Super Mario Party Jamboree is a slam dunk for Nintendo. In one of the finest entries from the franchise to date, these new gimmicks feel refreshing, while the booming roster helps keep this party popping at all times.
The Smurfs: Dreams is a functioning platformer, but never quite taps into enough of that magic to bring us an interesting experience to the namesake. They may be pretty, but these lands feel a bit vacant of charm and personality.
REYNATIS feels like a game that is full of good ideas but none of them manage to pan out in a satisfying enough way even if it does offer a unique but stiff approach to combat.
Metaphor: ReFantazio feels like a truly mastercrafted RPG that creates a tense high stakes world that players will sink countless hours into to experience the wonderful tale this RPG spins.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is an absolute blast that captures the over-the-top nature of the franchise’s fights perfectly while also offering a massive, albeit unbalanced, roster.
Silent Hill 2 Remake offers a satisfying combat system and expands upon an even more hauntingly gorgeous world all while retaining the psychological horror that made the original so great.
There is a lot to like about Echoes of Wisdom as its very intuitive and fresh. That said, inventive mechanics come with a cost of fluid game design, and some fans may find this one a bit tedious compared to other entries in the storied franchise.
Bloomtown: A Different Story may wear its inspirations out in the open but it still manages to pull itself together to be its own game thanks to some impressive character writing and solid gameplay.
Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE Plus delivers mysteries that will keep players coming back for more all while dripping with style and is only hindered by some drawn out dungeons.
Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a decent remaster that improves on its foundation, which is sure to be a delight to platformer fans everywhere.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster offers numerous quality of life improvements to the classic timed gameplay while improving survivor AI and offering a massive visual upgrade to the entire game.
Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics brings together a great piece of history in true form, surely to appease fans with its timeless charms and solid mechanics. While not updated, getting these titles on a new platform is sure to make any fighting fan burst into nostalgic joy.
A well-thought-out mixture of 2D/3D gameplay with some creative puzzle platforming. Although the difficulty is a walk in the park, everything else in the game makes The Plucky Squire stand out
Visions of Mana is a gorgeous-looking action RPG with a highly customizable and enjoyable combat system and an unfortunately simple storyline bolstered by a stellar cast of characters.
Yars Rising is a creative take on a classic that not only incorporates it into the game but expands upon it with an unexpected genre alongside a charming main character and solid storyline.
Hollowbody offers an intriguing biopunk setting but fails to engage players due to clunky gameplay, underwhelming sound design, and the lack of a gripping story.
Astro Bot is a modern masterpiece. Team ASOBI have created an instant classic here, reviving a genre for Sony while giving us one of the most enjoyable experiences to hit the platform in years.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection offers a wonderfully entertaining pair of stories supported by mostly entertaining mechanics that make it easy to recommend to fans of the series.
The Casting of Frank Stone may introduce interesting new mechanics and tons of references that’ll delight DbD fans but is light on actual horror and other flaws that leave this horror game lacking.
As a long-time fan, I'd pay the price of admission for Haunted Castle Revisited alone. The fact that players also get three of the best metroidvanias ever released is just too good a deal to pass.
