Rooftops and Alleys: The Parkour Game, despite the ‘on the nose’ naming convention, despite there not really being too many alleys, brings parkour to the type of structure you’d find in a free skate mode in something like Tony Hawk Pro Skater, but with the ragdoll physics of something like...
Wizard of Legend 2 comes to us from Dead Mage, instead of its original developer. While this does allow for a whole new look, and feel to its combat, the identity of the previous game has changed to something more akin to the likes of Hades; for better and worse.
Scar-Lead Salvation has an interesting premise and some solid ideas that are rarely present. With bland environments, repetitive enemies and combat, and a poorly executed fan-service destroyable armor gimmick, Scar-lead Salvation is simply a poor experience.
What would you do if you could date your dining room table? your shower? or your bed, considering you sleep with them every night? Well, Date Everything has that answer and a whole lot more. Date Everything is a dating simulator worth swiping right for.
Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny is a fairly by-the-numbers remaster that offers us the best version of the game, despite some opportunities to improve upon what was already there.
Warhammer 40K: Speed Freeks can certainly feel limited in what is available to take on, but the extremely low price does make up for some of that. Still, additional modes, and even vehicles, should be added at a somewhat regular pace if they intend to keep its player base engaged.
Monster Train 2’s variety and content does wonders for repeated runs, even back to back to back until you've lost track of time. The upgrades, equipment cards, and the synergies between the clans make for a very entertaining game, despite the forgettable story and character moments.
While Revenge makes some improvements over Journey, I certainly wanted more from it than what is here. The third person perspective is ideal for this series, and there is a lot of potential for a third game. However, a lack of combat focus and story hurt it overall.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has some of the best fighting games of their era in one amazing package. Nostalgia is certainly riding high here as the 3D visuals obviously don’t hold up, but they nonetheless are oozing with charm and personality, especially Project Justice.
Doom: The Dark Ages is often a perfect successor to the rest of the trilogy, with some fantastic weapons, a great addition with the shield, and an absolutely breathtaking aesthetic. Still, the bland soundtrack and wide-open areas can zap the energy out of most encounters.
Trident's Tale
It's a fun swashbuckling adventure that plays like a Saturday morning cartoon. The characters are fairly likeable with mixed performances, but the ship combat and fights our hero, Ocean, will have are likely where people are going to get the most out of this game, even if they lack polish...
Blades of Fire
Blades of Fire has moments where I do tend to forgive some of its blatant issues, but around every corner is a reason I tended to lose my interest in what it was offering. The combat and weapon systems are great when they work, but those moments only come so...
