Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite gets things right where they matter most. Combat is entertaining and the addition of the Infinity Stones is a fresh and welcome addition. I also appreciate the diversity in how characters play and a storyline that does a serviceable job weaving two very disparate universes together....
Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash was a blast. Quick paced arena combat supported by a well designed card based system and multiple storylines to follow, this has to have been my favorite entry yet and with the quality online competition modes online modes there’s more than enough replayability to keep...
That alone is reason to see what Absolver has to offer, even before you get to the intricate combat and excitement of interactions with other players. If the network was more stable and the game played more to its strengths around one-on-one combat, this would be a game I’d recommend...
Were that the extent of Portal’s influence, it would be a very positive comparison to make, because ChromaGun has its own unique twist on the ideas that made Portal’s puzzles so smart. But in trying to be a new Portal not just mechanically but in tone, style, presentation, humour, and...
In the end I took Danganronpa V3 to be more of a Agatha Christie or Edogawa Ranpo-style detective story than I did in the previous two games. Danganronpa and its sequel were, to me, philosophical puzzle boxes, with that detective fiction sitting on the top to give it all context....
Project CARS 2 is coming at a time when Microsoft and Sony are releasing their own brands of racing sims, with both Forza Motorsport 7 and Gran Turismo Sport landing in October. In regards to how Project CARS 2 handles itself, it will be Forza and GT that will be...
With Resident Evil 7: Biohazard suggesting that the main entry games are again pivoting in a new direction, Capcom’s re-rerelease of Revelations may be its way of showing fans that it’s also committed to the “classic” Resident Evil formula with this side series. While the visuals have aged considerably in...
It saddens me to say that League of Evil is just a simple platformer game and not much more. On a platform which doesn’t have a port of Super Meat Boy, League of Evil fills its niche serviceably – but it’s not a glowing example of its genre and it’s...
Mary Skelter is sublime. By turns darkly sensual and horrific, it’s also beautiful, ravishing, and backed by truly expert level design and a clean, clever combat system. This game is too different to effectively compare to other dungeon crawlers, but I must say, of all the many games in this...
Whether you enjoy raising monsters, slaying them, or adventuring across vast lands with your pals, you’ll find something to hold your attention in this game, and who knows? You may even come to find yourself loving every little bit of this adventure.
Overall though, Everybody’s Golf sticks firmly to the fairway, though it swings a little too wildly too often and dumps itself in the bunker at times too. The grind is real, and though it’s enjoyable enough, it’s also a game that’s quickly going to become hostile to newbies, and that’s...
Before diving into why Sonic Mania is a triumph, though, I’d like to point out that simply releasing a 2D Sonic game has never been a guarantee of AAA quality. Some of the problematic 2D outings date back to 1992 with Aspect’s version of Sonic 2 for the Game Gear....
