Unicorn Overlord is a brand-new IP that’s already made a big impact, impressing both gamers and critics. With about 50 hours of game time to enjoy, the epic story is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression, but it’s the gameplay that will first pull you in and make sure you stay for the ride. The 2D graphics with highly detailed anime art and smooth animations, along with the orchestral soundtrack and talented voice cast, are a marvel to behold. Unicorn Overlord is an RPG game like no other, and one that should not be overlooked.
You will even go on a global scoreboard for all the competitive types out there, and to add a little extra spice, if you can achieve S Rank on all stages in Final Fantasy mode, you will unlock a secret stage with a secret boss, so good luck.
Bears In Space is a fantastic game. With only three developers working on the game, and with so much attention to detail, there’s no wonder why it took them roughly seven years to release it, and everyone will enjoy this game. Besides the obstructed shooting angles, which I hope they can address, Bears In Space is a very polished game, and I have enjoyed my time playing.
Rise Of The Ronin is a deep insight into the history of Japan from the perspectives of many individuals while also carrying its own parallel narrative of your character. A massive feat in itself. The open world is full of things to do and the combat is strategically paced but also refreshing as you upgrade it with your stances, equipment and skill trees. Any issues I had with this title were very surface-level and didn’t ruin my time at all. Rise Of The Ronin was an intriguing horse in the race of games so far this year, and I lapped up everything it had to give. It might be more subtle from Team Ninja but it’s just as impressive.
Stilt is a fantastic nod to the classic platformers that have come before. It’s bright, bouncy, fluid, fun, and presents a hefty challenge. I’ve loved my time with this incredible offering and it has certainly bounced its way into my heart. I look forward to seeing you in the PVP arena of Stilt when it springs onto PSVR2 on March 8th 2024.
The developers did a fantastic job with this reimagination of ‘Alone in the Dark’. It was the perfect mixture of puzzles, mystery and a great storyline to keep you enthralled in the title for hours. If you love a great eerie story where you need to think outside of the box then this is a perfect skin-crawling experience for you.
Hi-Fi Rush may not have been successful the first time, but now it’s available to even more players on PlayStation 5. First, it was only accessible via the Xbox Game Pass, but now it’s available to purchase on its own and a physical version will also finally be available thanks to Limited Run Games. The bright and colourful characters, environments, enemies, bosses and more, all playing along to the beat, make this a must-buy for any console it’s available on. Hi-Fi Rush is the perfect game for anyone ready to rock!
Not in a million years would anyone have ever expected to see Plumber’s Don’t Wear Ties on modern consoles, but here we are. It may be a remaster that nobody asked for, but we certainly are glad that Limited Run Games made it happen.
Contra: Operation Galuga isn’t just a one-for-one remake with a facelift of the Konami classic from 37 years ago. It adds more context to the story and isn’t afraid to change things up.
“For as long as there is Tekken, your story will continue”. Katsuhiro Harada and the team at Bandai Namco have been taking all the steps in the right direction and Tekken’s future is looking more electrifying than ever.
The Like a Dragon series has always gone all out with their storytelling and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth keeps that momentum going by looking into the future while not ignoring the past and is once again, a big emotional rollercoaster. The turn-based mechanics have some new additions making it more fun and entertaining than before.
Ubisoft is one of the leading brands in video games today with a library of successful franchises but doesn’t seem to realise the gem and piece of gaming history they have in Prince of Persia. While we can’t say “The Prince is back” since it’s not The Prince you’re playing as, finally getting a new Prince of Persia game after 14 years is still a good feeling. Even if it’s another reboot with a different genre, the latest entry in the legendary franchise is still a fun and challenging game, packed with loads of content with over 20 hours of playtime and plenty of replay value. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is an excellent way to start 2024.
It may have taken 48 long years for Grendizer to finally get his own videogame adaptation, but the wait was well worth it. UFO Robot Grendizer: The Feast of the Wolves is a love letter to the manga, anime, and most importantly, the fans.
Her first appearance in a “proper” videogame may not have lived up to its full potential, but loyal fans, especially the kids, will appreciate what this game has to offer, and this is only the beginning.
The large variety of microgames, the cast of colourful characters, and the increasing speed, intensity, and difficulty of the addictive gameplay will surely keep players coming back for more. WarioWare: Move It! is another solid entry in the WarioWare series, and a fantastic party game for friends to come over, join in on the madness, and have an absolute “WAAAHHHHH!!!” of a time!
The story is one to be remembered for years to come, and will likely leave fans shedding a few tears at the end. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is an emotional, action-packed rollercoaster that continues the legendary story of Kazuma Kiryu, the Dragon of Dojima.
Even with its faults, the Blue Blur’s latest outing is another radical game to add to the collection whether you prefer modern or classic. Sonic Superstars keeps the momentum going with no signs of slowing down. “Gotta go fast!”
Since his humble beginnings in 1981, Mario is still going strong, showing why he is the face of Nintendo and a true icon of video games, and his latest outing is once again proof there is still a love and appreciation for classic 2D side-scrolling platform gaming, featuring hours upon hours of pure fun and being full of wonder, whether you’re playing solo or with friends. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a must-buy for any Mario fan, young or old, with plenty of good times ahead. “Here we goooo!”
Konami has a big library of iconic games, and Metal Gear Solid is the perfect franchise to pack in a compilation game and bring it to modern consoles. Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1 has decades’ worth of nostalgic Metal Gear content for fans new and old to sneak into their leisure time.
Truck Driver: The American Dream makes some minor improvements to the original game from 4 years ago and is a small step in the right direction, but the series still has a long road ahead before it can be taken seriously as a truck driving simulator. Players seeking the ideal trucking video game experience will have to look elsewhere.
