Matchpoint – Tennis Championships is great if you want tennis, and nothing but tennis. It'll give you ample opportunity to play match after match, and it never bogs you down in the extraneous nonsense that seems to plague most sports games. But if you want to do literally anything more than that, you might find your attention wavers long before you come close to finishing your career.
Unless you really enjoy half-finished stories, Paratopic never really builds on its great aesthetic to be a game worth playing. It may aspire to bring you back to the late '90s, but given how disjointed it all feels, it never achieves its goal.
If you're into simulating menial blue collar jobs, you could certainly do a lot worse than this.
The real draw in Neon White is the action -- the pure, unfiltered, adrenaline-pumping action that feels like it brings together the best thing about games like Devil May Cry or Ghostrunner or Mirror's Edge or Sonic or whatever else you play when you want to go as fast as possible while slicing and shooting through every single enemy in your way. It's a pretty exceptional game, and it's unlike anything else out there.
I found myself fairly engrossed with Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, and would argue it's the best of the Omega Force/Nintendo collaborations so far. It runs really well in both handheld and TV mode (certainly far better than Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity) and the combat is propelled to another, more interesting level when you start utilizing the ability to command your various units as objectives appear. So even if you've not played through a single musou game before, I think Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes would make a pretty great impression for brand new players, while also breathing some fresh air into the formula for returning fans.
Sixty Words is a decent choice if you're a fan of word searches and you want something different. It won't take you more than a few hours to finish every puzzle, but during that time, it'll serve as a pleasant enough diversion.
This game is not genre-defining, not world-shaking, or game-changing. It is simple, straightforward, *short*, but a hell of a lot of fun.
Spider-Man is a must buy and the new king of superhero games, Rocksteady you still out there?
