If you enjoy the rogue lite genre and like side scrolling beat ‘em ups, then you will probably like this game. If you are looking for fast paced action, you’ve come to the right place. If you are looking for story… you might walk away feeling a little underwhelmed.
With some incredible visuals, and a dope physics engine that adds to the charm of the game, UFC 6 managed to land more punches than it missed with me.
The Rugrats Retro Rewind Collection is a novelty at best. The games included are nothing special and the extras are disappointing to say the least.
Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks should be commended for trying to fill the enormous Twisted Metal-sized hole that the gaming industry has had for so many years.
Thick as Thieves is armed with a lot of tools for success, but somehow doesn’t seem to capitalize on them.
As much as I wanted to like going back to relive some of my childhood memories, this game just doesn’t quite hit the mark. And it made me question when did these types of games become so hard?
As for everything else, Rebirth is by far one of the best RPGs of this generation.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 is an amazing upgrade for the series. Between improvements to the narrative and all the new mechanics this finally feels like a series that has come into its own.
Ariana and the Elder Codex is a decent metroidvania and one fans of the genre who are desperate for another game to play might enjoy.
Bubsy 4D had my attention and when it hits, it is fun to play. Sadly, most of the time it just isn’t.
Developer Cococucumber continues their studio love of using voxel tech to deliver a richly, detailed world in Echo Generation 2. Everything has a crisp and colorful look to it, the monsters, with all their mouths and moving parts were genuinely unsettling to look upon but at the same time I thought it had a strange beauty to it.
Vampire Crawlers is a fun and somewhat addicting game that is easy to get into and challenging enough to keep you playing even if the content seems a little on the slim side
But when it comes to translating Indy to an interactive medium, that’s a tough nut to crack, especially when your game is more about trying to recreate the movie experience than game-ifying the essence of what an Indiana Jones story is.
Invincible VS is a great addition to the growing media empire for its source material. The arcade type endings for each character are hit-and-miss, but the story mode ends up being solid; if a tad short.
The Forza Horizon series is still my favorite current racing game series, but the formula is starting to wear out its welcome.
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes is a phenomenal experience for newcomers as well as long time fans of the show.
Overall, I did enjoy the game even though it seemed to be geared towards a younger audience with the visuals and simplistic story and characters.
Crimson Desert is an odd game for me to place, I enjoyed it for the freedom I had to make my own story and for all the combat and systems but I wasn’t a huge fan of the narrative; even though it did get better.
Directive 8020’s over reliance on stealth segments, cheap jump scares and jarring story transitions prevents it from being one of the best in the series.
Call of the Elder Gods is a worthy successor to Call of the Sea in almost every way. Combining exploration with some stellar puzzles and gameplay the game manages to tell a wonderful story with a Lovecraftian twist.
