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
If you are willing to overcome a few technical hiccups, and if you are an unrepentant sci-fi nerd, Battletech can be your new favorite game.
From its amusing setting to its solid gameplay mechanics, Murderous Pursuits has a lot going for it.
Overall, City of Brass is a huge achievement in design.
Light Fall is a clever and artistically crafted puzzle platformer with a curiously compelling narrative and well balanced, steady rate of increasing difficulty that encourages you to try a little harder with each subsequent stage.
If this will be your first time playing Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, you can scarcely afford to pass this up. With a fresh set of eyes, this is an absolute home run from Nintendo.
Jotun is a well-crafted experience made for anyone fond of great storytelling mixed with satisfying combat.
In the end, Monster Prom's charm stems from its thematic elements. Fantastic interactions, its satirical narrative, and the monster theme offer a unique spin, even if it doesn't deviate all that much from known formulas. But, it does bring a little more to the table, a party for daters who are in it more for the ride than the destination.
At about 5 hours long The Thin Silence isn't a huge time investment, but a big chunk of that time is the mechanical segments that only distracted from the more interesting and important story.
