LEGO DC Super-Villains
Lego DC Super Villains continues the trend of recent Lego games looking fantastic. I love that that each minifig and build looks as if it was made from real Lego. Each iconic character is made even more realistic through the game’s top-notch voicework. Legendary voice talent like Kevin Conroy, Mark...
My Hero One's Justice
The visual style of One’s Justice is essentially perfect when it comes to adapting Kohei Horikoshi’s artstyle to 3D. In the same way that Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise is the perfect recreation of Fist of the North Star’s artstyle, One’s Justice looks identical to its source material in...
SoulCalibur VI
The music in SoulCalibur VI successfully captures the feeling of adventure and fantasy that SoulCalibur is all about, as does the over-the-top voice-acting that suits the series so well. The narrator/announcer is as hammy as ever, which I consider to be an essential part for any SoulCalibur game.
Tetsuo Hara’s artstyle really shines in Lost Paradise. It looks so incredibly accurate to its source material that I would go so far as to say that this is the absolute best that Fist of the North Star could look in 3D. Character models look perfect, fighting is visually pleasing,...
The most shocking thing about MARS is how good it looks. For what was originally a PS2 game, MARS looks incredibly sharp. This could be because of the game’s slick style and the somewhat gratuitous use of motion-blur, but either way it still looks incredibly nice. I’ve always loved the...
I will say that Shinobi Striker certainly looks and sounds like Naruto, as it adapts Masashi Kishimoto’s distinct visual style perfectly. The music and sound effects feel straight out of the anime as well, and the inclusion of both English and Japanese voices is a nice addition.
I was surprised at how meticulously crafted the visuals of Original Sin 2 are, as I often had the camera zoomed out. Upon taking a closer look, I found the environments and character to be remarkably detailed. The gorgeous soundtrack rounds the package out wonderfully, while the expertly-performed voicework can...
Marvel's Spider-Man
While the voice acting is strong overall, I’d like to commend Yuri Lowenthal’s voicework as Spider-Man in specific. Yuri really nails the more emotional moments in the story while perfectly pulling off Spidey’s quip delivery. Though each Spider-Man voice actor has their own merits, Yuri stands with Josh Keaton and...
The music in Dragon Quest games is always a highlight, and Echoes of an Elusive Age is certainly no exception. The orchestral score is beautiful and memorable, and it features the best iteration of the iconic Dragon Quest overture. Almost every single song managed to get stuck in my head...
Yakuza Kiwami 2
Kiwami 2’s settings are absolutely gorgeous. Kamurocho and Sotenbori feel distinct and different from one another, despite both being brightly-lit city districts. While characters look fine for the most part, I found some cutscenes to have some awkward facial animations, which made the characters look creepy and over expressive. Strangely,...
MXGP Pro’s greatest highlight is probably its environmental visuals. Every course, whether based in a stadium or a muddy forest, looks impressively realistic. Mud flies all over the place as your bike creates wet imprints in the track, while your racer’s uniform gets stained and muddied with each splash. It’s...
Sonic Mania Plus
The physical version of Sonic Mania Plus includes some neat goodies for longtime Sonic and Sega fans. The small art book provides collectors with an insightful look at the visual design of Mania, while the reversible Genesis cover will pull at even the most hardened Sega kid’s heartstrings.
