Blazing Chrome captures very well the glory days of the SEGA & SNES era. The atmosphere, the difficulty, the retro tunes…everything is there.
With beautiful designs and a new style of gameplay Super Neptunia RPG tries something new but performance issues, combat that can often drag, and a story that is only held up by its humor and the player’s love of the characters limits its appeal to only the die-hard fans of the series or those looking for something a bit different from the genre norms.
A solid realistic RTS hobbled by extremely steep learning curve, awkward control schemes, and disjointed single player scenarios.
Although a bit archaic on some of the single player content Samurai Shodown manages to successfully bring its style of combat to the current generation of consoles and deliver a technical fighter that is rare to find these days.
With a solid albeit repetitive mini-game and a story that is easy to get hooked on once the twists start flying in, Kotodama: The 7 Mysteries of Fujisawa may have some flaws but delivers an unexpectedly solid mystery story that hopefully gets touched on again in the future.
Our World is Ended may struggle with its tone and pacing out its plot in a satisfying way but its extremely eccentric cast of characters and free-wheeling approach to humor hold it up enough to deliver a fairly unexpected story that may appeal to those looking for something a little different from the norm.
While deceptively simple, Pagan Online offers a lot more under the hood.
Judgment may still feel a bit like its pulling too much from the Yakuza series but its brand new cast of characters, satisfying narrative that draws the player in, and just enough detective mechanics help it stand on its own merits.
A unique approach to combat as well as its character growth system combined with a solid storyline with a great cast of characters make Dragon Star Varnir a strong RPG that brings enough to the table to stand out.
Void Bastards is a tense and cerebral rogue-lite that mixes the best of FTL: Faster than Light and System Shock.
Shakedown: Hawaii delivers a unique brand of humor and some solid arcade action in a world players will love to destroy and then build back up with their own brand plastered right on it.
Neptunia Shooter may take its simplistic design a bit too far character wise but delivers a solid and cheap shooter experience that fans of the genre will enjoy.
Although the enjoyable RPG mechanics can be a bit tiresome eventually and the balance between the RPG and visual novel side can feel off Death end re;Quest’s brilliantly written storyline will keep players hooked.
While it initially looks like a simple top-down arcade game, American Fugitive hides a lot under the hood.
Rage 2 offers exhilarating combat with firearms and Nanotrite abilities making the player feel like a powerhouse but its lacking open world and story structure drags down the experience between firefights.
A Plague Tale: Innocence offers a fantastic story backed by excellent voice actors and a decent stealth-adventure mechanics. Just don’t expect a major challenge.
A game that has a remaster in its title without passing the bare minimum to be acknowledged as one.
Fade to Silence’s strong premise is marred by clumsy execution, poor writing, and painfully slowed pacing.
Those looking for a new tactical RPG that harkens back to the classics of the genre will find that Fell Seal: Arbiter’s Mark manages to do that and more by creating a unique story that sets itself apart from the rest.
Featuring an entertaining time-bending storyline and a better fighting system than ever before Mortal Kombat 11’s persistence in grinding and cheap mechanics nearly spoil everything outside of the fight.
