Dragon Quest has always been Dragon Quest. It is very, very good at being Dragon Quest. This game continues that tradition and is a worthy addition to the catalog.
Tense horror games are oftentimes miss, but Konami is back and so is SIlent Hill, and I couldn’t be happier.
I loved the fact that every encounter was a puzzle to figure out and while I failed more times than I’d like to admit, even in those times I still had a good time; and I can’t think of higher praise for any game.
It was a fun trip down memory lane, but this release won’t be resurrecting the franchise.
If you’re the type of person who loves old-school challenges, strategic decision making, and isn’t turned off by the risk of losing everything and starting over again you’ll find a lot of enjoyment here. Just make sure you know what you’re getting into, because one more run may just turn into 1,000.
Well, the question remains though; is Super Limit-Breaking Neo worth it? Yup, it sure is. Especially if you already have Sparking Zero then you are a connoisseur of DBZ games. And as such it would just be uncivilized of you to not also have this DLC that will complete the package, even if the single-player mode is just kind of meh. All the characters and their interactions more than make up for it in my opinion.
Zero Company is now to be counted among that group, with its mix of excellent gameplay, wonderful immersion and one of the best Star Wars stories we have had in a long time.
MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls is not Marvel vs Capcom and it was never trying to be, despite how desperately many people seem to want it to be. While the issue with inputs, pc performance and a lackluster roster had a lot of people bouncing off the game in the first week of release, I’m glad I stuck around and gave it more time as I’ve discovered that it’s a solid foundation that could become something truly special with a few iterations.
Well Dweller is a must-play for fans of Metroidvania games. If you are like me and tired of digging through all the crap out there to find a great adventure, you can stop here.
The addition of Peace Walker and Ghost Babel are great, and the encyclopedia rounds out the package. I know what I want for Volume 3 but cannot fathom getting the rights to Twin Snakes would be easy. I am guessing we see something like MGSV and Rising with perhaps bonus titles including the Ac!d series. For now Metal Gear fans are eating good, and I am here for it.
Aggelos 2 is a great sequel to a solid game. It suffers from backtracking and not quite upgrading the experience in the presentation department, but the updates and enemy variety kept me coming back.
While my love for the Trails series is well documented at this point, it was back when I completed the original Trails in the Sky SC that it became a full-on obsession. To see such an important game to me, remade with such love and care warms my heart. Whether you are a veteran of the series like myself or a new fan discovering the series with these remakes, you are in for a treat- or perhaps, a new obsession.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 should be counted among the few really good Aliens franchise video games that we have; and I say that even with the small issues I’ve experienced.
Wolverine is another great game from Insomniac. I was kind of shocked how linear and brief it was though.
I expected more from a game called Mexican Ninja yes, I was given a Mexican ninja to control but I was really hoping that the developers would lean into the complete wackiness of the story and its characters.
If you are a fan of Hotline Miami and its sequel; then I feel pretty safe in suggesting Kusan: House of Wolves to you. As I said the game doesn’t do anything inherently wrong but I just could not gel with the combat rhythm and precision that it demanded of me.
Duskfade is a throwback for sure, and it knows exactly what it wants to be. It hit all the notes for me, and I really enjoyed my time with it.
Visually the game looks outstanding. It is chock full of color and the standard biomes you would find in most platformers. The cartoon aesthetic reminds me of classic Saturday morning cartoons and the animations are fantastic.
Kynseed isn’t a game that you ‘finish’ in the traditional sense though. It allows players to build an impressive family tree and continue playing through that family for generations. It offers a completely open way of enjoying its world, much like real-life players have freedom to do what they want and build or destroy relationships.
