Akimbot wears its PS2 action-platforming inspiration on its sleeve and it delivers on the experience. The screen tearing issues and foggy environments may push some players aside, if Shipset's quippy dialogue doesn't; but Akimbot's brisk pacing and frenetic action is well worth experiencing regardless.
Monster Jam Showdown is a fun, physics-based monster truck game which is wrapped in a dreadfully underwhelming campaign structure. All your favorite licensed monster trucks are here, but their similar driving characteristics and sounds deflate the excitement.
Aspyr has polished the graphics and fixed some of the camera issues that plagued the original, but all the janky problems at the core of the 2002 game remain.
Earth Defense Force 6 is an arcade third-person shooter providing dozens of hours of bug-blasting fun. The humorous B-movie charm excuses much of the sloppy writing, though the game's tone and mission structure can get repetitive. Its 130 missions can be played via four-player online co-op or old school split-screen,...
Flock
Flock is a relaxing game about taming creatures in a colorful open environment. With strong colorful aesthetics and excellent sound design, it's easy to see the appeal here. The exploration is superb, though the mechanics involved in charming creatures could've been more engaging. If you love games like Pokemon Snap...
Kunitsu-Gami is an intriguing action/strategy hybrid that provides consistently fresh gameplay and relaxing moments. If you're not a fan of strategy or action games, I'd still recommend this game since it's an experience that manages to transcend either genre thanks to its quieter moments.
Star Wars Hunters is a surprisingly fun hero shooter wrapped around a somewhat aggressive live-service model. The shooting dynamics are great and the levels are filled with some nice Star Wars fanservice.
A fun but flawed management sim with a compelling roguelike loop. Lack of customization and content prevent Undead Inc. from reaching its potential.
I enjoyed my HD revisit of Mario vs. Donkey Kong quite a bit, even to the point of earning every badge in the game. While there's not a lot here that will appeal to those who weren't attracted by the original game, it's still a solid remake that adds fun...
Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is a masterclass in game design. The platforming and exploration are silky smooth and incredibly compelling. Puzzles are legitimately clever and addicting to solve, and the rewards feed into the overall gameplay loop well. I haven't thoroughly enjoyed a game as much as Prince...
Masterful level design with the most unique concepts the 2D Mario series has ever seen. Every stage is wildly different and a blast from start to finish.
