Runner3 is an old idea with a fresh coat of paint, but that idea still brings a lot of fun to the table.
Alongside from its setting, Pillars of Eternity II improves in almost every way upon the already celebrated Pillars I, from the obvious, such as improved graphics and increased voiceovers, to the details, like better stealth mechanics and a new day-night system.
Although there's a very competent core loop and entertaining resource management sim somewhere within State of Decay 2, it's really, really, broken. Unacceptably so. It frustrated me mightily to see a flash of a game I wanted to play, only to be immediately reminded that it's not ready for release.
Overall, and despite a few relatively small annoyances throughout the game, Super Mega Baseball 2 provides an enjoyable for the entire family!
Popular locations, iconic songs and a truckload of things to see and do make this one title that is going to keep you going well until the next Zelda game comes out, and then some.
Overall, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux is a worthy installment on the 3DS not only as an enhanced port of a 2010 game but as just a regular 3DS title all on its own.
Omensight is an enjoyable indie adventure with a compelling murder mystery that unravels several layers of depth and deception.
The Council Episode 2: Hide and Seek does a terrific job of building more intrigue for its fascinating story.
There really isn't much I can fault Wizard of Legend for overall. It's apparent that Contingent99 knows what they are doing, and they've confirmed that there is post-launch content on the way as well, so be sure to give these two gentlemen an honest shot, as you may end up as pleasantly surprised as I was, if not more so.
Gameplay-wise, Trailblazers kicks off on all cylinders in a wonderful first impression. However, it drags on its way to the finish line, which is why a driver might prefer some company to keep them entertained along the way.
If I was going to recommend one LABO product, I'd definitely pick the Variety Kit, there's just more to do there. But if you've completed the Variety Kit and are desperate for more cardboard fun, than the Robot Kit is your only other option – just don't expect any long-lasting enjoyment.
For The King, despite its inviting art style, is a game that you need to play and lose repeatedly before you have a real chance of winning.
Building each project in the Nintendo LABO Variety Kit was, for the most part, really fun and satisfying.
This is truly a Total War Saga– a smaller entry in a venerable series that's not interesting in rocking the boat.
Overall, Forgotton Anne is an ambitious title that successfully fuses gameplay with animation.
If there was more variety in the campaign, I'd be far more willing to recommend this, but as it is now, expect an experience that grows dull after a couple hours.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero is more than the sum of its parts, but I just wish a few of those parts were original concepts.
Having a unique experience every time I play is really cool, even if it's not quite unique enough.
Overall, Guns of Icarus: Alliance is a steampunk entry into the battle royale gauntlet that has some seriously stiff competition and while it brings a unique spin to the genre, there's not enough to make it a real threat to the genre.
Dragon's Crown Pro is a straightforward and worthy remaster that new players will surely be enthralled by
