GINX TV's Reviews
The story had me captivated, especially with how well it builds the friendships between characters, hitting home with every shocking twist and emotional moment. Sea of Stars is a gorgeous love letter to its predecessors, and avid fans of the genre should pick up without a seconds hesitation.
Fort Solis' strengths are quite apparent from the get-go. It's a short, interactive thriller with a great cast, jaw-dropping visuals, and some frantic moments tucked in between. It has a great premise, and the slow exploration-based gameplay has its appeal. However, shallow writing and inconsequential QTEs make it an unfulfilling thriller experience.
Gun Media’s Texas Chain Saw Massacre shines in its unique yet faithful and genuinely scary adaptation of the Texas Chain Saw Massacre film. Honoring fan-favorite characters (like, of course, the ever-iconic Leatherface) and brand-new introductions that don't at all feel out of place, TCSM seems like it might be a mainstay in the asymmetrical horror game world.
RIDE 5 is a thrilling experience, with plenty of content. But with a high learning curve, you'll need to spend quite some time finessing your racing experience before it gets really good.
If you were expecting Madden 24 to reinvent the wheel, maybe you should wait for Madden 25 (part two) to see if things change more next time. If you’re a longtime Madden player who expects a similar but slightly upgraded game each year with new rosters, that’s exactly what you’ll get from Madden 24.
If you’re after something casual to engage with that respects your time, offers you an intriguing story and lets you flex some creative muscles, then The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is a narrative journey worth embarking on.
For what it offers: plenty of otherworldly environments, a philosophical yet somber approach to narrative, atmospheric musical compositions, and moderately challenging puzzles from an independent studio, Lifeless Moon is an impressive follow-up that will invade your thoughts long after it ends.
Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart is a thing of beauty and a breath of fresh air among other AAA games of this generation. It's a short, sweet, and spectacular nostalgia-inducing adventure that revitalizes not just a classic franchise but a genre of games that not many modern AAA studios dare to make anymore. On the PC side of things, it's a solid port from Nixxes Software that continues its streak of putting console games to PC in the best possible state.
For the most part, Remnant 2 is a satisfying souls-like that feels like a major step up from its predecessor in every single way. The gunplay is tight and precise, and there's an unprecedented potential for build-crafting. Having the option to hop on to a friend's game to play through a different biome means progression never stops, even if you get stuck in your world. If it wasn't hell-bent on making me miserable all the time, Remnant 2 may have been one of the most memorable games of this sub-genre.
Your opinion on Sonic Origins Plus is going to boil down to whether you're willing to spend money on games so old that your fridge could probably play them. If you're a huge Sonic fan, then these are worth the purchase. If not, then your fridge will probably do, honestly.
Another Fisherman's Tale takes everything from the first in the series, and expands on it to create an even better experience from start to finish. Don't sleep on this, it's one of the best PSVR 2 games to date.
I’ve absolutely adored my team with Street Fighter 6, it may soon become my favorite fighting game, ever. It’s loaded with content for any taste level, and has never been easier to get into for newbies and I truly cannot wait for the FGC community at large to embrace Capcom’s finest entry to the series yet.
Diablo 4 doesn't reinvent the wheel but instead builds on ARPG systems and throws some magnificent, addictive endgame activities at prospective Nephalem. It makes up for the shortcomings of its predecessor and sets a new standard for the ARPG genre with a dark, twisted tale, five massive and unique regions to explore, brilliant ARPG gameplay, and a wealth of diverse endgame content.
Despite a few shortcomings, System Shock still remains an engaging game. It might not click immediately, but if you allow yourself to match its flow you’ll come away feeling satisfied. Aspects of System Shock that were ground-breaking back in 1994 feel primitive now, such as emergent gameplay or reliance on audio logs, but this remake gives a long-overdue polish to one of gaming's most revered titles. Its respect of the original material combined with an impressive visual refurbishment will undoubtedly delight core fans, but new players might need a bit of perseverance. If you can look past the awkward combat you’ll be rewarded with a unique experience, one that never insults a player’s intelligence. Both challenging and intriguing, System Shock is still deserving of its legacy and, in remade form, it’ll live on that little bit longer.
Redfall feels like a cluttered and unfocused experience that doesn't compare to the studio's previous endeavors. Arkane's feeble attempt at fusing two genres robs Redfall of everything that made its previous games special. There's no saving Redfall from its bloody fate.
The experience had within this version of Resident Evil Village is like no other. I was in awe of the graphics, and it is super immersive and truly frightening. If you're looking for a good horror game to play in PSVR 2, look no further.
Dead Island 2's engaging combat, the sheer number of customization options, and its laid-back satirical world-building make it a worthy sequel. There are a few gameplay and quality-of-life issues that make this a somewhat frustrating experience though nothing major that would rob the overall fun factor of this game.
With numerous customization options, tons of great songs, and even the added mini-game of catching bras and pants after each show for extra points, Unplugged: Air Guitar is a fun and light-hearted rhythm game that will have you feeling like a rock god in no time.
Minecraft Legends might never be StarCraft II's level of a strategy title, but as a strategy/action hybrid with a multitude of unique elements, it doesn't have to be. It is, however, a triumphant exercise in combining genres and offers both a unique and rewarding experience.
From its post-apocalyptic setting to the innovative gameplay and co-op capabilities, Meet Your Maker so far has a lot going for it. The game might be quite different from Behaviour Interactive's existing well-known property, Dead by Daylight, but its unique take on raiding and base building feels like a refreshing step for the developer. Despite being Behaviour’s first base-building game, the game breathes fresh air into the genre, offering players an innovative experience in a post-apocalyptic, sci-fi environment with the perfect formula for emphasizing the community’s creativity. The developers could perfect the game by expanding upon its lore and characters, creating an even more immersive world for fans to explore.
