As much as we all love competitive gaming experiences, there's something wonderful about stripping things down to the basics and just having fun with your friends. Sometimes I really want to play a fast-paced battle royale, and shoot people down while zipping around a map. And sometimes I just want...
Style can only go so far. A good sense of aesthetic can really carry lesser games, but there's a limit. Every time I play Daemon X Machina, listen to the music, watch a mech glide through the air, I can't help but smile. It looks striking, and the music really...
John Wick Hex
I was the first person to wonder if a slow-paced strategic shooter in the vein of XCOM was a good fit for the fast-paced action of the John Wick movies. Having John Wick slowly move through corridors and weave between cover, as opposed to being a fast-paced ass-kicker, shouldn't work....
Vincent Brooks was a hapless idiot. He was innocent enough, well-meaning, but entirely socially inept and seemingly incapable of holding things together. It always felt as if the horrific things happening to Vincent were placed upon him, not his fault, and he was a victim. But not anymore. Catherine: Full...
A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening isn't the Zelda game I wanted next, despite having massive love and nostalgia for the original. I thought it was too small, too short, too outdated to fare well against other games on the Nintendo Switch, even with a gorgeous new...
Gears 5
There were moments of quiet and contemplation in Gears 5 that made evaluate how very different this game is to what I expected. Peacefully driving a skiff along an icy plane, surrounded by mountains and glaciers, leaving a thick imprint in the snow behind me. Gears is no longer a...
Fire Emblem has come a long way in the last 15 years. The series' humble beginnings on the Famicom and beyond are mostly lost among fans of the franchise outside of Japan, but I've been following it, like many fans, since the first few localized games on the Gamecube and...
It's fair to say that Super Mario Maker was a revelation to everyone who played it. Whether it was the Wii U original or the 3DS adaptation, Super Mario Maker finally allowed players the freedom to craft the worlds they had in their minds, all while playing more Super Mario...
Boxboy has to be the cutest little cube that no one thought we’d see again. After a few successful, if overlooked, games, Boxboy has once again returned for his fourth outing and his Nintendo Switch debut. And not since the launch of Tetris 99 have any of us been so...
I have played too many platformers in my time. As a long-time Nintendo fan, there has never been a shortage of platformers, and no publisher really has such a mastery of what a platformer should be. But it's easy to tire of it all. We're at the point where Nintendo...
Sometimes it feels like there’s no room for innovation left in the hack n’ slash genre. When it comes to felling dozens of enemies with a single move, the Warriors (Musou) series of games have perfected the formula, with dozens of spin-offs, mainline games and collaborations. From One Piece to...
World Seeker does a great job of setting up an exciting One Piece story. The Straw Hat Pirates land at an island that the Navy has complete control of, and Luffy, the captain, instantly starts making trouble and fighting with the local Navy captain, who is in control with a...
