People expecting a story that is perfectly sensitive towards all of its themes and characters may be disappointed.
SURI: The Seventh Note fails to live up to its exciting premise. The idea of combining rhythm-based gameplay and platforming with an Indian aesthetic sounds like a dream. However, neither aspect manages to stand on its own, and ultimately, the two systems struggle to blend together.
Faraway is an at-times exacting physics puzzle game in the appealing disguise of a chill-vibe experience.
Not every remake feels properly justified. I don’t know for certain if the Ocarina remake needs to exist, but it’s a pretty excellent game.
Its forgettable narrative and questionable musical choices might fade from memory, but the combat certainly won’t. It’s stylish, violent, and beautiful in all the right ways. I can’t wait to see what this development team comes up with next.
The Séance of Blake Manor nails the closed-circle mystery concept.
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is a great version of a good retro game.
The Switch 2 version of Stellar Blade is competent but struggles to hit the same heights as the original.
Apart from a few minor technical glitches that the developers will hopefully patch, if you enjoy the tension of survival horror games focusing on stealth and exploration, Red Nun’s Legacy offers a worthy experience.
Thanks to its engaging narrative, excellent voice acting, and layered mechanics, The Killing Stone easily stands apart from recent card-battle/deck builder games.
It’s kind of fun, but it’s mostly compelling and coldly addictive.
It’s not going to win any awards and really doesn’t bring anything new or fresh to the table.
Not only does it improve the visuals, but it also irons out performance issues from the original release.
Virtue and a Sledgehammer might be a game that many bounce off of, so I’d encourage anyone who’s intrigued to check out the demo first.
A strong narrative could have overcome too-simple mechanics and quest design.
Call of Duty might not always get the critical recognition it deserves, but with Modern Warfare 4, Infinity Ward has delivered an experience that’s easy to recommend.
The game is a much-needed and much-desired back-to-basics, made by the giant company that created the genre. Final Fantasy: Resonance is my game of the year right now and is a must-play for all JRPG and Final Fantasy fans.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort is an excellent package of sports games.
Aion 2 isn’t the only MMORPG infested by the pay-to-win parasite. It’s a shame, because while the campaign is full of uninspired quests, the game looks fantastic and the combat has some depth under its shiny surface.
