Quite possibly the best Sherlock game that Frogwares has made in years, if not ever.
When I write that Ship Graveyard Simulator is an enjoyable game by the standards of the (Insert Job Here) Simulator franchise, understand that is a very low bar to clear. It may be the best Simulator I've played in awhile, but that's only because most of them have been so bad.
Depending on how hardcore your love is for '90s arcade action games you may want to hold off for a sale down the road, but if you have any affection for Strider or games of its ilk, then Cannon Dancer – Osman will likely be right up your alley.
Clash: Artifacts of Chaos is a confusing mess of a game that makes no effort to explain anything, ever. And seeing as the confusing bits relate to basic things like "Where am I going?" and "What am I supposed to do?", I feel like no amount of Zeno Clash would?ve made those things any more apparent.
it's not necessarily the best entry point in the series for new players, but it's a satisfying conclusion to that arc for fans, and it's a darn good RPG altogether.
The opening and final thirds are mostly fine. If you can tough out the middle bit, the game might just be worth it. But that's still a huge ask, and that part of the game is awful enough that I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to give Unwording a chance.
EA Sports PGA Tour is meant for people who want a golf game that's true to the sport. It's not often you see a sports game that embraces the "get good" mentality to the extent this one does, but if you're after the real thing, you'll find it here.
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge – Enhanced Edition has more than a fair amount of content, and although it can be a little bit uneven, it's a fun virtual reality dive into the world of Star Wars with a PS VR2 headset strapped to your face and high quality controllers in your hands.
I can't judge Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition on how well it matches up with its predecessors. What I can do, however, is judge Shadow Warrior 3: Definitive Edition on how much fun it is -- and by that metric, I can't imagine a more enjoyable game.
Once Upon A Jester isn't like too many other games out there, but if you're willing to give it a chance, you'll find that it does what it sets out to do incredibly well.
For newcomers, Tales of Symphonia Remastered is a great pickup but for veterans looking for more, you won't find anything new here sadly. If you are collector of the Tales games it will be worth adding to the collection.
Within the first 5 minutes of playing Moss: Book II, I fell in love. I found myself completely immersed and repeatedly delivering audible "WOW" moments along with giant visual smiles.
Outside of the combat and questionable controls at times, I was immersed in the world and plan to revisit by playing Bendy and the Ink Machine. This is a good example of not judging a book by its cover, or in my case, a Funko Pop at GameStop.
Even if Castle Renovator delivered on exactly what its name promised, I have a hard time imagining it'd be much more fun. There's a way to make these job sims fun, and a way to make them feel like a dull slog, and every design decision here ensures that this game falls squarely in the latter camp.
So '90s, you can almost hear the sound of the dial-up modem.
Part of the reason it feels like MLB The Show 23 is treading water is that, for so many years, it was far and away the best sports game available. When you nail a sport so accurately, all that's left is the sort of tinkering around the edges that MLB The Show 23 does here. But unless you have a burning need to play as Satchel Paige -- and who could blame you if you do -- it makes it really difficult to see why you'd want to pick it up rather than just sticking with MLB The Show 22.
It's great to see an established series take risks like this, and it'll be interesting to see where the series evolves from here, but as of now, there's still much room for improvement.
To be sure, Fashion Police Squad isn't going to make you forget the games it's borrowing from. But part of why it's so fun is because it's poking fun at a genre that can sometimes feel like it hasn't evolved much since the original DOOM, and showing that there's still room for it to grow and evolve. As Fashion Police Squad shows, there's still some life -- and some room to innovate -- in the old genre yet.
Wo Long exists at an intersection between Nioh and Sekiro, and unfortunately falls short of both and fails to establish an identity of its own.
Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is surprisingly fun -- and surprisingly funny.
