All in all, these are solid additions to what was already an impressive overhaul of these 8-bit and 16-bit classics, and help solidify the ideal that the Pixel Remasters could now be considered the definitive versions of classic Final Fantasy.
Strayed Lights is a difficult game to love. It looks and sounds nice, and if you're really into dodging weaving rather than charging into battle I could see how it might be interesting in small doses, but as it stands, it doesn't feel like there's enough here to really make for a satisfying game.
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is a game that's an absolute joy to play. Exploring these worlds, slicing through enemies, customizing how Cal looks, uncovering the game's lore: it's all done perfectly here, in a way that should appeal to anyone, regardless of their familiarity with Star Wars itself (though being a fan probably helps). There are minor flaws, to be sure, but they're so minor, they feel like nitpicking. In a year that's already featured some outstanding games, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor still manages to stand out.
The game is plagued by camera controls so dire, they make it impossible to enjoy anything else. With some major tweaks to those controls, it'd be easy to imagine Molly Medusa becoming an under-the-radar hit, but for now, it's definitely one to avoid.
After the Fall plays great on the PS5, I have no complaints about the performance or visuals at all. It is thoroughly engaging, addicting, and a blast to play from start to finish.
if you're willing to look over some of the rough patches or have any love for checking out older classics, then you'll likely find Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection is right up your alley
But if you're a fan of Lemmings -- or even just a fan of heartfelt stories with nice visuals -- there's still plenty here you should be able to enjoy. Tin Hearts isn't going to make you rethink your opinion of the genre, but if you're already a fan, you'll have fun with this.
Spider's Thread makes a great game even better. Ghostwire: Tokyo didn't get nearly the level of attention it deserved on its initial release last year, and now that the game is free for Game Pass and PS+ subscribers (and generally inexpensive enough to buy on PC), there's even less reason why it should be slept on. Do yourself a favour and get it now.
Overall, a great game for fans, but not for everyone.
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.
