River City Girls’ energetic storyline may falter near the end but this beat’em up is a prime example of what the genre is capable of as it delivers some great combat set in a fantastic world that thrives in its uniqueness. These girls are ready to kick butt in the name of love and those that take that journey with them are in for an amazing game.
Gears 5 expands on its world both through gameplay and storytelling and delivers the same intense action that fans have come to love in gorgeously detailed environments all while offering a multiplayer mode with more options than a lancer could cut through.
Children of Morta is a fantastic rogue-lite that mixes in elements of action RPGs into its addictive gameplay loop.
It can be a bit difficult to nail down just what makes a game a remaster or a remake and Catherine: Full Body falls a bit in-between these lines as it continues to deliver a unique experience with a solid storyline, albeit one that some may have already seen most of.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan tells a spooky tale sure to unnerve most players and although it has some issues it does so while offering plenty of unique paths that makes the game perfect for more than one playthrough.
Double Damage Games has created the perfect gateway drug into the world of space sims. Rebel Galaxy Outlaw combines accessible mechanics with extremely polished gameplay and then wraps it all up in with an excellent presentation.
RAD captures the great highs and disastrous lows that the roguelike genre thrives on and wraps it up in a fun dated-looking package that has a distinct Double Fine flavor to it but be prepared for some long load times and some frustratingly unfair rolls of the dice to sour things a bit.
At its full launch price, The Great Perhaps is hard to recommend. The story feels jumbled, even for such a short game. The puzzles are bland, and the game has some frustrating mechanics.
Omega Labyrinth Life has its problems but a satisfying dungeon crawling experience combined with completely embracing fan-service makes this it a game that knows exactly what it is aiming for and mostly manages to hit the mark.
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom is a wonderful modern reimagination of the Wonder Boy franchise. The story and graphics are filled with nods to the franchise’s long history.
Date A Live: Rio Reincarnation may be one that only fans of the franchise as a whole may enjoy but it is also a combination of three visual novels that tell stories that fit perfectly into the overall story while giving players more of the characters they’ve come to adore.
The Blackout Club is an excellent cooperative stealth game that splashes in a little bit of horror to spice things up. While it is still plagued by some minor bugs, it’s a fantastically tense experience that fans of first person stealth games will enjoy.
Could have been a great game if only it wasn't held by bizarre gameplay features that nobody asked for.
Atelier Lulua: The Scion of Arland may feel like it could have pulled on the nostalgia of the original trilogy a bit better but this entry in the franchise delivers a comfortable storyline like fans have come to expect with enough refinements to both the synthesis and combat systems to keep them feeling fresh even to longtime fans.
For better or for worse, Earth Defense Force 5 is a fast paced shooter that pays tribute to B-movies and poorly localized PlayStation 2 games.
Attack on Titan 2: Final Battle is a great game for those who have yet to take the leap into Omega Force’s handling of the story as the excellent combat mechanics and slew of game modes spread make for quite a meaty offering, though those who already played the original Attack on Titan 2 may find the price a bit too steep for these additions.
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.
