The visuals of Skyward Sword HD are impressive for a remaster of a Wii game, which partially comes down to the timeless style it has. It’s a mix between the colors of Wind Waker and the more realistic proportions of Twilight Princess, and it looks swell all-around. The music is...
The sound and visuals of Samurai Warriors 5 are strong, though the game occasionally struggles to keep up with everything that’s happening on-screen. The occasional few-second freeze and dropped frames would make the unending action feel a bit less fluid, though these issues didn’t happen often enough to hamper the...
Super Rush is quite a nice-looking game, as the courses and characters both have that Nintendo polish that’s so hard to replicate. The character designs are excellent, from Wario’s goofy golf-cowboy look to the more traditional attire of Mario and Pauline. The courses are lively and gorgeous, even if they...
Akiba’s Trip doesn’t look good. It originally came out on the PSP, and you can definitely tell right away. The models are pretty simple with janky movement and a lack of detail, with many of the same models being around each area at once. The 2D art seen in cutscenes...
Visually, The Silver Case 2425 is quite stylish. Text boxes appear in various sizes around the screen, while art and videos dynamically change shape and size to give you different sensations throughout the stories. The art itself is striking, and they don’t hold back on detail for even grotesque crime...
On the other hand, the music of Disgaea 6 is delightfully manic. A lot of the tracks are energetic and fun, while others are more subdued and serious. No matter the tone, they all retain that feeling of mischief in some way or another, which makes them feel perfect for...
The best part of Miracle World DX is its lovingly crafted visuals. The pixel art is incredibly expressive, and it gives new life to the game and its fantasy world. Alex himself, as well as Miracle World DX’s many enemies, gets a glow-up that adds a great deal of personality...
As can be expected from this series, the voice acting is on-point. Jennifer Hale gives Rivet a great deal of personality, and James Arnold Taylor and David Kaye are perfectly at home voicing the iconic pair again. Armin Shimerman is essentially the entire reason that Dr. Nefarious is so fun...
None of the games are perfect, but they hold up well for the most part and are still incredibly fun to play. The Master Collection makes it possible for a new generation to give these classics a go, and it does so with style. Keep in mind that there are...
The music of Strive is absolutely stellar, as each character has a banging rock theme that accompanies them. The lyrics can be nonsensical, but the rhythms get you hyped for every match. I can’t wait to submit “Smell of the Game” for the best song in this year’s GOTY discussions,...
The music is very energetic and almost aggressively exciting, which is a good fit for the tone of World Brothers. The voice acting is especially suited to the game, as it’s as hammy as one could hope for in a B-movie inspired game like this. Some of the silliest lines...
The music of Nocturne HD is great and suits the game’s chaotic nature; the problem with it is that some of it is horribly compressed. Battle themes and the level-up theme all sound like they were recorded off of a mid-2000’s cell phone. It’s noticeable in the worst way, and...
