Every Buddy looks quite good for an updated Wii game, as its colorful and cartoony visual style translates to the current generation rather well. The music is primarily made up of remixes of classic Final Fantasy songs, which is a fantastic touch. A good chunk of the main Final Fantasy...
One Piece: World Seeker
The visuals in World Seeker are completely fine. The cel-shaded style compliments Eiichiro Oda’s iconic artstyle quite well, and the special attacks and super moves all look as flashy as they do in One Piece. The orchestral music is great as well, as is the always-stellar voice-acting. I do wish...
Left Alive isn’t terribly ugly or particularly nice-looking, outside of its mech designs. I’m a sucker for mechs and robot suits, so I found the hulking mechs to be a highlight of the game, as they look great and are fun to use on the rare occasion where you get...
I like that Back in the Groove has updated with current times without losing its original style, which is exemplified through the design of this game’s Earthlings. Earthlings have always been heavily-parodied versions of stereotypes like the way-too-tanned tourist or the obnoxious nerd, so seeing those characters alongside new archetypes...
It’s worth noting that Bandai seems pretty enthusiastic about fixing Jump Force up a bit through patches (the first of which is said to fix bugs and reduce load times), so it may be worth coming back to this one in the future. But the extent to which the game...
Kingdom Hearts III
Finally we have the music, which is as stellar as always. Kingdom Hearts is known for its fantastic music, and Kingdom Hearts III is no exception. Remixed takes on classic Kingdom Hearts tracks are a nostalgic joy to listen to, while many of the new songs could easily be considered...
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
On a much higher note, the visuals and music in Ultimate are consistently gorgeous. There are lots of new remixes from all across the roster, alongside pretty much every remix from past Smash Bros. titles. Character models are stages are more detailed than ever before, and retro stages have been...
Beholder: Complete Edition
My issue with Blissful Sleep comes from its abundance of instances where nothing happens. If you mess up a few questlines, you have almost nothing to do for long stretches of time. Though you can fast forward time, it would sometimes feel like you’re just waiting for Hector to get...
Visually, RIDE 3 is decent in motion and inconsistent when static. As is the case with many bike games, the human faces are sort of off-putting. Your rider looks fine in their racing gear (with their helmet on), and tracks look alright in motion. It’s all just fine though, nothing...
As a minor point, I really like that the story is presented in the same way that Persona 4 presented its narrative. Animated illustrations of each character appear when they talk, making different expressions while blinking and striking poses. It goes a long way in solidifying Dancing All Night as...
Spyro Reignited Trilogy
The voicework is great, with Tom Kenny once again proving that he’s one of the most memorable voices in the industry for good reason. The newly-designed dragons’ voices give them much more character as well, as they each feel like their own dragon instead of reskinned clones of the first...
Call of Cthulhu
The other area in which Call of Cthulhu does struggle is its visuals, which are best described as inconsistent. While the supernatural creatures and eerie surroundings look fantastic, the human models run the gamut from creepy to laughably stone-faced. Some big moments in the story are dampened by the goofy...
