The atmosphere of Crystal Chronicles is charming and whimsical in both its visuals and music. The designs of the various races are creative and distinct, and the levels are all distinct enough to be memorable. The updated visuals are well-done and sharper than before, without removing the appeal of the...
Boomerang Fu
The exciting music and clean visuals of Boomerang Fu add to the game, especially the freezeframe and slowdown that occurs when you get a kill. The spill effects that come with kills (depending on what food you are) are a nice touch as well, as they add some carnage to...
Destroy All Humans!
The sights and sounds of Destroy All Humans are another highlight, as everything is crisp and new without losing the original game’s art style. Enemies are delightfully stumpy and cartoonish, while the Furon have a nasty amount of detail to them (I’ll never unsee Crypto’s pulsating holes on the back...
Visually, Lycoris looks quite nice but suffers from poor performance. The character models and illustrated scenes are crisp and high quality, and there are some nice particle effects spread throughout the game. The problem is that these visuals are the cause of some harsh performance issues, with an incredibly inconsistent...
The presentation is a bit disappointing, as the 3D models are very basic and rounded, which somewhat deflates the appealing Harvest Moon art style. The 2D art used for dialogue portraits is perfectly fine, it’s just the plump models that feel needlessly simplistic. The music is suitably charming though, as...
Mr. Driller: DrillLand
The presentation of Drill Land is incredibly cute, both in its visuals and its audio. Everything is round and clean, while the characters all look different and suited to their personalities while adhering to the game’s pleasant style. The music is upbeat and bubbly, and gets you in the mood...
Visually, Rehydrated is a bit mixed. The models are pretty inconsistent, with Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy looking like they’re unfiltered Unity assets when compared to the expressive and colorful models for Spongebob and Squidward. Environments look great though, as each stage has its own tone and style that sets...
Darius Cozmic Collection
My personal recommendation is the Console Collection, as the number of games and overall value feels more worthwhile, but Darius Gaiden is part of the Arcade Collection, so neither is really a bad buy. Both have various modes outside of the core games, like Time Attack and Practice Mode in...
Skelattack’s greatest strength comes in its hand-drawn visuals. Skelly’s design is simple but very charming, as is the case with Imber and the many side-characters in the game. The environments are fun to explore and to look at as well, and the music can be catchy here and there.
Though technically released for free alongside Aftermath, the Friendship finishers deserve a shout-out for how creative and silly they are. From the Joker being interrupted by a stray Batarang to Kitana playing patty-cake with the sadly-absent Mileena, there’s a ton of fanservice and straight-up goofy imagery shoved into each Friendship....

Also, the English voice-acting is great, both in the main game and the Future Connected epilogue. I’m normally a subs/original voices kind of guy, but the world of Xenoblade feels suited to the wide variety of English accents that the voice actors bring to their characters. Shulk’s voice, in particular,...
