and to hear every single voice dialog, the gameplay can extend to roughly about 15 hours. Even if you skip some of the obvious bits, it will be well rounded to about 10 hours. Certainly enjoyable as you explore deeply into the story but the full price of approximately $60 for the Korean version of the game can feel a bit hefty for what it provides.

Within the collection package, there are so many back stories and contents that if you’re a true fan of the series, they surely are all worth checking out. The most interactive feature would be the graphical enhancement of HD scaling which allows some of the older Samurai Shodown games to feel like you’re playing them at a higher resolution. This game may not be the best Samurai Showdown or at least the fighting game experience you’ll get if this was your first ever interaction of the genre. There are no elements that would teach you the game to get good at when played against other fighting game players. So it’s best to be purchased if you’re a fan of this classic title. Sadly, the game only provides localizations of the menus, thus you would require a little knowledge in the foreign language game to perfectly understand the story elements of the 7 Samurai Shodown games in this package.

The PS4 version of Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS. MaxiBoost ON allows legacy controls which is a great consideration of the fans of this long running series. With decent online playability, it truly brings the arcade feeling at the comfort of your own gaming room. The console only content, namely ‘MaxiBoost Mission’ is a great tool for players to learn and improve on the game’s competitive element. Since the core design of the game is human interaction in terms of competition and showing off the best skills, if you’re a single player gamer at heart, it may not be the best Gundam game of your choice.

The game feels ‘complete’ to be appointed as one of the best open world environment games. With impressive visuals and audio, the combat system, exploration, responsive controls and swift loading times are all something gamers love and adore. The game can be played as chill and laid back with collective elements, as well as rough and action based with its vast difficulties in combat. The game can be well renowned as one of the main faces of all major PS4 titles.

If you’re an owner of a PS4 console, this is a must have game. The visuals easily push through the limitations of the PS4 and the mysterious yet interactive chain reactions of all characters throughout the story is something you must experience as a gamer. The perfect balance between action and plot is well designed until the very end. There are many adjustable options for everyone to enjoy.
