Recalling fun times playng The Typing of the Dead on Dreamcast many years ago, I decided to give Type Knight a run. I’m pleased to say it’s been enjoyable.
Built-in achievements, small storage size (around 5GB), and super fast load times make this much more than just a port — it’s an impressive “ultimate” edition, if you will. Bravo, Capcom.
Overall, there is no doubt in my mind that Horizon Zero Dawn on the PC is the best version of the 2017 title if you have the right hardware to handle it. If you don't, you can still bring down the quality to near console and find one of the best games in this generation.
Get Even is a good game that is on the edge of being great, but simply doesn't exceed all expectations in the multiple genres that make it up. It contains an intriguing story that hooks you from the get-go, gives you a decent amount of mystery and developed characters to go along with it, but falls short in the action portion of the game. It has more positives than negatives, but it could have been much better with a little bit of FPS refinement.
Overall, the gameplay of TSIOQUE is a layer of entertaining complication. It offers up a little bit of new and a little bit of old and sprinkles it with a helluva protagonist that is fun to play. It doesn't necessarily redefine the point and click genre, but it shows that there is more to it than you might remember. The gameplay is simply a methodically well put together masterpiece that will certainly make you wish for those LucasArts days when they ruled the roost in this genre.
DiRT 4 is a fantastic addition to the long history of this series. Whether you're a serious sim racer or an arcade hoon, you will find plenty to satisfy your rallying needs.
Cars 3: Driven to Win is a surprising treat. It has beautiful visuals mixed in with impressive gameplay design underneath the hood. It's not going to replace your Mario Karts of the world, but it certainly will keep you entertained, especially if you have young gamers in the household.
Long review short, Steep: Road to the Olympics is worth the money and provides you with some solid expansion to an already entertaining title.
MotoGP 18 is the official game of the sport yet despite an extensive career mode and an overhauled engine, developer Milestone has only iterated rather than innovated.
Overall, Ninjin: Clash of Carrots is a fantastic little game to pick up and play.
The Murkmire DLC lets players delve into Black Marsh, the Argonian homeland, for the first time since The Elder Scrolls: Arena. The marshlands are full of wondrous creatures and gorgeous plants. But it is not without its fair share of danger. The fauna of Murkmire know how to blend in, and one may suddenly find themselves sleeping with the Bog Blight or crushed under the weight of a Haj Moda. However, don't think that hiding with the flora is any better; chances are, they don't want you there either.
Little Nightmares II builds on the original's macabre formula of unsettling imagery and clever puzzles by crafting more diverse environments and expanding the player's toolset for solving and escaping tense situations.
For die-hard Wasteland 3 fans, this expansion offers a compelling reason to return, but at a price that’s a little bit proud. For more casual players, or those who have yet to dive into Colorado, you may be well advised to wait for the inevitable complete edition that will probably release next year.
Where the Heart Leads is a narrative journey taking players through the often mundane, sometimes impactful choices made in life. Lacking truly worthwhile gameplay, a swath of players may avoid this meaningful, surrealist story and seek out something less ordinary.
I, personally, enjoy almost anything with a competitive element to it. Add character creation and a beautiful presentation into the mix, and that was enough to make me feel like this is a worthwhile game.
If you're looking for a nostalgic way to get your Rogue Trooper Redux fix, then you might be better off looking at the PlayStation 4/Xbox One releases. The Nintendo Switch keeps up with them in terms of visuals and gameplay mechanics, but falls behind in controls and aiming. The controls simply don't make the gameplay experience comfortable enough to enjoy the game.
A good addition to the Destiny 2 package.
In summary, Strikers Edge is a fun game to play. I am looking forward to playing the 2v2 mode with a friend. But this isn't a game I can see myself sinking my teeth into. It is a game where I can play for an hour a day and then move on. Within that hour though, you will have an exciting experience.
Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator is a dumb-fun experience for the cost of nearly nothing. Its wittiness and sizable options for insulting, as well as its online/offline modes, will keep you entertained for a while, but in short stints.
Romancing SaGa 2 actually was quite fun. At the very least, it was nice to see an older game re-emerge on a next generation console and still be more fun than a hindrance. It certainly contains some classic structure, some unique gameplay, tough-as-nails enemies and some linear restriction to keep it all grounded back in 1993.
