Quest Daily's Reviews
I’m not going to beat around the bush, Metaphor: ReFantazio is my game of the year. Atlus and Studio Zero have taken the best bits of the Persona series and somehow made them work within a medieval fantasy setting. But it’s no mere Persona 'holiday special'. The new IP enhances and evolves the formula, becoming a shining example of how to do JRPGs right. When it comes to my games, I value story and character above all else, and Metaphor delivers that in spades.
Jumping back into Starfield was a welcome experience, but Shattered Space feels like a glorified side quest in the grander universe. I loved the main game — I gave it a perfect score! It pains me that the first DLC doesn’t hit as hard as I’d hoped for.
Shadows of Doubt isn’t just another detective game, it’s an open-world, first-person noir experience that gives you all the tools to be the grizzled detective you’ve always wanted to be. From breaking into apartments under the cover of darkness to sleuthing through classified government information, the game offers a staggering level of freedom.
Max Mustard takes some of the best mechanics from our favourite platforming games and blends them together into a fantastical VR world.
The devs did well to recreate the look and feel of the worlds I played in but this was not enough to save Funko Fusion. Just like your Funko Pop collection, sad and long forgotten, I can see this game sitting around for years to come collecting dust.
There are few games that manage to strike the perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation, but Astro Bot pulls it off effortlessly. From the moment you take control of the shiny little robot, you’re thrust into a world that feels both familiar and brand new. It’s a celebration of PlayStation’s past, while pushing the boundaries of what modern platformers can achieve.
While it may not be perfect, The Plucky Squire still offers a delightful experience filled with creativity, lovable characters, and a world that begs to be explored. For an 8-10 hour experience, you’ll more than get your money’s worth.
My time with the game has been a great experience, the team at 11bit Studios have taken the groundbreaking Frostpunk and tweaked and refined it into something new. Almost every piece of the game has changed for the better. While some diehard fans might miss the tighter experience, there’s no doubt that this is a sequel that changes the landscape of the Frostpunk series. And I’m here for it.
Stepping into the world of Qi’Diel is an ocular sensation. Everything around you is so vibrant and colourful, the landscape so inviting — the enemy designs so adorable! You can’t help but smile. Visions of Mana brings a sense of childlike energy and wonder to a genre so often dominated by dark, gloomy settings.
