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.
Planet Zoo 2 is an impressive sequel featuring stunning graphics, realistic animal behaviour, aquariums, aviaries and improved building tools.
The combat system will appeal to action JRPG fans, as well as fans of 2D fighting games. But the adventuring, dialogue, and pacing are full of JRPG bad habits that modern players have grown tired of.
It remains a highly effective homage to classic boomer shooters and Warhammer 40,000.
Not only does the game capture the spirit of the series, but it expands on elements to create one of the finest examples in the genre. With its tight combat and wonderful world design, this is a killer comeback for the legendary series.
Those looking for deep, demanding combat may come away disappointed. Twin Peaks taught us that the owls aren’t what they seem, and Silver Pines embraces that same philosophy. It may look like a tribute, but it plays like the real deal.
Better balance and more gratifying progression would help Valor Mortis become a must-play Soulslike.
The Crew Motorfest is the best traditional driving game available on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Fallen Tear: The Ascension is an interesting exercise in fantasy worldbuilding. It’s a good time, and it’ll be a better time with a walkthrough.
The story does an excellent job of bridging a gap between the Gears world before the locust invasion and after.
Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival combines numerous ideas; however, not all of them come together seamlessly.
That’s ultimately what the Complete Edition amounts to: a compact story expansion with one questionable narrative decision, an excellent new single-player mode that’s as satisfying as it is brutal, and a relaxing bonus for anyone who enjoys taking in Ghost of Yōtei’s gorgeous scenery.
Order of the Sinking Star is a wonderful kaleidoscope of puzzles.
Games that treat death, illness, and aging realistically are pretty rare, and Forever Ago is notable for taking on difficult subjects with emotional truth.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen might not be the ultimate expansion, but it is a substantial one.
There are a few duds in this massive bundle, but most of these games are worth playing.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer is the best racing game in the franchise’s history.
With End of Abyss, Section 9 Interactive takes what they learnt from Little Nightmares and creates a new beast that blends their trademark unsettling atmosphere with Metroidvania exploration.
