Whether that’s enough to make Hunter’s Legacy a game worth your time, well that’s something you’ll have to figure out. It’s a beautiful game, and one that has a lot of great ideas, but the execution of them has resulted in a game that’s more frustrating than anything else.
See, many games that revolve around anime and manga throw a lousy two paragraph synopsis at the player before unceremoniously shoving them into the deep end. When a newcomer boots up, say, Bleach Heat the Soul, an introduction abysmally explains the Bleach universe and expects the player to follow seemingly...
The team writes intelligent, worthy scenarios and narratives, and then they do the best they can to build gameplay to support that concept. Spiders never quite gets there with executing to vision, but I don’t mean this as a backhanded complement; I genuinely appreciate what this team does, because it’s...
In the end, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is not a perfect game, but it is a very, very good one that does something the series has needed to do for quite some time: innovate. And that’s difficult to do when both the source material, and the developer’s own...
The game can be fun to play for a few hours here and there but repetitiveness filters through to the presentation, too, with reused music and visuals that become draining after a while. A co-op mode would also have helped out this game as it seems a good fit or...
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness will probably not be remembered as one of the PlayStation 4’s finest. It’s greatly let down by technical issues with a camera that actively works against the game’s strengths: the epic sense of scale and the beautiful presentation. Dig beneath that, however, and you arrive...
It’s so good to see these kinds of serious strategy games on console, as it’s something that has been all-but exclusive to PC over the past couple of generations of hardware. With a comprehensive tutorial system, Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the best fit game for people new to...
Umbrella Corps is an interesting aberration of a game, coming almost entirely out of left field from a studio not known for games of this genre and bearing equal parts ambition and clumsiness. As a study in game design and franchising it is a fascinating title, and watching how Umbrella...
Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma is a game everyone absolutely must play. If you haven’t played the previous games in the series, drop everything and experience them. Even though the artistic direction is a misfire, ultimately you’re looking to a game like this for the narrative, and it absolutley delivers...
To call Asemblence an unorthodox game would be an understatement; it’s a game that throws convention off a cliff. I doubt many would find it fun, or even satisfying in a traditional sense, but it’s a game that pushes the boundaries of what a game can be – that questions...
Once again, this game is really unlikely to come out in English, so be sure to grab yourself a copy from the Japanese PlayStation Network instead. Thank the great Miku in the sky that the PlayStation 4 is region free, because, assuming you even slightly enjoy rhythm games, this is...
