ZTGD's Reviews
Fire Emblem Warriors continues the excellent port of Nintendo's franchises into the world of musou. The little additives from the franchise translate well into the genre. The art style is outstanding and the combat is just as fun (if not repetitive) as it has always been. This is another solid entry for Nintendo's latest machine.
In the end, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus is a fun first person shooter with some issues here and there that was just enough to get on my nerves. It doesn't shy away from the hard subjects, in both the story and the gameplay, and I think that anyone who enjoys a good FPS should pick this one up. It's well worth the time and money even with the issues it has.
This might be the first time I think the license here might actually be doing the game harm then the game itself.
Echo truly surprised me in ways I didn't expect.
If you are looking for something to dip in and out of during the busy Fall period, then look no further.
I really enjoyed my time with Mages of Mystralia. It's a neat little game that has a lot of heart.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole is the epitome of a sequel.
Rogue Trooper Redux is an ok game. It has some interesting ideas with its mechanics, and while the story was bland, I was never bored with it.
An extremely well done story crafted inside a psychological horror game that nails its terrifying atmosphere. It might not be the longest game or even the best horror game, but it truly got under my skin at times, and that's one of the highest accolades I can give any title in the genre.
Wulverblade is a blast to play, it looks and runs well, and it has rolling heads and slow motion death kills. It's colorful yet dark, it's a game yet it offers an educational aspect. It can feel hard at times, but the checkpoint system helped elevate that most moments. Grab a friend, a joycon, and do some split screen skull bashing because Wulverblade is a fun nostalgia romp and worth the price of admission.
I have to give props to Light Tracer for attempting to take a classic genre and flipping it on its head to fit in VR. In some areas it shines, but it is where it counts the most, in the controls, that the game just falls short on. If you have a PSVR collecting dust, then there is value in picking Light Tracer up and giving it a try, if only to experience a platformer in VR. But I would recommend maybe holding off for an inevitable sale.
Elex is a game that I like on a core and fundamental level.
All in all, it's a decent ride of a game and done really well, but I find that because of the high price point, only the shump veterans should look into getting it.
Shadow of War improves on almost every aspect of the original game. There is so much to do and the systems in place are truly special.
Evil Within 2 is how a sequel should be constructed. Everything about it feels like an improvement upon its predecessor.
I really enjoyed my time with it and any platforming fan will too.
Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth continues the proud tradition of the franchise with its stellar character customization and level designs as it poses a daunting challenge, well worth conquering- one tile at a time.
Forza continues to deliver year-in and year-out. This outing will also be a showcase for Microsoft's upcoming 4K console. Turn 10 continues to deliver, and if nothing else Microsoft has this genre on lockdown for the time being. Glad to see the team not get complacent. Forza Motorsport 7 is yet another must-own for racing game fans.
In the end, Mystik Belle is a decently fun game that has a few issues when it comes to the action more than anything. Luckily, the puzzles and item trading are the main focus of the game, and it is the best part of the entire experience.
Ruiner succeeds upon completion
