Fairy Tail
Fairy Tail is an explosive and often humorous anime ripe for being translated to video game form, but this latest iteration just doesn’t capture the energy of its source material and the game suffers greatly for it.
Battletoads
Told across a short 3-4 hour campaign, spawning four acts, Battletoads is a self-referential narrative that likes to poke fun at itself, the industry, and several types of gameplay conceits. The animation style is often superb, with incredibly well-made cutscenes that gives us a look at what an actu
Mortal Shell
Mortal Shell, shouldn’t be overlooked. The dozen or so hours you’ll invest into the game across its gorgeous but few areas are teaming with weighted combat, fierce encounters, and an unforgiving lust for your demise. For a game developed by a small team of just 15 people, it certainly has...
While the game is set in the biggest environments the series has seen thus far, the game feels drastically too ambitious for its own good, as this large scale adventure is plagued by incredibly poor texturing, constant pop-up, and significant framerate drops. These issues and more are everywhere, an
When Fast and Furious: Crossroads was first shown off at the Video Game Awards last fall, the game looked awful, featuring extremely bad visuals and gameplay that didn’t look inspiring in the slightest. Cut to release and it’s exactly how you think it was going to be. Was Bandai Namco...
While the JRPG genre has seen a wide range of franchises spawning several decades, it’s rare for them to tell a connected story from game to game, often reinventing themselves with each iteration, rarely ever returning to them. The Trails series can then be looked as something of an oddity...
Ghost of Tsushima
Going into Ghost of Tsushima, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Given what Sucker Punch has worked on before, and the much smaller team size when compared to other Sony first-party studios, I was a bit hesitant if they would pull it off. After wrapping credits on Ghost of Tsushima,...
Destroy All Humans!
Destroy All Humans! joins a growing list of remakes and remasters that are set on capitalizing on your nostalgia, and given the properties that THQ Nordic bought up upon its resurrection, we’re likely not going to see a stop to them anytime soon. Nearly every publisher across the industry is...
Neversong
The roughly three-hour experience features a wealth of interesting characters, gorgeous storybook visuals, and some entertaining boss encounters as you attempt to track down your girlfriend Wren after you’ve awakened from a coma. While the game is largely an engaging experience, a floaty jump does g
Maneater
Maneater sees you, as a rampaging bull shark, ripping through boats, flopping up on shore to gobble up those unfortunate enough to get in the way, as well as contending with an obsessive shark hunter who will stop at nothing to gut you open. It’s chaotic, often buggy, filled with...
With a slick presentation and solid use of its antagonist, The Coma 2 is a solid horror game at a budget price. Its roughly 10-hour journey entertains with an interesting story, characters, and a richly detailed world. While I received a code to try out this game, it led me...
Depending on what you want from a remake may determine how well you get on with SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated. It packs all the charm and gameplay of the original, but other than some fantastic new visuals, the game feels a bit dated in its gameplay...
