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...
Much like building a road, you lay the foundation to build upon what is there. This is true with how Mudrunner and Snowrunner have shaped where this series is going. Roadcraft is the culmination of those ideas, mechanics, and gameplay sections to a degree where that complexity and depth is...
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a shining example of when a team is using their passion to carve a path of strong storytelling, brilliant performances, outstanding world-building, and a layer of depth to its gameplay that feels breathtaking with every step.
While some questionable characters are part of this long-awaited fighter, City of the Wolves is a true competitor to the likes of Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. That said, it does lack the content found in those big hits, coming across as a far more lean package.
The First Berserker: Khazan now takes the Soulslike crown and delivers a challenging and satisfying overall experience, all presented in a gorgeous art style and a wealth of customization for your Berserker.
