Sora succeeds in providing a satisfying toolset for players to mix and match playstyles and attacks.
While the graphics and enemies are less than desirable, the music releases an inner childlike sense of happiness that keeps you coming back for more punishment.
Sure, it's not as long as one may hope for as it's over sooner than later, but it stays pretty true to its source material, which is refreshing.
I know I personally would have paid a few dollars just to get Piper in the game. But the Pack also includes a number of other Legends as well.
From its toying with morality to the pure ecstasy it provides when defying the odds and having a successful flight, there really isn't anything else like it.
A lot of the time, playing felt suspiciously like work.
It just also means that the very premise of a game like this set in the Game of Thrones universe is maybe not as enticing as you might think.
Turok Remastered plays to all the worst addictive aspects of the FPS genre, keeping you running for that carrot on the stick, and fiending for the rush of a new upgrade.
Even with its eye-catching art and a bubbly soundtrack, it needs a deeper combat system in what tools you are given, mainly in its lack of a parry function
Republique Episode 4 is neither the weakest entry, nor the best. It's caught in the middle. Whether it's because of development troubles or simply to blame on the story, remains to be seen, and with a finale on the horizon, it still has a chance to end strong.
The new game is full of fantastic modern electronic tracks. Sadly there are no big licensed artists to be found, but there are plenty of Harmonix favorites like Freezepop and Symbion Project. My favorite tracks include Perfect Brain, Dalatecht, and Crystal.
Overall, the music definitely increased the enjoyability of Zotrix.
Instead of feeling like a clever rogue, I felt like an errand boy moving from A to B just to complete the next task.
Your bird's inability to remain at a standstill without shoving his face into a wall is a pathetic attempt to engage the player with meaningful gameplay.
The Summit will have you doing drift races, drags races, and doing stunts with monster trucks. The monster trucks are an absolute riot.
Even with all that said though, it is truly disappointing to have to experience a very solid game that is surrounded by awful visual and audio efforts.
Temple Of Yog puts it all out there early, without any real feeling of getting more powerful other than an ability to take more hits.
Cherry Pop has done an elegant job of making the controls as seamless and intuitive as possible.
Turnover does well at getting the player engaged in an interesting plot and the gameplay, while simple and sometimes a little unfair, is fun throughout.
As a newcomer to the series, the game has a lot to offer, but poor design choices ultimately lead to the game becoming mediocre instead of great.
