The music in Fire Emblem Engage is exciting and memorable. The opening theme is very silly and feels like it came straight out of a 4Kids/Fox Box show, but it fits the less dramatic atmosphere of Engage and is quite catchy. The voice acting is strong as well, with many...
Treasures looks alright thanks to its colorful and stylistic look, but it’s another game that could have been more impressive on a stronger piece of hardware. As we (presumably) come toward the end of the Switch’s lifespan, I hope to see colorful games like this looking a bit sharper on...
The rest of the new voices are mostly okay, with many of the carried over performers from Final Fantasy VII Remake (especially Cody Christian and Britt Baron, Cloud and Tifa respectively) doing great work. While I think the original dub is still better, most of these performances are strong in...
The Callisto Protocol
Much like Dead Space, there’s no overt HUD in The Callisto Protocol. You can see your health on the back of the playable character Jacob’s neck. This is just as welcome now as it was back in the day, as the lack of HUD makes the game more immersive, especially...
Pokémon Scarlet
There’s so much good in Scarlet that could have jump-started an incredible new era for the franchise, but the sheer number of bugs, performance issues, and exclusions make it hard to recommend in its current state. Maybe we’ll get patches to smooth out some of these rough edges, but I...
The music is certainly more subdued than in previous Sonic games, though the vocal tracks that play during the numerous Titan battles are extremely hype-inducing. The fishing theme is a true lofi banger, and though there aren’t necessarily as many immediately memorable tracks as in previous Sonic games, everything fits...
The voice acting and music in The Divine Force are of high quality, as I felt none of the major voices seemed out of place or poorly directed. There are a few tracks that truly stood out, with the main boss battle theme, in particular, exuding an excitement that gets...
Soulstice looks quite nice, with Briar and Lute standing out as the most visually appealing and interesting characters. The various enemy designs work for what they are, and the stages are of high quality despite the themes blending together and feeling like one long stage.
There’s plenty of potential for The Breakers to become a bizarre but addictive asymmetrical multiplayer game beyond these flaws. When you get the hang of things, The Breakers can be incredibly fun. It’s just getting to that point that can be frustrati
Unfortunately, Lego Bricktales crashed on me a good few times. Sometimes this would reset my progress to before the most recent build, which could be anywhere from 5-30 minutes of time. Hopefully, this is easy to patch, as it puts a real damper on the whole thing. Once in a...
It’s unfortunate, as the concepts present are pretty awesome. Diving deeper and deeper into the Abyss, with status ailments affecting you as you go up in larger portions, and trying to gather as much as you can could all lead to a great game. For as oversaturated as the market...
The world and aesthetic of Soul Hackers 2 is brilliant. Taking place in a stagnant future where everything is subtly hopeless but delightfully neon, the game doesn’t feel especially far-removed from our own reality. Seeing the different characters all manage this rough future – especially with the potential apocalypse that...
