FIFA 23 welcomes the future of football gaming with Hypermotion2. With the considerable improvements made, this is undoubtedly one of the most authentic football games ever. It’s sad to see a historic franchise come to a close, but FIFA 23 capped off a great ending to what has been an inconsistent era.
Despite being 100% linear, the hack-and-slash features in Valkyrie Elysium make it seem like it belongs in the souls genre, regardless of the game's action RPG label. The game suffers clear production restrictions even though there is nothing fundamentally wrong or terrible with to describe it. The problem is that the entire experience is just tiresome. Valkyrie Elysium delivers an inconsistent experience with its mix of good gameplay, uninspiring plot, and level design. This remake is an admirable effort at a fresh start, but it won't go down in history as a classic.
Slime Rancher 2 is a stunning game. The visuals are incredible, the gameplay is fun and addictive and the world is fun to explore. It is the epitome of what a sequel should be, an improvement upon the predecessor with few drawbacks. Though the game suffers some frame rate drops and the 'combat' could be tweaked to be more creative. Slime Rancher 2 remains a fantastic game.
NBA 2k23 has taken to the next level. The closest I have felt to experiencing real-life basketball games. It has all the elements which comfortably fit your play style. I am very impressed as to how they have improved almost every aspect of the game. This is the best NBA 2K game, without question. Although, a few updates would help address a few of the noticeable bugs and glitches, such as how the ball sometimes travels through players’ hands. Other than that, I strongly recommend you get this.
Destroy All Humans! 2: Reprobed has managed to deliver the nostalgia for players, and it was strange but fun at the same time to play a classic on a current-gen console platform. Although, there are some areas that needed improvement, which would have made the experience far much greater. However, for the money, it’s pretty steep, especially for a game which had originally released two generations ago.
Soulstice, developed by Reply Game Studios, is perhaps the studio’s most audacious project to date. A well-made game that does its best is nonetheless far below the genre’s best. Despite its fresh take on fighting and the dual blue and red field mechanism introduced in the game’s sister pair, Soulstice still seems like a carbon copy of other superior hack-and-slash titles. If these issues are addressed, Soulstice might stand out as a pleasant surprise and become an enjoyable game.
Way of the Hunter provides the authenticity you need to probably have the best virtual hunting experience. Still, it also comes with some baggage, such as a story, which the developer could have placed more emphasis on. When you think about these things, they make the game to be inconsistent overall.
Commandos 3: HD Remaster is ultimately a game that has failed to deliver. While it may be authentic to the original Commandos 3 experience, that is really a failure rather than a success. It fails to really improve the game in any way other than its visuals. The gameplay is still as clunky as it always was, and the game still features legacy bugs that have been present in the title since 2003. It is a shame, but Commandos 3: HD Remastered is more of a re-release as opposed to a remaster.
Gerda: A Flame in Winter is a brilliantly done RPG. In the art department, it is insanely good, but the sound design could be done in a way that immerses the players a lot more than it does in its current state. The RPG system is nothing new, but it is very nuanced and immersive. Many aspects of the story, like the internal conflicts, make it interesting. It is predictable, sure, but it is really good, and isn’t that all that matters?
Like No Other: The Legend of the Twin Books is a short point-and-click adventure title. Explore the abandoned town of Red Pines and interact with the few who continue to dwell there. And finally, uncover the legend that has continued to live on in Red Pines.
MX Vs ATV Legends seems unfinished. This is not an improvement to the predecessor; in fact, you could consider this a downgrade. You can even make a case for this being the worst game of the franchise. Although the developers are on to something with the features, on the flip side, with almost everything else that pretty much blows it out the water, I am amazed that even after going through the testing process, the developer still felt this game was worthy of releasing in this state.
Super Bullet Break pits you as Akari, a young woman against an evil AI. Your saved game files are in danger of deletion. Will you be able to stop the Singulaladies from overwriting your files with their own? I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a frustrating ride. If you’ve something of a short fuse, it’d be best to avoid increasing your blood pressure with Super Bullet Break. If you’re really into uphill battles, this is certainly one that poses a challenge to anyone hard-headed enough to accept it.
South of the Circle runs for about three or four hours, and that is the completionist time. This means that you can do pretty much anything there is to be done in this game in only four hours. So it is an experience you can get through in one sitting, which is something that we all need sometimes. If you want to experience something short and sweet at the same time, South of the Circle is the game you must check out.
Endling: Extinction is Forever does not do anything more than pointing a finger at these problems and expect you to get something more. Yet the emotional connection in the game between the fox and the player relies on their love for the animals.
There is something very satisfying about a game exceeding your expectations. Amazingly, a simple concept could be delightful. Almost every aspect of Stray is great. An epitome of what an indies game should be. It is a shame that the story was short.
The Guild 3 is a unique game that is saturated with choice. So much so that the game can be overly complicated and difficult to master. Once the long grind of learning the game is over, The Guild 3 opens up to become a fun yet tedious experience. It has a fantastic atmosphere and massive potential going forward should the developers continue to support it.
Stray is a brilliant but short experience that leaves a good taste in one’s mouth. Though the story itself is not the most enticing part, Stray is fun and cute in many more ways. The gameplay, the level design, the characters, and the world are intriguing enough to keep playing and wanting more. It is wholesome, and the main character is a cat! What more can a person want?
Matchpoint - Tennis Championships is the most authentic tennis experience in modern gaming, and a game with great potential shouldn't go to waste. The game is on the right track. The gameplay is probably the best tennis experience you can get in a game. You enjoy vigorous matches and have the joy of the new ranking system based on how well you play.
Naraka: Bladepoint has potential. There are some originalities, and that’s one thing gamers thoroughly appreciate. However, I don’t think this game is ready to compete with the top dogs of Battle Royale gaming. It needs to give more to even be close to competing with the best in the genre.
Frozenheim is a fun and unpolished title. The game features fun settlement building and engaging combat, but it is bogged down with a poor story, a lack of content (Units and Buildings) and due to that has a severe lack of replayability. Despite these negatives. Frozenheim still manages to be a fun and engaging experience.
