Masquerada is a rare gem of a game in which everything about it comes together just perfectly to give plays a consistent and cohesive experience. Sure it’s possible to rue its relatively short running time (at 20 hours, this is a short RPG), particularly when the lore is so deep...
There’s a lot to love about Cat Quest, most of all perhaps its familiarity. That trait feels more like a blessing than the death knell that it is for a lot of other games, and it’s evident that this is a game with a lot of heart. It’s a bit...
Serial Cleaner is one hell of a game. It captures the style and appeal of the seventies greatly, layering it with a surreal ‘job’ to do, and a solid sense of humour. The relationship between Bob and his mother could almost be the foundation for a visual novel series, an...
Fate/Extella is a near perfect port of an excellent PlayStation 4 game, and the best Warriors game that hasn’t been developed by Koei Tecmo. It’s likely to be the only game of its kind on the Switch until Fire Emblem Warriors lands, and it’s the perfect kind of game to...
To be honest, the only redeeming factor of Toby: The Secret Mine is that it’s not one of the many, so many, “roguelikes” or pseudo 8-bit platformers that are the norm these days from indie developers. It felt kind of refreshing to go back to 2014, even for a fleeting...
It has been a real joy playing Aven Colony. As with any good simulation game, it’s a fairly relaxed, sedate experience that’s engaging for the mind by offering so many complementary and conflicting systems to manage. Without involving the micromanagement of something like Transport Giant, it’s also a game that...
While Ghost Blade HD doesn’t quite match the genre’s peak, it’s absolutely a game worth pursuing for genre fans feeling ravenous for selection on PlayStation 4. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a tribute game, offering players a chance to strategically overcome endless barrages of projectiles. Along the way, you’ll...
If nothing else, the fact that I can spend so much time playing this despite the splitting headaches it gives me should clue you in to its sheer entertainment quality. Splatoon is ugly.
Fallen Legion shows all the potential in the world to become a great IP. The core ideas are strong, and the attempt to tell an interesting, deep story is admirable. Unfortunately this one doesn’t execute on its ideas as well as it should, and, critically, this lets down the game’s...
What this all amounts to is an expansion that doesn’t push Final Fantasy XIV in bold new directions because, quite frankly, it doesn’t need to. Stormblood takes everything that makes the game good and doubles down on it, expanding the world of Hydaelyn and filling it with more to see,...
Micro Machines World Series encourages online play as the preferred method to play the game, and for good reason. It’s a real effort to get four players on one couch to play together. Would it be easier to encourage players to the game if the mechanics were stronger, definitely. But...
